Transformation in Agri Sector Is the Need of the Hour: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed his gratefulness to all farmers who have chosen the path of natural farming and taken a resolve to serve Mother Earth. He said substantial schemes with significant provisions were introduced in this year’s budget to promote and support organic farming.

"We must strengthen the nutrition of the world and also support the small farmers of India," he said in his Independence Day address from the ramparts of Red Fort.

India and her farmers have the potential to create a global food basket of organic food, the PM said, and pointed out that 60,000 ‘Amrit Sarovars’ (ponds) have been revived and replenished.

The prime minister also said that along with striving for comprehensive development, fulfilling the needs and aspirations of fishermen and livestock keepers has been a part of the government's policies, intentions, reforms, programmes, and work style.
