Farmers to benefit from reforms: PM Modi hails agricultural bill

Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the passage of three farm sector bills in Lok Sabha on Thursday describing these proposed legislations as historic. He asserted that they will rid farmers and the farm sector of middlemen and other bottlenecks. He also assured the farming community that minimum support price (MSP) and government procurement of their produce will continue along with a lot of other options for them.

"These agriculture reforms will provide new avenues to farmers to sell their produce which will increase their profits. Agriculture sector will benefit from modern technology and our farmers will also be empowered," PM Modi said in a series of tweets.
