The Prime Minister noted how drip irrigation has widely benefited farmers in the region. He added, “The farmers here turned to dairy and animal husbandry. This was beneficial for the farmers.” Shri Modi said that along with ‘Shwet Kranti’ (White Revolution) there is also a ‘Sweet Kranti’ (Sweet Revolution) as people are now being trained about honey products.

Speaking about demonetisation, PM Modi said that the Government has been successful in weakening the hands of terrorists and those in fake currency rackets.

Shri Modi said that Union Government is working tirelessly for welfare of the poor. He encouraged people to use e-banking and e-wallets. He said India wants progress and for that, the evils of corruption and black money must end.
