PM Modi Inaugurates Farm Projects

Along with the milk plant, PM Modi also inaugurated several projects in agriculture, animal husbandry, fisheries and food processing sectors on Saturday.

Yadav said that the Modi government had consistently increased the minimum support price (MSP) for wheat and soybean in recent years, benefiting farmers in the state.

The state government had recently introduced a Bhavantar Bhugtan Yojana (price difference payment scheme) for soybean growers to ensure they receive fair prices for their produce. Officials explained that if traders in markets purchase soybean at rates lower than the MSP fixed by the Centre, the state government will pay farmers the difference. "The Bhavantar amount will be directly credited to farmers' bank accounts, bringing them cheer ahead of Dhanteras," Yadav said.
