Krishi Jagran Organizes Live Discussion With The Experts On Budget 2022

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has announced Union Budget 2022 today, on February 1. This year is her fourth Budget after 2019, 2020, and 2021. When the Finance Minister announces the budget each year, it is usually relatively simple to categorize it into one of the categories.

You describe the budget as reformist, bold, conservative, reactive, and so on. This year the budget was differently interpreted by citizens of the country. As the Budget is already announced, many citizens are happy as their expectations are met, whereas others are not due to their unfulfilled expectations.

Since Agriculture is one of the most important sectors it is important to know what the experts from the industry think about this year's budget.  In this regard, Krishi Jagran has organized a live session on post-budget discussion with the main focus of its influence on Agriculture as well as the lives of Farmers and community-associated.

The post-budget discussion was held on 1^st February 2022 at 3:00 PM on the virtual mode in face of the Covid-19 third wave.

In this session, we have listened to the Agri experts, scientists, and other delegates on their views and perspective of the highlights of the budget and how it will affect the Farmers' lives and Indian Agriculture.

M C Dominic, Founder & Editor-in-Chief, Krishi Jagran & Agriculture World Moderated the whole session emphasizing technology, agritech, and agri-entrepreneurs. As he believes in "Farmer First" the first opportunity to speak has been given to Sultan Singh, a Progressive Farmer from Haryana & Padma Shri Awardee. 

Sultan Singh, a Progressive Farmer who has done wonders in fish farming expresses his satisfaction with Union Budget 2022. Government schemes in the Agriculture sector especially in fisheries and Organic Farming are contributing a lot to Agriculture and its transformation, he added.
