Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Central Government is always giving priority to the welfare of the farmers and their welfare, said Union Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Shivraj Singh Chauhan. The Modi government has taken many important measures for the advancement of farmers through reforms and programs in agriculture.
The federal government ensures the purchase of the minimum support price (MSP) of the farmers, so farmers can get the right price for their hard work. In particular, the government continues to make efforts to achieve self -confidence in the production of pulses.
Rob in buying Tur
The central government has made an important decision on the purchase of Tur (Pigeon). The purchase of TUR in the major production states of TUR has now increased the speed. By 2024-25, the government has approved the purchase of Tur, Urath and legumes under the 100% Price Support Scheme (BSS) of the State Production. This action will be more beneficial to the farmers and the importation will be reduced.
Steps move towards self -lag
The Modi government has announced in the 2025 budget that the 100% TUR, Urath and legumes will be purchased for the next four years to achieve self-sufficiency by 2028-29.
State -wise purchases plans
