Empowering Farmers, Sustainable Production and Resilient Agri-Economy – Imperative in our Journey to Viksit Bharat

“The budget proposals showcase a comprehensive strategy to strengthen India’s agricultural sector, positioning it as a key driver in our journey towards Viksit Bharat. By addressing critical growth levers such as high-yielding, climate-resilient seeds, boosting cotton productivity, and achieving self-sufficiency in pulses, the budget lays a robust foundation for a resilient agri-economy.

The enhanced loan limit under the Modified Interest Subvention Scheme—from ₹3 lakh to ₹5 lakh—for Kisan Credit Card loans will provide vital financial support to small fisheries and dairy farmers, empowering them to scale operations. India’s position as the second-largest global producer of fish and aquaculture is further bolstered by the reduction in basic customs duty on a key input material for feed, strengthening competitiveness and sustainability in the sector.

The budget’s strategic push for self-reliance in pulses and edible oils, coupled with the new integrated program for fruits and vegetables, ensures both nutritional security and agricultural sustainability. With targeted initiatives like crop diversification and sustainable marine sector development, these measures not only enhance productivity but also reinforce the central role of farmers in driving India’s growth story.”
