Empowering Bengal's Farmers: Mamata Banerjee's Pledge for Progress

West Bengal's Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee, reiterates her government's commitment to farmers with initiatives like the Krishakbandhu scheme, fair paddy pricing, and free machinery. Observing Krishak Divas annually, her administration aims to honor the farmers' contributions and support their well-being through various assistance measures.

West Bengal's Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee, reaffirmed her commitment to the state's farmers on Friday, highlighting several initiatives designed to bolster agricultural welfare.

Commemorating 'Krishak Divas' on March 14, Banerjee paid homage to the resilience of Bengal's farmers, particularly remembering the 14 who died in the 2007 anti-land acquisition movement in Nandigram. Through her post on X, she praised the relentless efforts of farmers and outlined her support through financial schemes and fair pricing policies.

Highlighting key measures such as the Krishakbandhu scheme, free agricultural machinery, and the Bengal Crop Insurance Project, launched in 2019, Banerjee assured continued governmental support to aid farmers in West Bengal.
