It is a great honour to serve the nation’s most prestigious department that is Agriculture. I pray God to give him all the necessary strength to manage this department successfully and help farmers to gain more from Agriculture. Kindly also bring suitable policy changes that provide succor to small and marginal farmers.
It is also time we withdraw land from such persons who are not actually tilling the land so that the same could be given to who are landless and interested in raising crops.
