There has been a big improvement in the lives of farmers due to the policies of Yogi government. Steps like Krishi Chaupal, free minikit, subsidy on agricultural equipment, Kisan Pathshala and sugarcane price hike have increased both the income and technical knowledge of farmers.
Muzaffarnagar. The policies of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath have brought prosperity in the lives of Annadata farmers of the state. Farmers are no longer committing suicide, but are living a respectable life and contributing to the prosperity of their families and Uttar Pradesh. Farmers are getting similar facilities like fair price of crops, Kisan Samman Nidhi, PM Kusum Yojana, MSP, electricity, roads and water. This has made it easier to farm and transport crops to the market. More than 500 farmers expressed their views on these positive changes in the Krishi Chaupal organized in Yahiyapur village on Wednesday.
Vikas Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan increased communication
Through the Vikas Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan, the Chief Minister, Central and State Government Ministers and public representatives communicated directly with the farmers. More than 23 lakh farmers participated in the programs held in 14,170 villages of the state in 15 days. Farmer Biram Singh said that his farming improved after getting information like soil card, land reform, irrigation capacity and modern agricultural techniques.
Free minikit distribution for self-sufficiency of oilseeds and pulses.
Farmer Amrish Walia said that the government is providing free minikits to the farmers to make them self-reliant in oilseeds and pulses crops. Seeds are being given on subsidy for crops like wheat, barley, gram, pea, lentil, rapeseed, mustard, linseed etc. Due to this, seeds are easily available and productivity is also increasing. Farmers are now also taking steps towards poison-free farming.
Farming is being helped by grants on agricultural equipment.
Farmer Gangasharan said that farmers are now getting agricultural equipment useful in farming on subsidy. Yogi government has established more than 5000 agricultural machinery banks, from which lakhs of farmers are benefiting. The instruments are given to the farmers in a transparent manner through e-lottery in the districts.
Farmers learning new techniques from Kisan Pathshala
Farmer Vedpal explained the benefits of Kisan Pathshala. According to him, the technical capability of farmers is increasing here. Farmers are learning about new agricultural techniques, modern farming methods and solutions to problems. This is improving both production and productivity. Farmers are also getting information about the schemes of the Agriculture Department.
Sugarcane price increase is a big relief for farmers
Farmer Kanwar Singh said that before Diwali, the increase in sugarcane price by Rs 30 per quintal by Chief Minister Yogi was a big relief for the farmers. In the crushing season 2025-26, the price of early variety sugarcane was increased from Rs 370 to Rs 400 per quintal and the price of normal variety was increased from Rs 360 to Rs 390 per quintal. With this increase, farmers will get additional Rs 3000 crore. This honor shows the commitment of Yogi government to the farmers.
