For India to become Viksit Bharat by 2047, agriculture must be nature-friendly, tech-driven, market-linked, inclusive, and rooted in our culture. I thank Krishi Jagran for this inspiring and empowering initiative. Platforms like MFOI are crucial for celebrating farmers and driving the future of sustainable agriculture.”
