UN FAO Honors PM Modi With Top Agriculture Award

In a landmark recognition of India's agricultural progress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi received the Agricola Medal from the FAO, the organization's highest agricultural honour. This accolade celebrates the significant strides made in boosting farmer productivity and ensuring food security for over a billion people. Since assuming office, Modi has championed initiatives that have enhanced the quality and reach of Indian produce on world markets. Millets, once considered coarse grains, have gained international prominence thanks to focused policy support and global advocacy. The award not only elevates India's standing but also motivates millions of smallholder farmers to adopt sustainable practices.
