Farmers’ income will double before 2022, says Amit Shah
Farmers’ income will double before 2022, says Amit Shah Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s aim to double farmers’ income by 2022 would be achieved before the targeted year, confirmed BJP president Amit Shah asserted on Saturday. “The kind of changes the Modi government has brought in agriculture sector, I am convinced there will be infrastructure to not only achieve the target of doubling farmers’ income but go beyond that before 2022,” said Amit Shah. In the past 10-15 years, innovative contributions from different quarters have started coming to the fore, Shah said. “The goal set by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not a political statement. I firmly believe as India completes 75 years of its independence in 2022, we will achieve a big success by doubling farmers’ income and raising agriculture’s contribution in the economy to 30 per cent,” Shah added. The Minimum Support Price (MSP) for kharif crops announced by the government will benefit the farmers. In some cases they are getting more than 1.5 times the cost of crop, he said. “NDA government is most liberal towards their needs and open to ideas to ensure that steps are taken to facilitate them in enhancing their contribution in the economy,” he added. -PTC News
