Addressing the displaced Kashmiri Pandit community in Jammu, Prime Minister Modi reiterated the commitment of his government towards their concerns and issues. He said that this issue is a deeply emotional one for him and so his government is devoted to ensuring dignity, respect and safety of their rights. In this context, he reminded people of the significance of the recently-held Panchayat elections in the state saying, “All of us witnessed the remarkable day when Panchayati elections were peacefully organised recently in this state, with an overwhelming 70 percent voter turnout. This is a historic milestone in strengthening democracy in Jammu and Kashmir.”

Speaking at length about his government’s commitment towards farmer welfare and empowerment, PM Modi highlighted the numerous initiatives taken by the Central government for the farmers in the last five years and more recently in the Interim Budget, saying, “For the first time ever in the history of this country has a government introduced such a comprehensive and historic scheme under which more than 12 crore farmer families, with a landholding of less than 5 acres, will be assisted with an amount of Rs. 6000 per year for the next five years and that money will be directly credited into the bank accounts of the beneficiaries, thus leaving no room for corruption to take place.”

Concluding his address at the rally, PM Modi asserted his government’s priorities for farmers’ welfare while also highlighting the nation’s gratefulness towards the country’s Armed Forces for ensuring security for every Indian. Lastly, he reiterated his vision of building a ‘New India’ that is strong, safe and modern.

PM Modi highlights the far-reaching impact of the government’s pro-farmer initiatives
June 07, 2025

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has underlined the far-reaching impact of the government’s pro-farmer initiatives over the past 11 years, marking a significant phase of dignity and prosperity for the agricultural community.

He highlighted key initiatives such as the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi and Kisan Fasal Bima, describing them as important steps taken by the government for the welfare of farmers.

The Prime Minister also noted that due to the continuous increase in Minimum Support Price (MSP), the country’s food producers are not only receiving fair prices for their crops but are also experiencing a rise in their income.

Shri Modi emphasized that it has been a privilege for his government to serve the hardworking farmers of the country. Reflecting on the last 11 years, he said that the government’s various initiatives have not only enhanced prosperity among farmers but have also contributed to an overall transformation of the agriculture sector.

The Prime Minister highlighted that the government has paid close attention to key aspects such as soil health and irrigation, which have been greatly beneficial.

Our efforts towards farmer welfare will continue with greater vigour in the times to come, Shri Modi further stated. He said that we have worked on dignity and prosperity for our farmers.

The Prime Minister posted on X;

"हमारे किसान भाई-बहनों को पहले जहां छोटी-छोटी जरूरतों के लिए भी उधार लेने को मजबूर होना पड़ता था, वहीं बीते 11 साल में हमारी सरकार के निर्णयों से उनका जीवन बहुत आसान हुआ है। पीएम किसान सम्मान निधि हो या फिर किसान फसल बीमा, हमने उनके कल्याण के लिए कई अहम कदम उठाए हैं। अब एमएसपी में निरंतर बढ़ोतरी से देश के अन्नदाताओं को ना सिर्फ फसलों की उचित कीमत मिल रही है, बल्कि उनकी आय भी बढ़ रही है।
