“Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s agricultural budget reflects a commendable vision for the future, promoting sustainability. Giving importance to adding value, increasing farmer income, and making more job opportunities is a positive change in farming. The focus on the National Mission on Natural Farming, supporting eco-friendly practices and using nano fertilisers, is a good step towards caring for the environment. The decision to cut down fertilizer subsidies aligns with an ethos of resource efficiency. This budget lays a solid groundwork for a resilient and eco-conscious agricultural sector, a prospect that deserves applause.”
