Commenting on the announcement, Professor Ramesh Chand says, “I want to thank Mrs. and Mr. Dominic and Krishi Jagran. Together, they have launched a new and unique initiative, the Millionaire Farmer of India (MFOI). Till now, we used to look at agriculture and associate it with distress. However, the co-founders have highlighted the prosperity of Indian agriculture via their initiative. This is a paradigm shift; it will create a good impact. In my view, MFOI will be inspirational for farmers to look at agriculture as a profitable enterprise. In the coming future, I am hopeful that the youth of our nation will also be keen to work in the agricultural sector.”  

MFOI, the brainchild of Mr MC Dominic, Founder & Editor-in-Chief, Krishi Jagran is set to host the stalwarts of Indian agriculture from December 1-3, 2024, in the heart of New Delhi. It seeks to recognize the extraordinary achievements of Indian farmers who have not only doubled their incomes but have also evolved into millionaires through their efforts and innovative agricultural practices.

The progam will bring together some of the top corporates along with the richest and most progressive farmers under one roof to acknowledge and honor the real field heroes from India’s agriculture and allied sectors.
