Villages can lead march for change, says PM Narendra Modi

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the villages showed that they could not only bring changes but could also lead to changes.

He said that the success of the Digital India Mission is also the country's answer to those who used to say that bringing change to the village is not easy.

The Prime Minister said this while addressing the Natural Farming Conclave held at Surat in Gujarat through video conferencing today. He said that India had been an agriculture-based country by nature and culture. He said, "Our life, health and society are the basis of our agriculture system. Therefore, the progress of farmers and agriculture is necessary for the progress of our country."

Modi said, "When we do natural farming, we also serve Mother Earth and protect the quality of the soil and its productivity. He said that farmers serve nature and the environment by doing natural farming. The farmers will also get the privilege of serving Gaumata by natural farming."

He said that the country started working on many such goals to mark the 75 years of independence, which would become the basis for changes in the times to come. He said that the basis of the country's progress in Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav is the spirit of people's effort, which is leading our journey for development.

The farmers from different villages along with other agricultural bodies have joined this Natural Farming Conclave. The conclave will also discuss how to leverage natural farming to boost agriculture and farmer welfare. (Agencies)
