00:00In Uttar Pradesh, there are 89 Agricultural Sciences Centres, 5 Universities, 4 Agricultural Universities and 1 Veterinary University in Mathura.
00:16It is the work of all of them and their coordination.
00:20The Uttar Pradesh Agricultural Science Centre, the 89 Agricultural Sciences Centres in Uttar Pradesh,
00:25their monitoring work is also done by us.
00:27Agricultural education, agricultural development, training for farmers, extension, all this work is done by the Agricultural Science Centre.
00:35For the past 6 years, I have been the President and the President of the previous government.
00:41Today, I have come to Farkhawad after a long time.
00:44Our respected Bhudev Rajput ji, our respected brother.
00:48When I was the President last time, I came to Farkhawad for the first time.
00:52Today, I got to know you too.
00:54Our worker here, our sister is the President of the group, Rakho ji.
00:57She is also present here.
00:59Uttar Pradesh is a very advanced state in the field of agriculture.
01:02And how much worry does the Yogi Adityanath have about agriculture in Uttar Pradesh,
01:08this is the biggest proof of that.
01:10Surya Pratap Chahi ji, who was the Minister of Agriculture in the previous government,
01:16and he is the Minister of Agriculture in this government too.
01:18And I was also the President of the Agricultural Science Centre in the previous government,
01:20and I am still the President of the Agricultural Science Centre.
01:22The government is so serious about agriculture.
01:24This is an example of that.
01:26In Farkhawad, a potato was being harvested for a long time for the Agricultural Science Centre.
01:32Some of its money was also deposited by Cold Storage, about 1 crore rupees.
01:37What will be its process in the future?
01:39What benefit will the people of Farkhawad get from this?
01:41Farkhawad is the biggest harvester of potatoes here.
01:43Not just now, but since the time of the British, potatoes used to be tied up.
01:47And it is still tied up.
01:49And potatoes are of a very advanced type here.
01:51And potatoes of all varieties are grown here.
01:53When I came here last time, I had a conversation with the potato producers and farmers.
02:00Even in Lucknow, Ashok Katyar ji and Vaidikshit ji have come to me.
02:08And I say to everyone that the main source of potatoes,
02:12whether it is in the food processing industries,
02:16whether there are many potato producers,
02:18if the farmer goes to all of them,
02:20then the benefit of the potato crop,
02:22by adding value to it,
02:24will be benefited by the government.
02:26Will there be any focus of the government on the policies for the health center?
02:30Or will something like this come up through you?
02:33Look, the market was also established here for potatoes.
02:38For that, the facilities that should be provided to the potato farmers by the market department,
02:43all the facilities are being provided.
02:45And it has been seen for the past few years that the potato farmers are getting a good market price.
02:51And the potato farmers are happy.
02:53There is a little issue with the potato farmers here in Farkhawad.
02:57Farkhawad is famous for the potato farmers,
03:01but there are many other places for potatoes as well.
03:03Because of this, there should be a balance in the present situation.
03:07Potatoes are now being produced in Madhya Pradesh as well.
03:09Earlier, potatoes were not produced in Madhya Pradesh.
03:11Potatoes are now being produced in Gujarat.
03:13In Gujarat, the annual growth rate of potatoes is 10%.
03:16So, when potatoes used to go from here to there,
03:19if potatoes are being produced there as well,
03:21then I would like to request the farmers of Farkhawad
03:25to pay attention to other crops as well as potatoes.
03:29Do not limit yourself to potatoes.
03:31If the crop is very good,
03:35if the crop is very good,
03:37then the price of the crop cannot be met.
03:39So, if the potato farmer goes to other crops as well,
03:43if he does not limit himself to potato crops,
03:45then I think the farmers will benefit more.
03:47Despite the opposition to genetic seeds,
03:50we are still producing genetic seeds.
03:53What is the situation?
03:54Look, until there is no discrimination in agriculture,
03:58until there is no genetics,
04:00we should get as many crops as possible,
04:02be it crops or grains.
04:04Now, this green revolution,
04:06the fight for wheat and rice,
04:07is also a genetic revolution.
04:09We should never be afraid of genetics and genetic seeds.
04:14The government is being careless.
04:17The population is increasing.
04:19Today, the world's population has reached 800 crores.
04:21How will the stomach of a population of 800 crores be fed?
04:23For that, we need good seeds.
04:25For that, we need good soil.
04:27So, the local genes,
04:31which have been around for thousands of years,
04:34while fertilizing it,
04:36while producing it,
04:37if we use new genes and increase the yield,
04:41the government will try to do that.
04:44There are many brands of seeds here,
04:48which make fake seeds and deceive the farmers.
04:52Should there be a rule against them?
04:56What is the government thinking about this?
04:58Look, I am talking to the potato farmers,
05:00or other farmers,
05:01that whatever seeds are certified,
05:03and the certified shops,
05:05or certified centers,
05:07should buy from there.
05:08They should not buy from fake or non-fertilized shops.
05:13Your group has arrived.
05:15What gift would you like to give to the farmers?
05:18Because the farmers are doing agriculture every day for the potatoes.
05:21They are taking potatoes to the fields.
05:24Tell us something about this.
05:25I am also from Farbabad.
05:27I am from Shivram.
05:29It is a fact that Shivram went to Karno district in Kalantar.
05:32But I am originally from Farbabad.
05:35All my documents are from Farbabad.
05:38Farbabad is both my birthplace and my birthplace.
05:42So, I would like to tell the farmers of Farbabad
05:46that they should not take the path of protest or encirclement.
05:48The government should talk to them.
05:50The local people of the government,
05:52our respected brother,
05:54are farmers themselves.
05:56So, through these people,
05:58they should try to convey their issues to the government
06:00and make them understand.
06:01The farmers of Mahapanchayat have protested.
06:03Even after that, they are not facing any problem.
06:05Two days ago and yesterday,
06:07they are protesting for the potatoes.
06:11Look, the issue of the problems of the farmers
06:15or the issues of the farmers
06:17and all the issues related to the farmers,
06:19sometimes we, the farmers,
06:21become victims.
06:23I would like to tell them
06:25that they should take the path of conversation.
06:27They should keep the conversation open.
06:29Today, the central government
06:31and the government of the state,
06:33all the funds allocated for the farmers,
06:35you can see that the value of the dollar
06:37is increasing.
06:39So, we, the farmers,
06:41pay the same rate
06:43that was given to the farmers
06:45in 2013-2014.
06:47In spite of this,
06:49the government is bearing the brunt of this.
06:51The government wants the farmers
06:53to get fertilizers at the right rate,
06:55to get seeds, to grow crops.
06:57So that their costs are reduced
06:59and the cost of their production increases
07:01so that their income increases.
07:05I would like to request the farmers
07:07to sit down with the people
07:09and have a conversation.
07:11They should keep the conversation open.
07:13They should not be thinking
07:15that our issues should be accepted
07:17only through protest.
07:19This is not the case.
07:21Protesting is also a part
07:23of the democratic process.
07:25The government should act
07:27according to the democratic process.
