Abstract

The article focuses on the Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan, a campaign aimed at modernizing Indian agriculture and enhancing farmer welfare through direct engagement. Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced that Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) will serve as nodal agencies in each district, with scientists mandated to spend significant time in the field to address farmers' needs. The initiative has involved extensive outreach, with teams visiting over 1.42 lakh villages and interacting with more than 1.34 crore farmers. Chouhan emphasized the importance of quality control in agricultural inputs and outlined plans for future consultations and targeted actions, including a focus on soybean and other crops, to ensure sustainable and profitable farming in India.
