PM Narendra Modi inaugurated the two-day PM Kisan Samman Sammelan 2022 and said that the 12th instalment of funds worth Rs 16,000 crore had been sent to farmers across the country on Monday.
PM Modi said, “Under PM Kisan, the 12th instalment worth Rs 16,000 crore has been sent to farmers across India. Under ‘One nation, one fertilizer’, farmers will be provided with cheaper and good quality fertilizer. “
The “Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Urvarak Pariyojana-One Nation, One Fertilizer” was launched by PM Modi. Under the scheme, the Prime Minister launched Bharat urea bags, which will help companies market fertilisers under the single brand name “Bharat”.
He lauded India’s progress in urea production and highlighted it.
“Today, India is working towards Aatmanirbharta in urea production through the use of nano-urea. This will be a major milestone for the agriculture sector in India. “Nano Urea will emerge as a cost-effective medium for farming purposes,” he added.
” From today, the work will start to convert over 3.15 lakh fertiliser shops into Pradhan Mantri Samruddhi Kendras. “These Kendras will be a one-stop solution catering to all requirements of our Annadatas,” said PM Modi, underlining the conversion of fertiliser retail shops.
Additionally, the Agri Startup Conclave and Exhibition were launched by Prime Minister Modi.
A total of 300 companies presented their cutting-edge work in a variety of fields, including precision agriculture, post-harvest and value-added solutions, allied agriculture, waste to wealth, mechanisation for small farmers, supply chain management, and agri-logistics.
The platform would make it easier for startups to communicate with farmers, farmer-producer organisations (FPOs), agri-experts, corporations, and other stakeholders. In technical workshops, startups will also discuss their experiences and engage with other stakeholders.
Additionally, PM Modi debuted the fertilizer-focused e-magazine “Indian Edge.” It will include information on current events; pricing trend analysis; availability and consumption patterns; farmer success stories; and possibilities for domestic and international fertiliser use.
