The term Birsa Kisan will instill a sense of pride in the farmers.Jharkhandis the land of Birsa and several other warriors who laid down their lives for their community and for safeguarding tribal rights and Resources and they played a key role in Indias freedom struggle. But much before the freedom struggle began, our forefathers were already struggling for the cause of our jal, jungle, jameen (land, forest and water). On the other hand, you (farmers) are the ones who feed us and hence, my government has decided to recognize you as Birsa Kisans to provide you with a distinct identity.
