किसान कल्याण के मामले में केवल देश की खाद्य सुरक्षा सुनिश्चित करना ही नहीं, बल्कि जनता को पोषणयुक्त आहार देना और यह उपलब्ध कराने वाले किसानों की आजीविका बेहतर बनाना, उनकी आय बढ़ाना भी है।
- माननीय केंद्रीय मंत्री श्री @ChouhanShivraj जी
देशभर के किसानों के हितों की रक्षा के साथ ही उनकी आय में बढ़ोतरी के लिए हम कोई कोर-कसर नहीं छोड़ रहे हैं। इसी दिशा में हमारी सरकार ने 2027-28 के मार्केटिंग सीजन के लिए रबी फसलों के न्यूनतम समर्थन मूल्य यानि एमएसपी में वृद्धि को मंजूरी दी है। इससे देश के करोड़ों किसान भाई-बहनों को उनकी उपज का लाभकारी मूल्य मिलना सुनिश्चित होगा।
