The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi said that agriculture is the foundation of our prosperity and that farmer brothers and sisters are the annadatas of the nation. He noted that their hard work and dedication ensure the progress of the country.
The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam-
“कृषिर्धन्या कृषिर्मेध्या जन्तूनां जीवनं कृषिः।
अन्नदः सर्वदश्चैव तस्माच्छ्रेष्ठतरो हि सः॥”
The Subhashitam conveys that agriculture is a source of wealth, a purifier of the intellect, and the very foundation of all living beings. The farmer who cultivates crops and provides grain to the world is, in truth, the ultimate provider of everything to everyone; for without food, no other form of charity or material possession serves any purpose. Therefore, the farmer who engages in agriculture is the most exalted of all.
The Prime Minister wrote on X;
“कृषि हमारी समृद्धि की आधारशिला है और हमारे किसान भाई-बहन देश के अन्नदाता। इनका परिश्रम और समर्पण ही राष्ट्र की प्रगति को सुनिश्चित करता है।
कृषिर्धन्या कृषिर्मेध्या जन्तूनां जीवनं कृषिः।
अन्नदः सर्वदश्चैव तस्माच्छ्रेष्ठतरो हि सः॥”
कृषि हमारी समृद्धि की आधारशिला है और हमारे किसान भाई-बहन देश के अन्नदाता। इनका परिश्रम और समर्पण ही राष्ट्र की प्रगति को सुनिश्चित करता है।
