Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday appreciated the farmers across the country and pointed out that there was a record production of crops even during the Covid pandemic. Addressing his monthly radio programme "Mann Ki Baat" today, the Prime Minister said that the pandemic affected each and every sector but the agricultural sector produced record crops. "Our country faced such a big crisis that it affected every system of the country. The agricultural sector protected itself from this attack to a great extent. Not only did it keep itself safe, but the sector also progressed, moving forward," the Prime Minister said. "The farmers produced record output and this time the country went on to procure a record amount of crops. This time in many places farmers have got more than the minimum support price (MSP) for mustard," he said.More Related News
