Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday assured no shortage of funds and resources to farmers.

Union Ministers Rajnath Singh and Shivraj Singh Chouhan inaugurated the three-day Unnat Krishi Mahotsav in Madhya Pradesh's Raisen.

Addressing the gathering, Singh said, "There's a lot to be done for villages and agriculture, and I assure you that our government is fully committed to the welfare of farmers. There will be no shortage of funds or resources. Our government has always worked to ensure that every farmer receives support."

"I have been in public life for many years, entrusted with many responsibilities, including serving as Agriculture Minister. The farmer within me has never left. Even today, as Defence Minister, I can say with conviction that my commitment to farmers remains unchanged," he added.

Agriculture Minister and former Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, claiming "strong agriculture and higher farmer incomes."

"Under PM Modi's leadership, the vision is to build a proud, prosperous, self-reliant and developed India. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has made it clear: India will not provoke anyone, but if provoked, it will not spare them. The nation today is secure, yet true development is only possible with strong agriculture and higher farmer incomes," Shivraj Chouhan said.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, a three-day 'Unnat Krishi Mahotsav 2026: Exhibition and Training' is being held in Raisen.

Between Hangers 1 and 2, a total of 300 stalls are being featured. Hanger 3 has been prepared as the Inaugural and Cultural Hall.

Promises are easy to make before elections. My father is a farmer in Punjab and still struggles with debt and MSP issues. We need action, not just festivals and speeches. The focus should be on sustainable income, not just events.

The emphasis on organic farming and agri-startups is the right direction for the future. Jai Kisan! 🇮🇳 Hope the training reaches small farmers in remote areas too.

Strong words from Rajnath Singh ji. It's reassuring to hear a Defence Minister say the farmer in him is still alive. A secure nation needs a secure farmer first. Good initiative.
