India- Land of Farmers

Farmers are the strength of the country. India rejoices Farmers Day in the remembrance of Chaudhary Charan Singh, the ex-Prime Minister. He was principally a farmer and his individual way of life was exceptionally plain.

Chaudhary Charan Singh was a lad of the soil and has done various deeds to enhance the scenario of Indian agriculture. His short continuance at the pinnacle has showcased a swing of agricultural reforms and policies introduced in India. Charan Singh’s farmer background assisted him to comprehend the actual constraints of the farmer and he contributed a lot to support them.

Chaudhary Charan Singh is attributed to invent and execute the well-known Zamindari Abolition Act. His ardent petition and compelling personality unified all the farmers against the landlords and moneylenders. He was even a very efficient author and expressed his feelings on farmers and their issues and remedies. Charan Singh died on 29 May 1987.

Kisan Divas is appreciated for his precious services for the farmers of our nation. The entire country rejoices Farmer's day.

Farming is a remarkable part of the economy in India, as it adds about 17% of the absolute GDP. It gives employment to over 60% of the population.

Farmers are an important part of the existence of our various societies because they provide food and fibre which gives us nutrition and cloth.

Farming is an industry that relies on the natural environment and its careful and responsible use every day.

Cultivation practices often provide natural biologically active filter mechanisms for water as well as soil vegetation stabilization.

Indian Farmer and farming communities provide an excellent environment to raise relations.

They offer opportunities for young and old alike to gain experiences in basic lifelong values, an appreciation for success, as well as the sorrow of life’s most challenging occurrences.
