Presentingthe interim Union Budget for FY24-25 on Thursday, 1 February, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that 'gareeb, mahila, yuva, and annadata' (poor, women, youth, and farmers) are the core focus groups of the Narendra Modi government's economic policies.

"The needs of farmers, their aspirations, and their welfare are our highest priority. The country progresses, when they progress. All four require and receive government support in their quest to better their lives. Their empowerment and well-being will drive the country forward," Sitharaman said.

Sitharaman told the Lower House that crop insurance has been given to four crore farmers under the PM Fasal Bima Yojana. "This assists the annadata in producing food for the country and the world," she said.

Stressing on the need for modernisation, Sitharaman said that the Electronic National Agriculture Market has integrated 1361 mandis, and is providing services to 1.8 crore farmers with a trading volume of Rs 3 lakh crore.

"Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana has benefitted 38 lakh farmers and generated 10 lakh employment. Pradhan Mantri Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises Yojana has assisted 2.4 lakh SHGs and sixty thousand individuals with credit linkages," she said.
