India Ready To Supply Food Stock To World If WTO Allows: PM Modi

Mumbai: PM Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that during a virtual meeting with US President Joe Biden on Monday, he suggested supplying food stock to the world if the World Trade Organisation allows it.

PM Modi said that India can supply food stock if the World Trade Organisation (WTO) comes on board.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday inaugurated the hostel and education complex at “Shree Annapurna Dham” via video conferencing.

“Food stock in different parts of the world (in Ukraine) is depleting due to war. The world is now facing a new problem, the world food stock is getting depleted. I was talking to the US President, and he also raised this issue. I suggested that if WTO gives permission, India is ready to supply food stock to the world from tomorrow,” PM Narendra Modi said.

He said that India already has enough food stock for the people of the country but “it seems our farmers have made arrangements to feed the world”.

However, we have to work according to the laws of the world, so I don’t know when WTO will allow and we can supply food to the world, PM Modi said.

PM Narendra Modi after inaugurating the hostel and education complex of “Shri Annapurnadham Trust” in Adalaj said, “Development of Gujarat is necessary for the development of India.”

Further speaking on Annapurnadham Trust, Narendra Modi said, “In the field of education, nutrition and health, Gujarat has always contributed to the society. The Patidar community has also been a part of it.”

There will also be “Bhoomi Pujan” of “Hiramani Arogya Dham”. Speaking about Arogya Dham, the PM said, “The Central Government’s free dialysis facility in government hospitals will boost the objective of Arogya Dham. A large number of people will be able to get dialysis treatment at the same time in the Arogya Dham. There will be 24 hours blood supply. This Arogya Dham will serve mankind.”

PM Narendra Modi added, “Idol of Mother Annapurna Mata was stolen from Kashi decades ago and transported abroad. We brought back the idol of Mother Annapurna from Canada to Kashi a few months back. Dozens of such cultural symbols have been brought back from abroad in the last seven-eight years.”
