Speaking at the PM Kisan Samman Sammelan, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in attendance, Adityanath highlighted various initiatives introduced by the Modi government aimed at boosting farmers’ incomes and enhancing their livelihoods.
Adityanath enumerated several schemes, including the Soil Health Card and the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi, emphasizing their positive outcomes. “When Prime Minister Modi assumed office for the third time, his immediate priority was to endorse a file dedicated to the welfare of farmers. Today, millions of farmers are reaping the benefits of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi,” Adityanath stated.
