National Farmers’ Day – December 23
National Farmers’ Day, celebrated annually on December 23, honors the contributions of farmers to India’s food security and rural economy. The 2024 theme, “Empowering ‘Annadatas’ for a Prosperous Nation,” highlights the importance of empowering farmers. India’s record food grain production of 332.2 million tonnes underscores farmers’ resilience, supported by initiatives like Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (income support), Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (crop insurance), and Pradhan Mantri Kisan Maandhan Yojana (retirement pensions). Farmers preserve agricultural heritage, contribute to biodiversity, and support sustainable practices. Advancing technology and continuous government support remain crucial for their future success.
