Just like crops, growth cannot be rushed. As a farmer, you understand that nature has its own rhythm, and true growth happens through consistent nurturing and care. Every element, whether it’s the soil, agro solutions, seeds, or weather play a crucial role in shaping the future of your farm, and this process takes time.

In the same way, real progress in both farming and life demands patience. Success comes from trusting the process and letting your efforts bear fruit in their own time. Patience, persistence, and dedication are the building blocks of a plentiful harvest.

महिला किसान यूनियन की केंद्रीय कृषि एवं किसान कल्याण मंत्री नरेंद्र सिंह तोमर को चेतावनी

पंजाब की बदनामी की बजाए तोमर एमएसपी गारंटी कानून लाएँ : बीबी राजविंदर कौर राजू

कहा तोमर मोदी के किसानों की आय दोगुनी करने वाले जुम्ले को छुपाने की कर रहे हैं कोशिश

महिला किसान यूनियन ने जैविक खेती के लिए केंद्र से की ठोस नीति की मांग

चंडीगढ़ 27 अप्रैल (  ) : महिला किसान यूनियन ने केंद्रीय कृषि एवं किसान कल्याण मंत्री नरेंद्र सिंह तोमर से चेतावनी देते हुए कहा है कि वे पंजाब के किसानों को अनावश्यक खाद और रासायनिक कीटनाशकों का उपयोग करने के लिए बदनाम करना बंद करें ओर जैविक खेती की केवल सरकारी सलाह देने के बजाय वैकल्पिक व्यवस्था के रूप में किसानों द्वारा फसल विविधीकरण के इवज में उगाई जाने वाली ऐसी जैविक फसलों के लिए एमएसपी गारंटी अधिनियम लागू करें।

          आज यहां जारी एक बयान में महिला किसान यूनियन की अध्यक्ष बीबी राजविंदर कौर राजू ने कहा कि देश में हरित क्रांति लाने वाले पंजाब और अन्य राज्यों के प्रगतिशील किसानों पर इलज़ाम लगाने ओर नसीहते देने के बजाय केंद्र सरकार को खुद प्राकृतिक कृषि को लाभदायक बनाने के लिए बड़े कदम उठाने की जरूरत है।

          उन्होंने कहा कि प्रधान मंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी के 2022 तक किसानों की आय दोगुनी करने वाले जुम्ले को छुपाने की विफल कोशिश में केंद्रीय मंत्री सरकार की कमियों पर परदा डालने, जनता का ध्यान भटकाने, किसान आंदोलन का बदला लेंने और अंनदाता को बदनाम करने के लिए इस तरह के तर्कहीन प्रचार एवं प्रोपेगंडा का सहारा ले रहे हैं।

          महिला किसान नेता ने कहा कि हरित क्रांति खातिर ततकालीन सरकारों, कृषि विश्वविद्यालयों और कृषिविदों ने ही देश को आत्मनिर्भर बनाने के लिये किसानों को रासायनिक खेती के लिए प्रेरित करने के लिए जिम्मेदार थे और मोदी सरकार कारपोरेट के लिए उससे भी आगे निकल रही है। अब हर किसान प्राकृतिक खेती पर लौटना चाहता है लेकिन प्रति एकड़ फसल की आधी उपज निकलने के कारण सरकार की और से कोई वित्तीय सहायता, उपज का उचित मूल्य और पर्याप्त विपणन सुविधाएं नहीं मिलती हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि केंद्र की इस तरह की ढीली नीतियों के कारण देश में खेती के केवल 2% हिस्से पर ही प्राकृतिक खेती हो रही है।

          महिला नेता बीबी राजू ने कहा कि जैविक खेती को बढ़ावा देने के लिए देश के किसानों को सरकार की निंदनीय उपदेशों की जरूरत नहीं है लेकिन केंद्र को जैविक खेती की वैकल्पिक व्यवस्था और प्राकृतिक उत्पादों के लिए आय की गारंटी के लिए ठोस नीति बनानी चाहिए।

          महिला किसान यूनियन ने नरेंद्र तोमर को चेतावनी दी कि यदि उन्होंने विशेष रूप से पंजाब के किसानों के खिलाफ निंदनीय प्रचार बंद नहीं किया तो महिला किसानों द्वारा उनके पुतले फूंके जाएगे और पंजाब में उनके प्रवेश का कड़ा विरोध किया जाएगा।

Tomar must shun defaming Punjab instead pursue MSP guarantee law: Bibi Rajwinder Kaur Raju

Says Tomar trying to camouflage Modi's jumla of doubling farmers' income

Mahila Kisan Union demands solid policy from Center for organic farming

Chandigarh 27 April : Alarming a categorical warning to Union Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister Narendra Singh Tomar the Mahila Kisan Union has asked him to immediately stop defaming the progressive farmers of Punjab for using unnecessary fertilizers, chemicals and pesticides on crops and not to sermon them to adopt only organic farming without providing any central assistance.

            In a statement issued here on Wednesday, President of Mahila Kisan Union Bibi Rajwinder Kaur Raju said instead of blaming and admonishing the farmers of Punjab and other states who brought Green Revolution in the country, the Central Government itself should make natural farming profitable by taking broad base steps besides financial assistance.

            Advising the union minister to adopt right path for farmers' welfare, woman farmer leader said "instead of giving 'Sarkari' advice to experienced farmers to adopt organic farming as an alternative mechanism in lieu of crop diversification, centre should implement MSP Guarantee Act for such organic crops".

            She further added that in a failed attempt to camouflage the promised 'Jumla' propagated by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi for doubling farmers' income by 2022, the Union Minister was on a BJP mission to cover up the shortcomings of the government, divert public attention, avenge the farmers' Andolan and defame the 'Annadata' thereby resorting to irrational propaganda against the farmers.

            Reminding the Union Minister about historic Green Revolution, Bibi Raju said the then governments, protagonists,  agricultural universities and agri scientists were responsible for motivating the farmers for adopting chemical farming to make the country self-reliant for food grains, adding she said the Modi government was going beyond that for the sake of corporates and not providing any help to make agricultural a profitable occupation.

            "Now every farmer wants to return to natural farming but due to the half yield of the crop per acre, there was no financial support from the government, fair price of the natural produce and adequate marketing facilities", adding she said due to such unfavourable agri policies of the Centre, only 2% of the agricultural land in the country was under natural cultivation.

            Women leader Bibi Raju said the farmers of the country didn't need the reprehensible behaviour of the government to promote organic farming, but the Center should make a concrete policy for alternative system of organic farming and guarantee of income for natural products.

            The Mahila Kisan Union has warned Narendra Tomar that women farmers would burn his effigies and his entry into Punjab would be strongly opposed if he didn't stopped the reprehensible campaign, especially against the farmers of Punjab.
