He said, “To make life easier for the villagers, we launched a campaign to guarantee basic facilities in every village. Just two-three days ago, the Cabinet has approved the continuation of ‘PM Crop Insurance Scheme’ for one more year. The price of DAP is increasing in the world, but we decided that we will not let the burden on the farmer’s head and have kept the price of DAP stable by increasing the subsidy.
He said, “Apart from agriculture, many people work in different types of traditional arts and skills in our village. They have made a big contribution to the rural economy and local economy, but earlier they too were neglected. Now we are running PM Vishwakarma Yojana for them. This scheme is giving an opportunity to lakhs of Vishwakarma associates of the country to move forward.”

Regarding the problems of backward and Dalit society, PM Modi said, “Earlier governments did not pay attention to the needs of SC-ST-OBC. Migration from villages continued, poverty continued to increase, the gap between village and city continued to increase. Modi worships those whom no one asked about. Areas which were deprived of development for decades are now getting equal rights.”
Citing an SBI report, the Prime Minister said, “Just yesterday the State Bank of India report came, according to which rural poverty in India was about 26 percent in 2012. Whereas rural poverty in India has reduced to less than 5 percent in 2024.” “The intentions, policies and decisions of our government are filling rural India with new energy,” he said.
