“These schemes are designed for the upliftment of farmers by increasing productivity and ensuring economic stability,” he said.
With lower GST rates on farm equipment, PM Dhan Dhanya Krishi Yojana aims to reduce the financial burden and modernize farming practices.
Farmers in Dindori expressed their heartfelt gratitude for this initiative. Local farmer Ram Kishore commented,
“Dhan Dhanya Yojana is a game-changer for us. Lower GST rates make equipment more affordable, thereby increasing our productivity.”

The event underlined the government’s commitment towards agricultural self-reliance, especially pulses, and infrastructure development. Farmers appreciated the Prime Minister’s vision, emphasizing the potential of the schemes to enhance livelihoods in tribal areas.
The presence of many farmers along with public representatives and officials reflected the community’s unified support for these initiatives.
The GST festival not only celebrated these landmark projects, but also reinforced the government’s dedication to empowering India’s agricultural backbone, promising a brighter future for farmers across the country.
