PM Modi Says 'Centre Giving Priority To Villages, Focusing On Improving Lives Of Small Farmers'

Amid farmers' protest on the borders between Punjab and Haryana, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said his government was giving priority to every aspect linked to villages and also focusing on improving the lives of small farmers through various schemes and initiatives.

He said strengthening the rural economy was necessary to achieve the goal of a 'Viksit Bharat' (developed India).

The PM was addressing a gathering of nearly one lakh people, mostly cattle-rearers and farmers, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera area of Ahmedabad on the golden jubilee celebration of the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which owns the 'Amul' dairy brand.

Referring to the BJP government's ambitious plan of creating 10,000 FPOs or Farmer Producer Organisations, PM Modi said his government was on a mission to turn small farmers into "agri entrepreneurs and exporters".

In his address, he listed many schemes meant for farmers and village-dwellers, such as Micro ATMs, GOBARdhan scheme and Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samridhi Kendras. (PTI Input)
