Farmers’ Protest: PM Narendra Modi Urges People To Read E-booklet Highlighting How Agro-Reforms Help Farmers
Mumbai: Amid the deadlock between the Centre and the protesting farmers, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday urged people to read and share the government-issued e-booklet extensively on how recent agrarian reforms help farmers.
The government has released e-booklets in English and Hindi highlighting the success stories of farmers benefiting from the reforms enacted in September.
“There is a lot of content, including graphics and booklets that elaborate on how the recent Agro-reforms help our farmers. It can be found on the NaMo App Volunteer Module’s Your Voice and Downloads sections. Read and share widely,” the prime minister tweeted.

Thousands of farmers, especially from Punjab and Haryana, have been protesting at Delhi borders against the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020; the Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act 2020.
To break the deadlock, at least five rounds of formal talks have been held between the three Union ministers and 40 farmer unions.
Unions, however, are demanding the withdrawal of central laws altogether.
