On the occasion, he also laid the foundation stone for a Rs 11.38-crore worm breeding facility, community centres, and thread machine shades, as well as offered monetary help for silkworm housing to beneficiaries.

While addressing the crowd, Adityanath stated that the government's goal was to significantly raise farmer income and make Uttar Pradesh one of the top states in the country in terms of farmer prosperity and happiness.

He claims that silk worm raising combined with traditional farming might improve farmers' revenue by 2-2.5 times. He stated that ideas and plans are developed in response to development opportunities.

 

 

"Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state in the country and the leading producer of food grains. The agricultural acreage here is 12%, yet it supplies 20% of the country's food grain. The state has nine climate zones, and crops are grown in different seasons," he explained.

The chief minister stated that the country cannot develop unless its farmers prosper, and he proposed new methods such as natural farming and mulberry hedges around fields.

CM Yogi stated that PM Modi announced the PM Mitra Mega Textile Park in Hardoi 10 days ago, and that it will benefit everyone.
