On December 23, which is celebrated as Farmers’ Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi remembered Chaudhary Charan Singh, India’s fifth Prime Minister, on his birthday. Chaudhary Charan Singh was well-known for supporting farmers and helping people in rural areas. Even today, many people in India’s farming communities remember him fondly.
On social media, Prime Minister Modi praised Singh’s work, saying, “Chaudhary Charan Singh Ji spent his life helping farmers and improving life in rural India. His ideas and plans changed Indian farming and helped many families. On his birthday, I remember him and all he did.” The Prime Minister’s words were shared widely, especially by farmers, because they reminded everyone of Singh’s important part in creating India’s farming policies.
Champion of Farmers and Rural Development
Chaudhary Charan Singh, born in 1902 in Hapur district, Uttar Pradesh, is remembered as a very important leader in Indian politics. He strongly supported farmers and worked on many projects to help them have better lives. Singh’s plans, like reducing their debts and making sure land was shared fairly, were a big step toward making sure everyone could benefit from development.
When Singh was Prime Minister from 1979 to 1980, he worked hard to help rural areas and wanted farmers to be able to grow enough food for themselves. He made important choices, like stopping the zamindari system and giving money to small farmers. Because of his work, people always remember him as the “Champion of Indian Farmers.”
Prime Minister Modi’s tribute matches the government’s ongoing focus on improving rural areas and changing how farming works. Projects such as the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi and efforts to encourage natural farming show that Singh believed in helping farmers first.
Nationwide Celebrations Mark Kisan Diwas
Throughout the country, people celebrated Kisan Diwas by focusing on Singh’s important ideas. They held events like farmer training sessions, farming shows, and talks about eco-friendly farming to remember and respect his work.
In Uttar Pradesh, Singh’s home state, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath took part in a special event, showing the state’s support for Singh’s ideas. Schools and colleges held debates and essay contests to help students learn about the former Prime Minister’s achievements.
Farmers’ organizations used this opportunity to talk about current issues in farming, such as climate change, water shortage, and fair prices. They stressed the importance of looking at Singh’s policies again to deal with today’s farming problems.
A Legacy of Inspiration
Prime Minister Modi’s tribute highlighted Chaudhary Charan Singh’s lasting impact on India’s farming policies. As the country deals with new challenges in agriculture, Singh’s ideas about fair and sustainable farming still motivate both leaders and farmers.
At the end of his speech, PM Modi encouraged people to follow Singh’s values by backing programs that help farmers and rural areas. He said, “On Farmers’ Day, let us renew our promise to support our farmers, who are the foundation of our nation.”
As India honors Chaudhary Charan Singh’s memory, this day highlights the important part that farmers play in the country’s growth and success.
