Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the aim of the Central and State Government is that Annadata farmers should not have to extend their hands in front of anyone. Under this target, 12 crore farmers in the country and 2.62 crore farmers in UP are being given the benefit of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi. To free the farmers from the burden of debt, as soon as the government came to power in UP in 2017, loans worth Rs 36 thousand crore of 86 lakh farmers were waived off. Under the leadership of PM Modi, farmers got one and a half times the cost.
The Chief Minister was addressing the farmers and youth making innovations in agriculture at the Indira Gandhi Pratishthan in Lucknow in the ‘Krishika-Kheti Se Samridhi Ki Aur’ program organized by Amar Ujala on Monday. On this occasion, he honored 11 progressive farmers by giving them a check of Rs 1 lakh each, clothes and memento. This honorarium was given to 11 farmers with the help of Saurabh Shivhare, Managing Director of Kapila Agricultural Industries Limited.
On this occasion, Livestock and Dairy Development Minister Dharampal Singh, Minister of State for Agriculture Baldev Singh Aulakh, Chairman of Cow Seva Commission Shyam Bihari Gupta, Vice Chancellor of Acharya Narendra Dev University of Agriculture and Technology, Prof. Bijendra Singh, Vice Chancellor of Chandrashekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Prof. Dr. Anand Kumar, Director General of State Agricultural Research Council, Dr. Sanjay Singh, Principal Secretary to Chief Minister Sanjay Prasad, CM’s media advisors Mrityunjay Kumar and Rahis Singh, Information Director Shishir and Saurabh Shivhare, Managing Director of Kapila Agricultural Industries Limited, etc. were present.
