Prayers at Trimbakeshwar are auspicious 🙏. A minister's blessings for farmers' prosperity is a positive sentiment. The focus on village development is the need of the hour. Let's hope for a good Rabi season and better prices for the produce.

Increasing production is one thing, but where is the focus on reducing input costs? Fertilizer, diesel, seeds - everything is so expensive. Income will only increase if the cost of farming comes down. Need concrete policies for that.

As someone working in rural development, holistic village schemes are crucial. Hope the 'VB-G RAM G' scheme addresses not just infrastructure but also digital literacy, market access, and sustainable practices. The intent seems good.

"May all be well, may all prosper" - these are beautiful wishes from the minister. The agricultural sector is the backbone of India. A bumper harvest prediction is excellent news. Jai Kisan! 🚜

Talking about Viksit Bharat is good, but development must be inclusive and reach the smallest farmer in the remotest village. Regular visits and dialogue with actual farming communities, not just temple visits and press meets, will give a clearer picture.
