PRIME MINISTER NARENDRA Modi said on Saturday several initiatives of his government during the past 11 years have boosted the prosperity of farmers and ensured the transformation of agriculture.
He said on X, "It's our privilege to serve our hardworking farmers. We have focused on issues like soil health and irrigation, which have been greatly beneficial. Our efforts towards farmer welfare will continue with greater vigour in the times to come." Modi said farmers were earlier forced to take loans for meeting small needs, but their lives have been made easier by his government. He cited decisions like annual cash assistance to farmers and the loan insurance scheme.
