In a significant development for the agricultural sector of Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has conveyed his heartfelt gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a landmark decision made by the Union Cabinet. The decision entails the inclusion of the Jamrani Dam Multipurpose Project in Uttarakhand under the Prime Minister Agricultural Irrigation Scheme-Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Program. CM Yogi Adityanath hailed this move as a tremendous opportunity for the farmers of Uttar Pradesh, heralding a new era of agricultural prosperity.
Expanding Irrigation Horizons
The inclusion of the Jamrani Dam Multipurpose Project in this ambitious agricultural scheme is poised to bring about significant transformations. It is expected to facilitate irrigation on a vast expanse of 47,607 hectares of land in the Rampur and Bareilly districts of Uttar Pradesh. This expansion of irrigation capabilities promises to be a game-changer for farmers in the region, enabling them to cultivate their lands more effectively and boost agricultural productivity.
Farmer-Friendly Policies
CM Yogi Adityanath’s expression of gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi underscores the commitment of the Union Cabinet to farmer-friendly policies. The move to include the Jamrani Dam Multipurpose Project is a testament to the government’s dedication to improving the livelihoods of farmers in Uttar Pradesh and enhancing their access to essential resources for agricultural development.
Support for Nutrient-Based Subsidy Rates
In addition to the irrigation project, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also extended his appreciation for another vital decision made by the Union Cabinet. The Cabinet approved nutrient-based subsidy rates on phosphatic and potassic fertilizers for the Rabi season 2023-24. This move is set to benefit countless farmers, whom CM Yogi refers to as “Annadata,” highlighting the significance of these decisions in supporting the backbone of India’s economy.
A Farmer-Centric Approach
The approval of nutrient-based subsidy rates reflects the farmer-centric approach of the government, providing essential resources and support to ensure the prosperity of those who toil in the fields to feed the nation. CM Yogi’s words of gratitude echo the sentiments of farmers across the state who will directly benefit from these progressive decisions.
