विश्व बैंक द्वारा सराही गई झारखंड की #JOHAR परियोजना पर माननीय मुख्यमंत्री श्री @HemantSorenJMM जी के साथ विस्तारपूर्वक चर्चा हुई।

इस अभिनव पहल ने ग्रामीण महिलाओं की आत्मनिर्भरता की नई मिसाल पेश की है। अब इस परियोजना को और व्यापक रूप देने की दिशा में राज्य सरकार पूरी तैयारी के साथ आगे बढ़ रही है।

@WorldBankIndia के सहयोग से आने वाले वर्षों में हमारी झारखंड की बहनों को और अधिक अवसर, संसाधन और सशक्तिकरण का लाभ मिलेगा।

हमारा लक्ष्य स्पष्ट है झारखंड की हर महिला को सक्षम, सशक्त और समृद्ध बनाना।

Not a new video but it just landed in my in-box. I’m showing this with pride to my young grandson. And I hope this is how India will be perceived by children around the world. Not just as a growing economic power but as a growing force for positive change.

.@BillGates and I had a blast making Indian Roti together. I just got back from Bihar, India where I met wheat farmers whose yields have been increased thanks to new early sowing technologies and women from "Didi Ki Rasoi" canteens who shared their expertise in making Roti.

Some worry that agricultural automation will deepen inequality. But history tells us otherwise. Automation of ag jobs is a gradual process, which helps producers, including smallholders, allocate time for other activities, overcome labor shortages and create high-skilled jobs.

[Maximo Torero @MaximoTorero]

Countries must rethink agriculture to transform traditional farming activities into a competitive industry. Politics-driven ag subsidies should be repurposed toward ag R&D, biosecurity, infrastructure programs to create jobs and diversify income sources for rural populations.
