During his 77th session of ‘Mann Ki Baat’, Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to farmers for their hard work and producing record production even as the country is hit by a pandemic.

“A tribute to the hardworking farmers of India, who have played a key role in feeding the nation during these times of Covid-19. The farmers have produced record production even in the middle of a pandemic. At many places, farmers have got more price than the MSP for mustard. It is only because of the record food production that our country is able to provide support to every citizen. Free ration is being provided to 80 crore poor people. The farmers of our country are doing wonders in many areas by taking advantage of the new arrangements,” said PM Modi.
