Six farmers commit suicide in Odisha

Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) General Secretary MVS Nagireddy on Thursday strongly condemned the coalition government for its gross negligence and betrayal of farmers under the Annadatha Sukhibhava scheme.

During the meeting, CM Yadav raised various issues related to agriculture and rural development in the state. Following the discussion, several farmer-centric decisions were taken that are expected to provide major relief to farmers across the state, according to an official release.

In India's rapidly expanding dairy sector, a 63-year-old artificial insemination expert from Vaheval village in Gujarat is transforming the livelihoods of dairy farmers through scientific breeding practices. Deepak Patel's decades-long dedication to artificial insemination (AI) has significantly improved cattle productivity and strengthened the economic prospects of farmers in the Mahuva region.

In his letter, Odisha CM wrote, 'The incident cast an avoidable shadow on the image of Bengal, a land known for its culture, civility and respect for democratic institutions."

According to an official release, through this decision, CM has adopted a farmer-centric approach to safeguard rural farmers' interests by ensuring the transparent and accurate resolution of objections related to land measurements after promulgation, while also promoting Ease of Doing Business.
