PM Narendra Modi's recent focus on PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi aimed to support farmers. The upcoming Union budget may lean towards populism, highlighting the exclusion of tenant farmers in schemes like PM-Kisan. Challenges such as irrigation and labour shortages limit productivity, emphasizing the need for sustainable practices. Interventions like skill development and eco-friendly farming are crucial for small farmers. Strengthening rural infrastructure and promoting cooperative farming models can empower farmers for inclusive growth.
