Asserting that accepting modern practises in the agriculture sector is imperative, he said in every aspect of life newness, modernisation is essential.”In India’s agriculture sector, modernisation is the need of the hour. It has been delayed and we have already lost a lot of period, ” the prime minister said in his 75 th bout of Mann Ki Baat.”In order to create new employment opportunities in the agriculture sector, to increase farmers’ income, it is equally important to adopt new alternatives, innovations together with traditional agriculture practices, ” he said.The country has watched this during the white revolution and bee farming is also developing as one such alternative, he said.The prime minister’s call for embracing modern rehearsals in agricultural products comes at a time when hundreds of farmers have been tenting at Delhi’s border points at Ghazipur, Singhu and Tikri since November last year demanding that the Centre repeal the three contentious raise laws.The government has maintained that these reform ordinances will improve farmers’ income by bringing investment, modern practices and allow them to sell their make anywhere across the country at best prices.During his radio broadcast, Modi too recalled that in March last year the society firstly heard about the Janata curfew.The Janata curfew was imposed on March 22 last year on the prime minister’s appeal.”From very early on, the people of India have put up a feisty fight against COVID-1 9, ” he asserted.Noting that around day last year, the question was whether there would be a vaccine for COVID-1 9 and by when would it be gone out, Modi said it was a matter of pride that the world’s largest vaccination drive is underway in India.Modi also said that India’s ‘Nari Shakti’ is exceeding in the sports field and lauded the recent sporting feats of cricketer Mithali Raj and shuttler P V Sindhu.On Mann Ki Baat completing 75 chapters, Modi said it seems like just yesterday when in 2014 “we began this journey” and thanked all the listeners.”During Mann Ki Baat, we have discussed a wide range of subjects. We all have learnt so much. Diverse topics have been covered, ” he said.Mann Ki Baat completes 75 occurrences at a time when India is looking forward to marking our ‘Amrut Mahotsav’, Modi said underlining the importance of the celebrations of 75 years of Independence.”The relinquishes of our enormous freedom fighters must inspire us to be considered our responsibilities as a citizen.
