Addressing the media on Friday, Acharya Balkrishna said: "The day has arrived that the farmers of this region have been waiting for years. The mention of Vidarbha immediately brings to mind the suffering of farmers and the suicides committed by them. We are confident that this picture will soon change, thanks to this orange processing plant."
Balkrishna said Patanjali would need everyone's support and cooperation for the plant. "Our commitment is to transform the dire situation of farmers and the agricultural system in this entire region. Today, almost every farmer in every village in this area is in touch with us. Also, some talented individuals have come to our notice. Our priority is to provide employment to the local people and to make the local farmers prosperous," he said.
Acharya Balkrishna said establishing Patanjali's plant has taken considerable time and effort, as the project saw a lot of delay due to the disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. He explained that Patanjali is playing a leading role in realising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "dream of skill training programmes, thereby developing manpower skills in the country".
