Gyanendra Shukla on Budget 2025: A Game-Changer for Indian Agriculture

04 February 2025, New Delhi: The Union Budget 2025-26 presents a forward-looking approach to strengthening Indian agriculture, emphasizing self-reliance, sustainability, and rural empowerment. Dr. Gyanendra Shukla, MD and CEO of Rallis India Limited, extended his congratulations to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on presenting her eighth consecutive budget and highlighted the budget’s focus on agriculture, MSMEs, and exports as a strong foundation for long-term resilience.

One of the key highlights of the budget is the PM Dhan Dhanya Krishi Yojana, which aims to transform 100 agricultural districts by enhancing productivity, irrigation, storage, and credit access for 1.7 crore farmers. Additionally, the National Mission on High-Yielding Seeds is set to introduce over 100 climate-resilient varieties, significantly boosting yields and farmers’ incomes. The government’s push for Atmanirbharta (self-reliance) in edible oilseeds and the Mission for Cotton Productivity will further support farmers and reduce dependence on imports.

The budget also reinforces rural prosperity, crop diversification, and scientific innovation, demonstrating the government’s commitment to building a self-sufficient agricultural sector. Dr. Shukla emphasized that at Rallis India, the company remains dedicated to empowering farmers through sustainable crop protection and advanced farming solutions, aligning with the government’s vision for a more resilient and prosperous agriculture sector.
