The Millionaire Farmer of India Awards (MFOI) 2023 unfolded with an air of celebration as Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti, the Minister of State for Rural Development, graced the stage amidst a rousing welcome at IARI, Pusa Road. The event, a jubilant ode to the relentless spirit of farmers, unfolded in a unique tapestry of culture, appreciation, and global acknowledgment.
The third session of MFOI witnessed an enchanting performance by Savita Nath, a farmer whose decade-long dedication to studying pests found expression in a soulful folk song. Amidst the melody, Minister Niranjan Jyoti was presented with a vibrant bouquet by MC Dominic, the visionary Founder, and editor-in-chief of the event, who lauded her unwavering commitment to agriculture amid a demanding schedule.
Biju Alvin, representing the PMO office of Dubai, stepped into the limelight, signaling the event's global resonance. "Krishi Jagran is going global now. People in Dubai want to have a word with us," Mr. Dominic declared, acknowledging the expanding horizons of the agricultural narrative. Dr. CK Ashok Kumar was recognized for transplanting the MFOI concept to the international arenas of Malaysia and Japan.
In a delightful twist, Biju Alvin conveyed the admiration of Dubai's Prime Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, for the Millionaire Farmer of India concept. Alvin marveled at the uniqueness and novelty of the idea, echoing the sentiment that had captured the attention of global leadership.
Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti, touched by Savita Nath's folk song, crafted a poignant analogy. "Just as this folk tale depicts the love between a son and mother, the farmer is akin to a son of his motherland—how could he ever introduce harm to it?" Her eloquent expression struck a chord with the audience, establishing a deep connection between farmers and the sacred bond they share with their land.
Expressing gratitude for the purposeful discussion facilitated by Mr. and Mrs. Dominic, the Minister underscored the cultural reverence accorded to both agriculture and saints in the country. Drawing inspiration from Prime Minister Modi's vision, she highlighted the unity among the four integral communities—women, youth, farmers, and the poor—underscored by the absence of caste divisions.
Commending PM Modi's transformative policies since 2014, Minister Niranjan Jyoti emphasized the shift from importing essential grains to achieving self-sufficiency. The provision of free ration services and improved crop insurance policies were attributed to the unwavering efforts of farmers, marking a paradigm shift in their economic condition.
The Minister's advice to prioritize soil testing resonated with the audience, grounded in the wisdom that "Urea dries the land, while cow dung keeps the soil moist for a longer period." Her advocacy for sustainable practices and leaving fertile land for future generations echoed the growing awareness of environmental responsibility.
As the session concluded, the air was charged with a message of a sustainable future. The deserving Millionaire Farmers of India were honored, marking this gala as a harmonious celebration of India's agricultural spirit—an ode to resilience, innovation, and the symphony of the land.
