What All Did PM Modi Quote While Adressing The Nation
PM Modi said, “we couldn’t convince a section of farmers despite best efforts. The goal of the three farm laws was to empower farmers, especially small farmers.”
He continued by saying “A section of them has been opposing the farm laws, even as we kept trying hard to educate, inform them. In view of this, we are repealing the farm laws.”
Embracing his attachment and concern towards the farmers’ PM Modi says, “In my five decades of work, I have seen the difficulties faced by the farmers. When the nation made me the Prime Minister, I gave utmost importance to the ‘krishi vikas’ (farmers’ development).”
According to PM Modi, his government was primarily focused to uplift the farmers. But he feels that some void in the effort leads to the reduced efficacy in properly executing the law. Quoting his idea he says “We worked in providing farmers with seeds at reasonable rates and facilities like micro-irrigation, 22 crore soil health cards. Such factors have contributed to increased agriculture production. We strengthened Fasal Bima Yojana, brought more farmers under it.”
Conclusion
We hope this withdrawal may benefit the farmers the way they have expected it to benefit. Since India is n agricultural country generating 60% of total employment.
