@narendramodi What an extraordinary honor to celebrate such an exceptional individual. This brings immense joy to all who have had the privilege of working alongside him or following his remarkable legacy. @irri #BharatRatna #agriculture

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

It is a matter of immense joy that the Government of India is conferring the Bharat Ratna on Dr. MS Swaminathan Ji, in recognition of his monumental contributions to our nation in agriculture and farmers’ welfare. He played a pivotal role in helping India achieve self-reliance in agriculture during challenging times and made outstanding efforts towards modernizing Indian agriculture. We also recognise his invaluable work as an innovator and mentor and encouraging learning and research among several students. Dr. Swaminathan’s visionary leadership has not only transformed Indian agriculture but also ensured the nation’s food security and prosperity. He was someone I knew closely and l always valued his insights and inputs.

A more #food and #nutrition secure world depends on #crop diversity. Honored on #WFD to sign agreement with @irri for the @CropTrust to provide #forever funding for 136 000 rice varieties. Important because 3 billion people rely on rice every day, and the number will increase.
