The CM said, “Many programs are currently underway to achieve this. This is part of the campaign launched by the Prime Minister, the National Vision of Natural Farming. He always says that the first mantra for increasing farmers’ income is to reduce costs and increase production. This is possible if the farmer, the food provider, receives timely seeds, fertilizers, irrigation facilities, and the support of scientific methods.”

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath inaugurated the Rabi session’s Kisan Pathshaala 8.0 at the Progressive Farmers’ Conference and Kheti Ki Baat Khet Par program held in Daulatpur village of Barabanki on Friday.

In this program, which involved directly interacting with farmers on the farm, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath discussed in detail Uttar Pradesh’s agricultural progress, multi-cropping, technological innovations, transparency in the MSP system, and efforts being made to increase farmers’ income.

Progressive farmers were also honored at the event, and checks and acceptance letters were presented to beneficiaries of various schemes.

An exhibition showcasing improved crop varieties, vegetables, agricultural machinery, and FPO-based innovations was also showcased. Daulatpur’s advanced farming model was cited as an inspiration for other districts in the state.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that Uttar Pradesh is the country’s most populous state, home to 250 million people.

Under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the state has made significant progress towards overall development in the last 11 years, he said.
