Dhamtari, December 4, 2024 For a father, organizing his daughter’s wedding is both a cherished dream and a challenging responsibility. This is especially true for farmers, who often grapple with limited financial resources. However, the Krishak Unnati Yojana has emerged as a ray of hope for such families, easing their burdens and bringing smiles to their faces.
Such is the story of Lokesh Ram Sahu, a farmer from Bhathgaon village in Dhamtari district, whose daughter’s wedding preparations received a significant boost thanks to the Krishak Unnati Yojana. Lokesh, who owns 1.3 acres of land, sold 26 quintals and 80 kilograms of paddy at the government’s minimum support price. Along with the sale proceeds, he received a bonus of ₹25,000 under the Krishak Unnati Yojana, just in time for his daughter’s wedding.
Lokesh expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai, saying:
“The Krishak Unnati Yojana has truly brightened my daughter’s wedding. This bonus came at the perfect time, lifting a huge burden off my shoulders and adding joy to our celebrations. I thank our Chief Minister for taking such a farmer-friendly decision.”
Supporting Farmers, Strengthening Families
Under the Krishak Unnati Yojana, the state government provides a bonus of ₹19,257 per acre as input assistance to farmers for paddy sold at the support price. This additional payment is the highest in the country and reflects the government’s commitment to supporting farmers’ livelihoods.
Lokesh Ram Sahu’s experience showcases how this initiative is not just about agriculture; it also empowers farmers to meet their personal and social responsibilities. With the timely bonus, Lokesh was able to ensure that his daughter’s wedding was celebrated with grandeur, free from financial stress.
Krishak Unnati Yojana: A Game-Changer
The Krishak Unnati Yojana is part of Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai’s vision to strengthen the state’s agricultural sector and its economy. By ensuring fair prices and additional support for farmers, the scheme is creating a ripple effect, improving not only economic conditions but also the social well-being of farming families.
This initiative is a testament to the belief that agricultural prosperity is key to building a robust economy and achieving the dream of a developed state. For Lokesh and countless other farmers, it is a lifeline that bridges the gap between financial challenges and their aspirations.
