LUCKNOW: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday claimed that the target of doubling the farmers’ income by 2022, set by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014, was ‘almost achieved’ in 2018 itself.
Speaking at the inauguration of ‘Kisan Mela’ organised by the Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, the CM noted that the task could be achieved as farmers embraced PM Modi’s vision of agricultural diversification.
Listing various schemes such as the Soil Health Card, Prime Minister Crop Insurance, Agricultural Irrigation, and Kisan Samman Nidhi launched by Modi government, Yogi said the task was achieved through robust integration of scientific research and innovation. Insisting that suicide by farmers was one of the most debated issues in parliament during previous governments, Yogi said it was no more the case.
