New Delhi [India], April 27 (ANI): Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar today on Sunday said that Bharat is the world’s oldest civilisation, a peace-loving nation where inclusivity and freedom of expression and thought are our legacy, said an official release.
Addressing the gathering at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, the Vice-President observed that if one traverses history for thousands of years, one would find that in our civilisation, inclusivity and freedom of expression thrived, blossomed, and were respected.
“In present times, the quotient and gradient of expression and inclusivity are comparably the highest in the world. Look around, there is no other country like Bharat which can demonstrate inclusivity and freedom of expression,” he said.
He further added that as citizens of this great nation–the largest democracy, the oldest democracy, the most vibrant democracy–we need to be extremely watchful, mindful, and cognisant that freedom of expression and inclusivity must turn out to be our national assets.
Turning to the agriculture sector, the Vice-President underscored that “we must move from food security to farmer prosperity.”
The farmer, he said, has to be prosperous, and this evolution must originate from institutions like Tamil Nadu Agricultural University.
He further elaborated that farmers must step off the farmland and involve themselves in marketing their produce.
“Farmers should not just be a producer and forget about it. That would mean they will painstakingly, tirelessly raise a produce and will sell it at a time when it is right for the market, without holding it. It doesn’t give much financially,” he noted.
He called for empowering the farmers by generating awareness and by informing them that the government cooperative system is very robust.
“For the first time, we have the Cooperation Minister. Cooperatives find a place in our Constitution. Therefore, what we need are farmer-traders. We need farmer-entrepreneurs. Change that mindset, so that a farmer transforms himself from a producer to a value adder, starting some industry which is based on the least produce,” he said.
The Vice-President also emphasised that the farm produce market is gigantic, and when value is added to the farm produce, the industry will thrive.
Emphasising citizen participation, the Vice-President said that this is the right time for every citizen to fully become aware and also take advantage of the ecosystem of hope and possibility. He urged everyone to take a firm resolve that the nation first will be our motto, our unflinching commitment to the nation and ever guiding star.
“No interest can be higher than that of the Nation,” he stressed.
Highlighting the role of research and technology in agriculture, he stressed that the gap between lab and land must not merely be bridged–it must be a seamless connection.
“Lab and land must be together and for this, over 730 Krishi Vigyan Kendras must be vibrant centres of interaction with farmers, to educate the farmers,” he said.
He also called for connecting Krishi Vigyan Kendras and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, which in itself has over 150 institutions focusing on every aspect of Agronomy.
Applauding the government’s initiatives, the Vice-President noted that innovative schemes like PM Kisan Nidhi Samman are not freebies but are measures of doing justice to a sector that is our life-line.
“This is a direct transfer to the farmer,” he emphasized.
On the larger national vision, the Vice-President asserted, “attainment of Viksit Bharat has to be navigated carefully by institutions like Tamil Nadu Agricultural University. He called it a privilege to be at the University, which, he said, has made seminal contributions to India’s food security.”
He recalled, “India has traversed from food scarcity to food being in plenty, and Tamil Nadu Agricultural University has effected agrarian development and served the broader cause of rural transformation.”
Paying rich tributes, the Vice-President noted, “one of the towering giants of the agro-sector, one of the proudest sons of Bharat, Dr MS Swaminathan, was an alumnus of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University”.
He pointed out that Dr Swaminathan had the rare distinction of being the recipient of all four civilian awards, including the highest one–the Bharat Ratna.
Calling for impact-oriented innovation and research, he said that innovation and research initiatives must be evaluated as to what impact they have on the farmer.
“Are they having ground impact? Therefore, research has to be applied. Research must be based on need. Research must serve a cause that you identify,” he advised.
He added that research must be supported not only by the government at the Centre and the State but also by industry, trade, business, and commerce.
In his concluding remarks, the Vice-President observed that India–our Bharat–has always been a land of agriculture. Its heart pulsates in villages. It is the lifeline of employment and economy, and the spinal strength of the nation in every sense of the term. (ANI)
