National Farmers’ Day, popularly known as Kisan Diwas, is observed across the country every year on December 23 to recognize and honor the invaluable contributions of farmers to the nation’s economy and food security. The day is dedicated to acknowledging the hard work, resilience, and commitment of India’s farming community, which forms the backbone of rural livelihoods and national development.
The observance of Kisan Diwas marks the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh, a prominent leader and statesman who is widely regarded as a true champion of farmers’ rights. Throughout his political career, Chaudhary Charan Singh consistently advocated for the welfare of farmers, land reforms, and rural development. His policies and vision focused on empowering small and marginal farmers and ensuring social and economic justice in rural India.
On this occasion, various programs, seminars, awareness campaigns, and agricultural exhibitions are organized by government departments, educational institutions, and farmer organizations across the country. These events aim to highlight modern agricultural practices, sustainable farming methods, technological innovations, and government initiatives designed to support farmers and enhance agricultural productivity.
National Farmers’ Day also serves as an opportunity to reflect on the challenges faced by farmers, including climate change, market fluctuations, rising input costs, and access to credit. Policymakers and agricultural experts use the platform to emphasize the need for inclusive policies, better infrastructure, and continued investment in the agricultural sector to ensure long-term sustainability.
The day reaffirms the nation’s commitment to the welfare of farmers and underscores the importance of agriculture in achieving food security, economic stability, and rural prosperity. As India continues to modernize its agricultural sector, Kisan Diwas stands as a reminder of Chaudhary Charan Singh’s enduring legacy and the vital role farmers play in shaping the country’s future.
