Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday credited farmers hard work for the emergence of Uttar Pradesh as an economic superpower in the country and said in the last nine years, the nation had seen farmers and labourers becoming the agenda of a government for the first time.
Presiding over a programme for the payment of 14th installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana to the farmers, the chief minister said, A total of 2.63 crore farmers have been benefitted by the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana in the state and a sum of Rs 55,800 crore has been transferred to the bank accounts of the farmers in Uttar Pradesh so far.
While highlighting the importance of the event, Chief Minister Yogi asserted, This mega campaign is a grand campaign to pay respect to the farmers. All the organisations associated with this campaign will complete it on a large-scale. This will solve the complaints coming from the farmers and I hope that after June 10, no farmer of UP will complain of being denied the benefits of this scheme.
