The Business Guardian
|October 12, 2025
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched two major agricultural schemes with a combined outlay of Rs 35,440 crore, including a mission for self-reliance in pulses, and called upon farmers to increase production to meet domestic and global demand.
Farmers have a critical role to play in realising the vision of a developed India (Viksit Bharat) by 2047, he said while addressing an event at Pusa campus in the national capital.
Modi said the two big schemes -- a Rs 24,000-crore Pradhan Mantri Dhan Dhaanya Krishi Yojana (PM-DDKY) and a Rs 11,440-crore Mission for Aatmanirbharta in Pulses -- would "change the fate of millions of farmers".
