December 23rd is a day of deep gratitude and reflection as India observes Kisan Diwas, or National Farmers’ Day, in honor of the birth anniversary of Chaudhary Charan Singh. A visionary leader and former Prime Minister, Singh dedicated his efforts to advancing the rights and well-being of farmers.
Kisan Diwas is a meaningful recognition of the crucial role that farmers play in shaping India’s economy and society. To honour this day, Jaane Anjaane Hum Mile’s Ayushi Khurana talks about the importance this day holds in her life.
Ayushi Khurana, who essays the role of Reet in Jaane Anjaane Hum Mile said, “I grew up hearing stories from my grandparents about them working in the fields, and witnessed their dedication firsthand, hence, Kisan Diwas holds a very special place in my heart. Farmers are the true backbone of our nation, tirelessly working from sunrise to sunset to put food on our plates, often braving harsh weather, financial struggles, and countless uncertainties.”
She further added, “Their resilience and hard work inspire me every day. This day is not just a celebration but also a reminder for all of us to recognize their invaluable contributions and advocate for their well-being. Let’s take a moment to truly honour their efforts, support their needs, and work towards a future where every farmer feels valued and empowered. After all, their strength is what sustains our lives.”
