Kisan Diwas 2022

Every year on December 23, India observes Kisan Diwas (National Farmers Day) as a way to honor and appreciate its farmers.

The date has been chosen as it also marks the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Choudhary Charan Singh, a renowned farmer's leader whose efforts resulted in the creation of various welfare schemes to improve the lives of Indian farmers.

Singh played a crucial role in the Indian agriculture industry while serving as the 5th Prime Minister of India from July 1979 to January 1980. He created and implemented numerous farmer's bills, following the motto of the late Lal Bahadur Shashtri, India's second prime minister.
