Prime Minister calls upon farmers to raise level of pulses production in the country
Invoking former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri’s call “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan,” Narendra Modi asked every farmer to try and grow pulses on a part of his land.
He also mentioned steps being taken by the Union Government for the pulses sector.
He said pulses were an important part of the diet of the common man.
The Prime Minister was speaking after laying the Foundation Stone of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute today at Barhi in Jharkhand.
Modi also said that the need of the hour was a second green revolution, without any delay, in eastern India.
He said that the Union Government was therefore committed to the development of this region.
The Prime Minister further said that animal husbandry and fisheries were equally important for the agriculture sector.
He further added that the Government has decided to pay special attention to the dairy sector in Jharkhand.
