Hard work of farmers establishing UP as 'Economic Superpower' in country: CM Yogi

TIL Desk/National/Lucknow/ Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday said the hard work of farmers is establishing the state as an “economic superpower” in the country and highlighted that villages are now moving ahead with technology.

Referring to the nine years of the Narendra Modi dispensation, he also said in these years, the nation has seen farmers and labourers becoming the agenda of a government for the first time in history.

Inaugurating a campaign to link farmers with the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, the chief minister said that “a total of 2.63 crore lakh farmers” in the state have joined the central scheme and “Rs 55,800 crore has been transferred to the bank accounts of our farmers in the state under the scheme so far”.

“Despite this, we heard from some farmers that the money is not reaching them. In view of this, the process of Aadhaar authentication is being started on a large scale, so that 100 per cent eligible farmers can benefit from this scheme,” he said.
