NDA’s other schemes also help farmers. For example- the PMGSY. When the road connectivity improves, it enables the produce of the farmers to reach distant places. There are efforts like Kisan Rail too. The need of the hour is to improve the lives of the small farmers: PM Modi
Since 2014 we have initiated changes in the agriculture sector aimed at empowering the farmer. The crop insurance scheme was changed to make it more farmer friendly. The PM-KISAN scheme was also brought in. We are working for the small farmers: PM
I would like to appreciate the contribution of Devegowda Ji on the discussions relating to agriculture in the house. His words have added great perspective to the debate. He himself has a strong association with the agriculture sector: PM

The eyes of the world are on India. There are expectations from India and there is confidence that India will contribute to the betterment of our planet: PM
Several members have participated in this discussion in the Rajya Sabha. I thank them all for their participation: PM
He also took a jab at opposition parties for boycotting President Ram Nath Kovind’s speech, saying, “It would have been good if all were there to listen to the Presidential address as well, but it was so powerful that even though they didn’t hear, he could say a lot and his message reached,” PM Modi said.
