Prime Minister Narendra Modi has drawn attention to an article written by Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, sharing its discussion of agricultural change and farmers’ welfare.

Chouhan’s article places research and technology at the heart of improving Indian agriculture and farmers’ lives. It links nutrition security with greater attention to high-value crops, farming that can withstand climate pressures, careful use of resources and stronger routes to markets.

The Prime Minister’s Office summarised the article in a post on X.

The post highlighted Chouhan’s argument that scientific research and technological change are essential to the transformation of agriculture. It also drew attention to the relationship between improvements in farming and better livelihoods for the people who cultivate the land.

Nutrition security was another central theme. The summary pointed to high-value crops, resilience to climate challenges, efficient resource use and better market access as areas requiring attention, and encouraged readers to explore the minister’s article.
