 Mumbai, dt. 01: Farmers are the glory of Maharashtra and will not take a decision that will hurt their interests. Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said here today that the state government is making efforts to increase this green splendor of the state.
 The Agriculture Revitalization Campaign implemented by the Department of Agriculture came to an end. Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar had participated in this from Nashik through Doordrishya system. Revenue Minister Balasaheb Thorat, Agriculture Minister Dadaji Bhuse, Horticulture Minister Sandipan Bhumare, Minister of State for Agriculture Dr. Vishwajeet Kadam, Minister of State for Horticulture Ms. Aditi Tatkare were present at the Sahyadri Guest House.
            On the occasion of Agriculture Day, a wreath was offered to the statue of former Chief Minister Vasantrao Naik by the Chief Minister and other dignitaries. While congratulating the farmers on the occasion of Agriculture Day, the Chief Minister lauded the work done by the farmers and doctors during the Corona period and praised them for being both food givers and life givers.
            The Chief Minister said that the farmer king is the glory of the state and the work of preserving it is being done through the state government. The Chief Minister said that the state government is working to give strength to Baliraja who is taking bold steps in the uncertainty in the agricultural business.
            Droughts, floods, hailstorms and corona hit the state, but the farmers did not waver. "We are working with the government to fully support the farmers at a time when crops like gold are being destroyed by natural calamities," he said.

  When our government came, it started its work by giving debt relief to the farmers. The state has been facing the Koran crisis for a year and a half. However, the contribution that farmers have made to the economy during this period is unforgettable. For this, the state government started a scheme called Vikel Te Pikel. What the farmer grows should be sold. The Chief Minister said that it is our role to get a guaranteed price, not a guaranteed price.
  While carrying on the tradition of Vasantrao Naik, the pioneer of green revolution, there will not be a single incident in the state where the interests of the farmers will be harmed. Having said that, farmers should be pragmatic. Experiments should be kept to a limited extent. The Chief Minister said that joint efforts would be made to strengthen those efforts.
