The state government always wants to see happiness on the faces of farmer brothers. The government is continuously working for the betterment of farmer brothers. At present, the ‘developed Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan’ is going on in the entire country including Chhattisgarh from 29 May to 12 June 2025. The main objective of this campaign is to connect scientists directly to farmers and inform new agricultural techniques, government schemes and successful agricultural models. 100 groups of agricultural scientists are interacting with farmers in different areas of Chhattisgarh. These scientists are making farmers aware of organic farming, fertilizer and correct use of ‘Soil Health Card’. The Chief Minister said that the government aims to be technically capable of every farmer of Chhattisgarh and should increase their income.
Chief Minister Sai said that farming and farming in the state will be strengthened only when the farmer brothers will get the right price for their produce. At the time of assembly elections, the famous Prime Minister of the country, Narendra Modi, had given a guarantee that farmers will be given a two -year outstanding bonus if the government is formed in the state. Completing this, we transferred the amount in the accounts of farmers as soon as the government was formed. According to Modi ji’s guarantee, paddy is being purchased from farmers in Chhattisgarh at the rate of Rs 3,100 per quintal at the value of 21 quintals per acre. In the last kharif season, a new record of purchasing more than 149 lakh metric tonnes has been made in the state. The Chief Minister said that farmers are getting full price for their produce. New records of paddy purchase are being made, due to which the trend of farmers towards farming is increasing in the state. Along with promoting irrigation resources in the state, animal husbandry and fisheries are also being given priority.

Arrangements have also been made to collect milk to ensure that farmers do not have any problem in selling milk. The Chief Minister said that a processing plant is being set up in Dantewada district to promote the cultivation of millets (Kodo, Kutki and Ragi). This grain was previously considered to be the food of the poor, but now it is becoming popular even in the upper class due to being nourished.
