@narendramodi @PIB_India @AgriGoI @SecyAgriGoI @nstomar PM @narendramodi: In the past 7 years, with 'Beej se leke, bazar tak' we have introduced several reforms to modernise the Indian Krishi sector with technology & reviving organic ways to protect mother nature

@narendramodi @PIB_India @AgriGoI @SecyAgriGoI @nstomar PM @narendramodi: From soil testing to new seeds, from PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana to increasing the #MSP 1.5 times the cost, from building a strong irrigation network to Kisan Rail, the government has taken several steps for the welfare of the farmers

@narendramodi @PIB_India @AgriGoI @SecyAgriGoI @nstomar PM @narendramodi: Chemical fertilizers & insecticides used in farming are currently being imported in large quantities in India that is resulting in an increased economic burden on the nation & the common man

@narendramodi @PIB_India @AgriGoI @SecyAgriGoI @nstomar PM @narendramodi: New methods & reforms will help the farmers in bringing a positive change

@narendramodi @PIB_India @AgriGoI @SecyAgriGoI @nstomar PM @narendramodi: Though it is true that chemicals and fertilizers played an important role in the Green Revolution, but we have to keep working on finding alternatives

@narendramodi @PIB_India @AgriGoI @SecyAgriGoI @nstomar PM @narendramodi: We have to take our agriculture out of the lab of chemistry and connect it to the lab of nature. When I talk about nature's laboratory, it is completely science-based

@narendramodi @PIB_India @AgriGoI @SecyAgriGoI @nstomar PM @narendramodi: The time has come to shift our focus from 'Chemistry lab experiments' to #NaturalFarming methods in the Agri sector to support our environment

@narendramodi @PIB_India @AgriGoI @SecyAgriGoI @nstomar PM @narendramodi: India is witnessing an era of 'Back-to-basics' in the agriculture sector and Indian Vedas are testimony to the rich Indian agricultural heritage, infused with anecdotes towards agri prosperity

@narendramodi @PIB_India @AgriGoI @SecyAgriGoI @nstomar PM @narendramodi: We must re-learn the basics of farming & adapt to it with our new technological innovations

@narendramodi @PIB_India @AgriGoI @SecyAgriGoI @nstomar PM @narendramodi: We should promote the 'Lab-to-Land' approach & not limit our organic & #NaturalFarming research methods to theory but help in bringing it to the Agri institutions & research centres to further help the farmers and encourage 'Agri Sashaktikaran'

@narendramodi @PIB_India @AgriGoI @SecyAgriGoI @nstomar PM @narendramodi: #NaturalFarming will maximize the benefits to 80% of small farmers in India who have less than two hectares of land

@narendramodi @PIB_India @AgriGoI @SecyAgriGoI @nstomar PM @narendramodi: Today, some farmers believe that farming cannot happen without chemicals, but this is absolutely false. We must learn ancient traditions of natural farming where we were one with nature

@narendramodi @PIB_India @AgriGoI @SecyAgriGoI @nstomar PM @narendramodi: We should remember the words of Mahatma Gandhi Ji who mentioned, 'Jahan Shoshan hoga, wahan poshan nahi hoga'. Therefore, we are here to reduce decades-long burden on our 'Annadatas'

@narendramodi @PIB_India @AgriGoI @SecyAgriGoI @nstomar PM @narendramodi: As we enter Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, I urge my farmer friends to make #NaturalFarming a revolution

@narendramodi @PIB_India @AgriGoI @SecyAgriGoI @nstomar PM @narendramodi: #NaturalFarming should become a 'Jan Andolan' & I urge all state governments to join this Agri revolution in India
