Gujarat Visit
Union Home and Cooperation Minister Shri Amit Shah’s two-day visit to Gujarat starts from 26 September, 2022 where he participated in a host of programmes including a ‘Kisan Sammelan’ in Ahmedabad. Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel was also present on the occasion.
Addressing the Kisan Sammelan in Ahmedabad, the Union Home Minister said since many years 164 villages of this region have been deprived of a complete irrigation system, but today, under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the Government of Gujarat has included these villages of Fatewadi, Kharicat and Nalkantha region under ‘Narmada Command Area’ to eliminate the problems in irrigation.
He said the previous governments had stopped the Narmada scheme in 1964 based on one or another excuse, but when Shri Narendra Modi became the Chief Minister of Gujarat, he first worked as the Bhagirath of Gujarat to implement the Narmada scheme.
Adopt Natural Farming
Shri Shah said that the Prime Minister has implemented many schemes to double the income of farmers in the last eight years. Agricultural insurance has been made scientific, attractive and easier for the common people so they can use it. Every year, PM Shri Narendra Modi has made arrangements to directly deposit Rs.6,000 in the bank accounts of farmers. These steps have ensured the economic development of farmers in the country.
Shri Shah said more than three lakh farmers in Gujarat have adopted natural farming during last some years. He also requested all the farmers to adopt natural farming in the state.
