Commendable work has happened in developing varieties that cater to specific requirements of agro-climatic zones. Various varieties have also been developed that will further our endeavour of a nation free from the menace of malnutrition.
India is working towards increased organic farming as well as farming on a cluster based approach. Efforts are also ongoing to encourage start-ups related to agriculture, especially ones that encourage usage of latest technology in the sector.
Emphasised on the need to spread awareness on including millets such as Jowar, Bajra and Ragi as a part of people’s diet. Also emphasised on ensuring extensive awareness programmes on water use efficiency and water conservation.
Other aspects relating to ICAR which we discussed included research on indigenous breeds of dogs and horses, mission mode approach for vaccination to cure Foot and Mouth disease, study of grasses and local fodder crops and ensuring easy access to farm equipment.
India is placing great importance to education in the agricultural sector that benefits the farmers. India is proud of its traditional agro knowledge and will complement it with latest technology to ensure a boost to the income of farmers.

Today marks fifty years since one of the darkest chapters in India’s democratic history, the imposition of the Emergency. The people of India mark this day as Samvidhan Hatya Diwas. On this day, the values enshrined in the Indian Constitution were set aside, fundamental rights were suspended, press freedom was extinguished and several political leaders, social workers, students and ordinary citizens were jailed. It was as if the Congress Government in power at that time placed democracy under arrest! #SamvidhanHatyaDiwas
No Indian will ever forget the manner in which the spirit of our Constitution was violated, the voice of Parliament muzzled and attempts were made to control the courts. The 42nd Amendment is a prime example of their shenanigans. The poor, marginalised and downtrodden were particularly targeted, including their dignity insulted. #SamvidhanHatyaDiwas
We salute every person who stood firm in the fight against the Emergency! These were the people from all over India, from all walks of life, from diverse ideologies who worked closely with each other with one aim: to protect India’s democratic fabric and to preserve the ideals for which our freedom fighters devoted their lives. It was their collective struggle that ensured that the then Congress Government had to restore democracy and call for fresh elections, which they badly lost. #SamvidhanHatyaDiwas
BIMSTEC is an important forum to further global good. It is imperative we strengthen it and deepen our engagement. In this context, I proposed a 21-point Action Plan covering different aspects of our cooperation.
It’s time to boost business across BIMSTEC nations!
Let’s harness the rich potential of the IT sector and make BIMSTEC technologically stronger.
संसद के दोनों सदनों से वक्फ (संशोधन) विधेयक और मुसलमान वक्फ (निरसन) विधेयक का पारित होना देश के लिए एक ऐतिहासिक क्षण है। यह सामाजिक-आर्थिक न्याय, पारदर्शिता और समावेशी विकास की हमारी सामूहिक प्रतिबद्धता को सामने लाता है। यह विशेष रूप से उन लोगों के लिए फायदेमंद होगा, जो लंबे समय से हाशिये पर रहे हैं, जिनकी आवाज अनसुनी रही और जिन्हें अवसरों से वंचित रहना पड़ा है।
उन सभी सांसदों का हृदय से आभार, जिन्होंने संसद और कमेटी की चर्चाओं में हिस्सा लिया और अपने विचार रखे। इन चर्चाओं ने विधेयक को और सशक्त बनाने का काम किया है। इस अवसर पर संसदीय समिति को अपना बहुमूल्य सुझाव भेजने वाले अनगिनत लोगों का भी मैं विशेष रूप से आभार व्यक्त करना चाहता हूं। इससे एक बार फिर यह पता चलता है कि व्यापक बहस और संवाद कितना महत्वपूर्ण होता है।
दशकों से वक्फ व्यवस्था में पारदर्शिता और जवाबदेही की कमी नजर आ रही थी। इससे मुख्य रूप से हमारी मुस्लिम माताओं-बहनों, गरीब और पसमांदा मुसलमान भाई-बहनों के हितों को बहुत नुकसान हो रहा था। अब संसद द्वारा पारित विधेयक पारदर्शिता को बढ़ाने के साथ-साथ लोगों के अधिकारों की रक्षा में भी मददगार बनेगा।
Namaste India and Happy #WomensDay.
I am Dr. @access_anjlee, founder of @samarthyam Centre for Universal Accessibility. Through PM @narendramodi’s social media handle, which I have the honour of taking over today, I want to ignite a spark of transformation, and seek a call to action- forget labels, forget barriers…lets strengthen Sugamya Bharat and make it an important precursor to a Viksit Bharat.
Let's ensure that every woman, every individual, can navigate their life with dignity and independence. Let us build on the recent gains and improve lives for persons with disabilities.
Here is more about myself- for over three decades, I've worked on universal accessibility and inclusive mobility. These sectors are integral to creating inclusive spaces. Basis my experience of the recent past, I am positive that accessibility and mobility are no longer remaining only in words but have been seamlessly assimilated with other aspects of governance.
#WomensDay
Research and writing are key passions for me, because this is also how we can drive a positive change when it comes to improving the lives of persons with disabilities. Here too, working towards empowering women with disabilities has been very important for me. I conduct extensive training workshops for government and educational institutions to further this goal. I have worked widely in making schools accessible in India. This is vital because, no one must be denied education just because of lack of accessible infrastructure.
A financially empowered woman is a confident decision-maker, independent thinker, architect of her own future and a maker of modern India! And, our nation is taking the lead in building financially empowered women.
I, @Ajaita_Shah, am really delighted to be handling PM @narendramodi Ji’s social media handles on #WomensDay. I am the Founder and CEO of Frontier Markets.
One issue that remained close to my heart was the challenges women face in rural areas. These challenges could be financial, access to infrastructure and more. Thus, I have spent the last two decades to mitigate this. And, I feel proud that not only have I been able to make a difference, I am also seeing many more women rising to the occasion and doing the same.
#WomensDay
In 2011, I founded Frontier Markets with a simple belief that if we support our rural women, no force will stop them from achieving the impossible. Our combined efforts have ensured a powerful network of thousands of women who are becoming self-reliant and giving livelihoods to other women.
It is gladdening that over the last few years, there are very meaningful conversations happening on this subject. With things like bank coverage, social security, access to better healthcare and improved sanitation, women are finding it much easier to pursue their dreams and create value for society.
मैं अनीता देवी, नालंदा जिले के अनन्तपुर गांव की रहने वाली हूं। मैंने जीवन में बड़े संघर्ष देखे हैं। लेकिन मेरा हमेशा से मन था, अपने दम पर कुछ करने का। 2016 में मैंने खुद स्वरोजगार करने का निर्णय लिया था। उसी दौर में स्टार्ट-अप्स का इतना क्रेज बढ़ गया था। इसलिए 9 साल पहले मैंने भी अपनी माधोपुर फार्मर्स प्रोड्यूसर कंपनी लिमिटेड की स्थापना की।

