When the war crisis in West Asia was escalating, crude oil prices surged from $70 to $122 per barrel within just a few weeks. India was then faced with the difficult choice of raising diesel prices by at least ₹50 per litre.

However, the government took a decision in the interest of farmers. We decided that the full burden of international market shocks would not be passed on to the country’s citizens and farmers.

The government raised diesel prices by just ₹7 per litre and absorbed the remaining burden of ₹43 per litre.

Engineers and young people are developing equipment and machines that can reduce farming costs. Some machines are being developed to make sowing and harvesting easier.

I urge the experts present here to work with farmers to develop solar-powered agricultural equipment that can significantly reduce costs. Just as the world is moving towards electric vehicles, I envision all types of agricultural tools and equipment being powered by solar energy. I am working towards this vision in collaboration with farmers.

I will certainly call upon engineers to work on this. It could become the foundation of a major revolution.

कुछ लोग संविधान को अपनी जेब से निकालते हैं और यह सोचते हैं कि देश का संविधान, देश का लोकतंत्र उनकी जेब में है। सरकार में न रहते हुए भी उन्हें सत्ता का अलग ही नशा है। लेकिन जब ये लोग सत्ता में थे, तब उनके कारनामे कैसे थे?

For prosperity in agriculture, one more thing is essential.

I urge farmers not to remain dependent solely on traditional crops such as wheat, rice and sugarcane.

The government is therefore promoting other crops as well as allied agricultural activities.
