Wishing "Kisan Diwas" to all farmers
Today, 23rd december which is celebrate in India as a national farmer's day.
I want to tell you something about farmers-
Agricultural work is the oldest and essential industry of mankind.
Even today the production of rice, wheat, almonds or any fruit is important for human life which not only benefits the producers, but the whole society.
Agriculture has been the mainstay of work in India for centuries. Therefore, it becomes very important to take care of the interests of the farmers here.
Even today, more than half of the population in the country is dependent on agriculture, and agriculture in India has seen many dimensions of development.
The Green Revolution in the 60s changed the landscape of agriculture in the entire country along with Punjab and Haryana. This not only led to the economic development of the country, but the need of the farmers was understood by every section, from the government to the common man.
In this sequence, to protect the respect and rights of farmers, the celebration of Kisan Diwas was also started.
This day is organized in the honor of former Prime Minister of the country - Chaudhary Charan Singh. He was the fifth Prime Minister of the country.
Although he held this post only from 28 July 1979 to 14 January 1980, but during this time he made many policies keeping in mind the interests of the farmers.
Many policies of Chaudhary Charan Singh not only protected the interests of the farmers but also inspired them to unite and fight with the landlords.
He had followed Jai Jawan-Jai Kisan in real form. He was a writer and used his writing skills to write books on farmers' problems and their solutions. And in this way he made a lot of efforts to improve the living standard of the farmers. It has been decided to celebrate the birth anniversary of this leader, who has always been popular among the common farmers of the country, as Farmer's Day.
Everyone knows that farmers are the backbone of the country, so it is very important to protect their interests. In this way, this day, celebrated in the honor of Charan Singh of farmer background, enhances the respect for farmers in the minds of Indians.
