Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that Madhya Pradesh government is committed to the welfare of the farmers. Today, Rs 1,600 crores are being transferred in the accounts of more than 35 lakh farmers, without any middlemen or cuts in between. It has become possible due to the system created in India in past 5-6 years, which is being applauded across the world. Kisan Credit Cards are being provided to the farmers and now farmers are getting easy capital for the agriculture works.
Today, cold storage, warehouse and other agriculture related infrastructure has also been inaugurated which will prove beneficial for farmers. Every year crops, vegetables and fruits worth Rs 1 lakh crore are destroyed due to lack of storage in the country. We are now focussing creating infrastructure for agriculture, wide spread cold storage and storage network.
PM Modi said the three farm laws are beneficial and important for the development of agriculture. These laws should have been enacted 25-30 years ago, but previous governments only mentioned these in their manifestos but never implemented them. Agriculture reforms laid down by the Swami Nathan committee were brushed aside by the previous governments, but our governments have implemented them.
