Government working to increase profitability of agriculture, focusing on people-centric development: President Murmu.
Feb 01, 2024

Addressing a joint session of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha in the new Parliament building, President Murmu emphasised the government's commitment to people-centric development.
She stated that the foundation of New India's impressive structure lies in the pillars of youth power, women, farmers, and the underprivileged.
President Murmu highlighted the allocation of Rs 2.80 lakh crore to farmers under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana and the three-fold increase in easy loans for farmers over the past decade.
 
She expressed that welfare schemes are not just facilities but have significantly improved people's lives.
The President mentioned the historic achievements of the country in the past year, with 'Make in India' and 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' becoming strengths. She praised the defense production surpassing the Rs 1 lakh crore mark.
 
This marked the first address by the President to the joint sitting of the two Houses in Parliament. She described the new Parliament building as a symbol of India's culture and civilization, built during the Amirt Kaal to make India a developed country by 2047.
The President acknowledged the historic significance of the past year and commended the strides made in poverty alleviation, resonating with the long-standing goal of 'Gareebi Hatao.' The suspension of opposition MPs, previously suspended for rule violations during the winter session, was revoked ahead of the budget session.
 
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is scheduled to present the interim budget on February 1, and the budget session of Parliament will continue until February 9.
This session is expected to be the last of the present Lok Sabha, with general elections likely to take place in April-May.
