Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister reiterated the Government’s commitment to improving farmers’ income through targeted interventions, value addition, and sustainable agricultural practices.
He stated that agriculture continues to be the backbone of the State’s economy, with over 70 percent of households engaged in farming and allied activities. “More than 70 percent of our households are directly or indirectly dependent on agriculture. Therefore, every intervention we make in this sector directly impacts the lives and livelihoods of our people,” he said.
Highlighting the Government’s efforts, he said that various schemes and programmes are being implemented to support farmers and self-help groups by enabling them to upgrade skills, enhance productivity, and add value to their produce. “Through our different initiatives, we are not only supporting farmers individually but also strengthening self-help groups so that they can upscale their activities and improve incomes,” he added
