Addressing a Krishi programme in New Delhi, he said the initiatives will transform the lives of millions of farmers across India.

The PM Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana focuses on 100 districts selected based on crop yield, farming frequency, and access to loans or investments. Modi explained that the scheme integrates 36 government programmes to strengthen agriculture infrastructure and promote efficiency.

The Pulse Self-Reliance Mission, launched with a budget of Rs 11,440 crore, aims to increase pulse production and enhance protein availability for vegetarians. Modi emphasized that the mission also seeks to empower future generations through better nutrition and sustainable farming practices.

Highlighting reforms since 2014, PM Modi stressed the importance of supporting agriculture from seeds to market. He added that modernising farming is essential for India’s rapid development, ensuring farmers gain better returns while improving food security and nutritional outcomes for the population.

]]> Telangana will soon receive an additional supply of urea, according to Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao. He announced that around 21,000 tonnes of urea will reach the state within the next two days. The move aims to meet the increasing demand during the ongoing agricultural season.

The minister also said that the state has written to the central government seeking more allocation. He explained that Telangana has requested an additional 2.38 lakh tonnes of urea to ensure uninterrupted availability for farmers. This request was made considering the sharp rise in consumption across various districts.

At present, the state has a stock of nearly 30,000 tonnes of urea. On an average, farmers are purchasing between 9,000 to 11,000 tonnes every day. With the growing requirement, officials are closely monitoring the distribution network to avoid shortages. Farmers’ associations have welcomed the announcement but are urging swift delivery.

Minister Tummala assured that the government is committed to supporting farmers. He added that timely availability of fertilizers will help sustain crop yields and prevent distress in rural areas. The fresh stock expected this week is likely to ease immediate concerns, while additional allocations from the Centre remain under consideration.
