Acceptance speech of Ramandeep Singh Mann as Minister of Agricultural & Farmer Welfare

I thank Respected PM Vidyut Ji for reposing faith in me, and am extremely honored to be appointed as Minister of Agriculture and Farmer Welfare of Alt Sarkar. I will discharge my duties by keeping Sir Chotu Ram, a great Farmer Leader and thinker as my ideal ! I will strive to increase farmer incomes by revisiting PM Kisan Rs 6000 payments, by improving agri fundamentals, ensuring that farmers get a fair share of the price paid by consumers, reforming agri markets, ensuring that the farm to fork agri chain is strengthened. Till now, tenant farmers & share croppers were out of the purview of majority of the schemes.Govt will ensure that tenant farmers & share croppers, are included in the schemes meant for farmers i.e. subsidized crop loans, crop insurance, Direct Income Transfer Schemes.
