VP Dhankhar urges rural youth to become agri-entrepreneurs
Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar, while interacting with the students at the Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Solan, on Saturday stressed on use of Artificial Intelligence in agriculture. He remarked, 'Nowadays, when we talk about Artificial Intelligence, the younger generation is indeed fortunate because they can journey from Agriculture Intelligence to Artificial Intelligence.' He further added, 'You can travel from Agriculture Intelligence (AI) to Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence, Agriculture Intelligence is the medium that will bring revolutionary changes in the rural system. The life of the farmer will change.' Speaking on the roadmap to a developed India at the university, the Vice-President stated, 'The path to a developed India goes only one way — through the farmer's field. And that will happen only when you hold the farmer's hand.' He described farmers not only as annadata (providers of food) but also as bhagya vidhata — shapers of our destiny. Expressing concern over the export-oriented mindset, Dhankhar said, 'I find it very troubling when people say — 'this is export material, this is for export'. Why? Shouldn't we eat the best, wear the best?' He proudly pointed out how Indians are now leading major global institutions and lauded the rising participation of women in leadership roles. On the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, the Vice-President urged the Indian Council of Agricultural Research to revise the current ₹6,000 payout in line with inflation. He said, 'If support is given directly to the farmer… If the indirect financial support being given to the agriculture sector is routed directly to farmer families, then, based on my assessment, and that assessment comes after study — where they now get ₹6,000 annually, they will end up receiving ₹30,000 a year.' Highlighting the benefits of direct subsidies, he said, 'If the fertilizer subsidy is given directly to farmers, the farmer will decide — do I want to buy that fertilizer, or raise livestock and use cow dung manure instead? The farmer will think — should I do organic farming, natural farming? The farmer will make that decision himself.' Emphasizing rural entrepreneurship, the Vice-President said, 'Boys and girls from the farming community in rural areas must be trained to become entrepreneurs, agri-entrepreneurs. A force must be raised.' Citing the example of the United States, he noted that the average income of farming families there is higher than that of average households because government support goes directly to farmers. Underscoring the need for value addition, Dhankhar remarked, 'Today we must pay attention to the rural system. Vegetables come to the village from cities, fruits come from cities — how can we tolerate this in our country? That when tomatoes are in surplus, they are dumped on the streets?' He called for value addition and food processing to be done at the farmland level. The vice President also planted a sapling in memory of his mother Kesari Devi and also visited the exhibition on the campus by various farmer producers organizations and start ups. 'Success of Op Sindoor has given different identity to country' 'Success of Operation Sindoor has given a different identity to the country', said the Vice-President at Dr YS Parmar Horticulture and Forestry University Nauni in Solan district of Himachal Pradesh on Saturday. Talking about the valour of the Armed forces of the country, Dhankhar said, 'This is the first occasion when no one is asking for proof of this'.

Political parties must lower political temperatures; dialogue cannot be confrontation: Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar
New Delhi [India], June 7 (ANI): The Vice-President of India, Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday said, 'Political parties in the country will have to bring down the political temperature. The dialogue between political parties cannot be a confrontation -- the dialogue has to be soothing. Democracy is defined, friends, by dialogue and discourse.' Vice President's Secretariat said in an official statement, He further added, 'India is a thriving federal society where there has to be sync between the Centre and the States. Dialogue between leaders and political parties is vital -- absence of dialogue will not be good for our national mindset.' Interacting with industry leaders and entrepreneurs in Bengaluru today, he stated, 'Issues of national security, issues connected with our nationalism, and issues connected to our development must be viewed from a national prism, not a partisan one. I do not doubt the political sagacity of people across the spectrum -- they are available in all political parties.' Invoking the Vedantic principle of freedom of expression, the Vice-President remarked, 'Democratic values cannot be described without freedom of expression and debate. If someone attacks, frustrates or regulates your right to expression, then there is a deficiency in democracy.' Commenting on industrial trends, he made a sharp observation, 'People in industry, unlike politics, are satisfied by balance sheets. But greenfield projects are not emerging at the pace they should. Please think, converge in clusters to ensure equitable employment and growth.' Calling on the corporate sector to share their profits with the farm sector, Dhankhar said,'Time has come for corporates to share their profits with the farm sector. Your investment in research or farmland is not charity -- it is a gainful investment.' Speaking on farm-sector integration with industry, the Vice-President, drawing from his own background, said, 'I come from a farming community. The farm sector plays a critical role in the nation's growth trajectory. But at the moment, it is only producing agro-products -- it is not part of the marketing chain.' Calling for industry-farm convergence, he added, 'Industry must brainstorm to bring greater synergy with the farm sector. Farmers need to be hand-held; agripreneurs must emerge, but they cannot do so without support.' On the future of India's growth, Dhankhar underscored the role of research and innovation, 'We must engage in research of the highest order. Our research capacity will define Bharat's global standing. Our technological innovation will define how secure we are.' Touching upon strategic peace, he observed, 'Peace is fundamental to business and people's harmony. But peace is never bargained -- it comes from strength. The greatest peace is secured when we are ever prepared for war.' Highlighting the evolution of industry's role in national security, he noted, 'There was a time when industry only manufactured armoury. Now, it must lead in technology. Research is the spine of long-term growth.' Declaring that Bharat is on an unstoppable rise, the Vice-President stated, 'Bharat is no longer a country of potential -- it is a country on the rise. 'Viksit Bharat' is no longer our dream -- it is our objective. But we must take a quantum leap by increasing per capita income manyfold.' Urging a practical outlook, he added, 'We must juxtapose our economic status with our demographic size -- 1.4 billion people. On empirical estimates, there must be an eightfold increase in per capita income.' Governor of Karnataka, Thawarchand Gehlot, Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka, DK Shivakumar, MP Lahar Singh, Minister, Govt of Karnataka, MC Sudhakar, and other dignitaries were also present. (ANI)

"If the indirect financial support being given to the agriculture sector is routed directly to farmer families then, based on my assessment, and that assessment comes after study — where they now get Rs 6,000 annually, they will end up receiving Rs 30,000 a year," said Dhankhar, while addressing the students at Dr Y S Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry in Solan.
