Krishi Jagran's initiative, the 'MFOI, VVIF Kisan Bharat Yatra,' in partnership with STIHL, recently marked its presence in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, as part of its extensive journey across India's western and central belts. On Monday, March 11, 2024, the Yatra made a stop at Baderafutkar village in Gwalior, engaging with the local farming community.
