Raisen (Madhya Pradesh) [India], April 11 : 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.

The nation today is secure, yet true development is only possible with strong agriculture and higher farmer incomes," Shivraj Chouhan said.
