Kapil Mishra inaugurates ‘Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan’ in Delhi, scheme to facilitate direct interaction between farmers and scientists

Delhi Minister Kapil Mishra launches Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan to empower farmers through direct interaction with scientists.

Delhi Development Minister Kapil Mishra on Thursday inaugurated ‘Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan’, a Central government scheme aimed at promoting direct interaction between farmers and agricultural scientists, at Dariyapur village in north Delhi.

“Even I was unaware that Delhi had an agriculture Ministry, but now times have changed. Our government is determined to give Delhi’s rural areas their rightful identity. There are farmers in Delhi, there is agriculture, and now an empowered agriculture Ministry is working actively,” Mr. Mishra said.

The Minister said that under the campaign, special dialogue camps will be organised at 50 locations across Delhi, where scientists and farmers will engage in direct interaction. “Scientists will not only share information about modern agricultural techniques but also document the experiences and innovations of the farmers. This will benefit farmers and ensure their contributions are reflected in future agricultural policies,” he said.

Mr. Mishra also issued a stern warning to those involved in black marketing of fertilizers. “Stop the black marketing of fertilizers immediately or the government will not hesitate to take strict legal action. Compromising farmers’ rights will not be tolerated,” he said.
