NDA Government is continuously trying to break new grounds to turn the decades long agrarian crisis into agrarian prosperity, writes the Union Agriculture Minister
Radha Mohan Singh
National Demoractic Alliance (NDA) Government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has laid the foundation of a modern and future oriented Bharat with new dimensions, innovations and reformist approach to good governance.
The President of the National Commission on Farmers (NCF) Dr MS Swaminathan had advised the then Government through its recommendations in his report in 2006 that proper attention should be given on the welfare of farmers along with agro-based thinking. Farmers provide an important direction to the efforts made in economic reforms. Therefore, to make radical changes in the system, proper emphasis should be given to post-harvest marketing and related arrangements. Keeping in view the unabated erosion of natural resources and climate change, the Agriculture Commission had also called for attention to the management of science-based natural resources and sustainable production and development.
Recently, Dr. Swaminathan observed in an article that, “Although the NCF report was submitted in 2006 very little action was taken until the present Government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi took office. Fortunately over the last four years, several significant decisions have been taken to improve the status and income of farmers.”
