PM Modi to inaugurate 1.25 lakh PM Kissan Samriddhi Kendras, to launch Urea Gold on July 27 to boost farmers’ prosperity: Sarabjit Singh Johal

JAMMU July 25 : In a groundbreaking development aimed at empowering farmers across the nation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will dedicate 1.25 lakh PM Kissan Samriddhi Kendras (PMKSKs) to the country. Additionally, the Prime Minister will also launch Urea Gold – Sulphur Coated Urea during his visit to Rajasthan on July 27.

This was stated by Sarabjit Singh Johal, President Kissan Morcha BJP J&K and DDC Member Ramgarh, while addressing a press conference at party headquarters in Jammu.

Highlighting the significance of PMKSKs, Johal emphasized that these centres are being established as comprehensive solutions for all farmers’ needs. From providing information on agri-inputs such as fertilizers, seeds, and implements, to offering testing facilities for soil, seeds, and fertilizers, PMKSKs are envisioned to play a pivotal role in supporting farmers across the country. Furthermore, the centres will disseminate vital information regarding various government schemes,       serving as a reliable support system for farmers, he said.

To further enhance the capabilities of the agricultural sector, Johal announced that the farmers will ensure regular capacity building of fertilizer retailers at block/district level outlets. This initiative aims to equip retailers with the necessary knowledge and skills to efficiently serve farmers, contributing towards the overall prosperity of the agricultural community, he said.

The senior BJP leader said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also going to launch Urea Gold – a pioneering variety of Urea coated with Sulphur. He said this innovation aims to address sulphur deficiencies in the soil, leading to improved crop quality and enhanced nitrogen use efficiency in plants. Urea Gold is not only more economical but also more efficient than neem-coated urea, ultimately reducing the consumption of fertilizers, he added.

Johal urged the farmers to actively participate in the program on July 27 and avail the benefit of central-sponsored schemes to enhance their agricultural practices and improve their livelihoods.

“The dedication of 1.25 lakh PM Kisan Samriddhi Kendras, along with the launch of Urea Gold – Sulphur Coated Urea, marks a significant milestone in the efforts to empower and uplift farmers in the country. The government’s commitment to the agricultural sector and the well-being of farmers is evident through these initiatives, which aim to provide comprehensive support and address key challenges faced by the farming community,” he added.

Rakesh Pant, General Secretary, BJP Kissan Morcha, J&K, was also present in the press conference.
