Modi switches on DD Kisan

PM Narendra Modi stressed on increasing farm output with the use of technology and scientific advancements at the launch of India's first 24-hour agriculture channel -DD Kisan.
Evoking the memory of former PM Lal Bahadur Shastri who took India towards higher grain production and self-sustainability, Modi said there was need to make the sector vibrant and dynamic.
Pointing out that agriculture was a “neglected“ field and considered the last choice after job and business, the PM said it has to be made “vibrant“. “The cycle has turned anti-clockwise. I think it needs to be turned back once again,“ he said while lauding farmers for making India self reliant on foodgrains. Modi emphasized the need for innovative farming methods to increase productivity like growing trees instead of walls to separate individual farms.