मशरूम उत्पादन से आत्मनिर्भरता की ओर!
आज मशरूम उत्पादन के जरिये मैं अपने परिवार को आगे बढ़ाने के लिए काम कर रही हूं। मैंने ना सिर्फ अपनी राह आसान की है, बल्कि सैकड़ों महिलाओं को रोजगार के अवसर देकर आत्मनिर्भर भी बनाया है। अब मेरी कंपनी किसानों को खाद, बीज और कीटनाशक जैसी जरूरी चीजों को भी सस्ती दरों पर उपलब्ध कराती है। आज इस कंपनी में काम करने वाली सैकड़ों महिलाओं को, आजीविका के साथ स्वाभिमान का जीवन भी मिल रहा है।

मेरी प्रेरणा – महिलाओं को आत्मनिर्भर बनाना!
बिहार सरकार की जीविका परियोजना और राष्ट्रीय ग्रामीण आजीविका मिशन (NRLM) की मदद से मैंने मशरूम उत्पादन का प्रशिक्षण लिया था। इसके बाद मैंने सैकड़ों महिलाओं को भी मशरूम की खेती से जोड़ा है। अब मेरा सपना है कि गांव की हर महिला अपने पैरों पर खड़ी हो। अभी जो मखाना बोर्ड की स्थापना का ऐलान हुआ है, उसके बाद मैं मखाने से जुड़े काम के बारे में भी सोच रही हूं।
