Under PM Modi's leadership, country moving towards Atmanirbhar Bharat: Haryana CM

Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini says animal husbandry is key to rural prosperity and a self-reliant India under PM Modi's leadership.

"Healthy animals, prosperous farmers and empowered villages are the pathway to Viksit Bharat and Viksit Haryana - Nayab Singh Saini"

Chandigarh, Feb 8

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is moving ahead at a rapid pace with the resolve of Atmanirbhar Bharat. At such a time, he said, the role of the animal husbandry sector becomes even more important.

"There are immense opportunities in milk production, value addition, export possibilities and start-up culture. The state government's goal is to make animal husbandry modern, profitable and sustainable. In this direction, animal health services are being taken to every village," CM Saini said.

The Chief Minister was addressing a gathering on the third day of the 41st state-level Livestock Exhibition held in Kurukshetra.

CM Saini inspected the exhibition, observed various breeds of animals and interacted with livestock farmers. He also watched the display of high-quality animal breeds on the catwalk set up at the fair.

The Chief Minister honoured livestock farmers who secured top positions in various categories by presenting awards.

On the occasion, CM Saini said the three-day livestock exhibition "is a living symbol of our rural culture, livestock traditions and our growing resolve towards Atmanirbhar Bharat. The sacred land of Kurukshetra, which gives the message of action, duty and balance, has today become a witness to the resolve of livestock development and rural prosperity".

He said that over the past three days, the exhibition had provided a common platform for livestock farmers, agriculturists, youth, scientists and entrepreneurs.

The Chief Minister said animal husbandry is not merely a source of income but the backbone of the rural economy.

"Haryana's identity has been shaped by its dedicated livestock farmers, advanced breeds and scientific thinking. Milk and milk products, bio-energy, organic manure and rural employment are based on animal husbandry. Healthy animals, prosperous farmers and empowered villages are the pathway to Viksit Bharat and Viksit Haryana," he added.

Good to see focus on animal husbandry. It's a major source of livelihood in rural Haryana and Punjab. Hope the modern techniques and start-up culture they mention actually reach the small farmers and aren't just for big players.

"Animal breeds on the catwalk" 😂 Only in Haryana! But seriously, showcasing high-quality breeds is important for improving stock. If we want to be Atmanirbhar in milk and dairy, we need the best genetics. Good initiative.

As an agri-economist, I appreciate the focus on value addition and exports. India has massive potential in dairy exports if we can meet international quality standards consistently. This sector can create so many jobs.

Respectfully, while the words are good, we hear this "backbone of rural economy" line often. The real test is stable procurement prices for milk and controlling fodder costs. Farmers need economic security, not just exhibitions.

Connecting it to the message of Kurukshetra from the Mahabharata is a nice touch. Dharma, duty, and action are indeed needed for rural development. Hope the resolve translates into ground-level support for every livestock farmer.
