Chandigarh, March 15, 2025 – Haryana Agriculture Minister Shyam Singh Rana announced that the state government has launched several welfare schemes to support farmers.

Additionally, the government is also providing subsidies on seeds, fertilizers, and agricultural equipment.
Agriculture Minister Familiar with Farmers’ Issues
Shyam Singh Rana stated that after assuming the position of Agriculture Minister, his focus has always been on farmers’ welfare. He highlighted that since he comes from a farming background, he understands the challenges faced by farmers at a personal level. This experience helps him implement effective policies for farmers’ benefit.
Immediate Order for Mustard Procurement
Rana shared that the traders of Radaur Grain Market had requested the early procurement of mustard crops. Farmers expressed concern that any delay in procurement could result in significant losses. Rana raised this demand with Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, who acknowledged its validity and immediately ordered the procurement of mustard crops to begin from March 15 at the grain market.
Central and State Governments Committed to Farmers’ Welfare
Rana emphasized that both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini are deeply concerned about farmers’ issues. He stated that the government’s goal is to ensure that the benefits of public welfare schemes reach farmers and all other sections of society. He also highlighted that under the leadership of Nayab Singh Saini, Haryana is leading other states in terms of overall development.
‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ Policy in Action
Rana affirmed that the Haryana government is drafting development plans that cater to the interests of all sections of society. “We are working on the policy of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas’ (Together with all, development for all, trust of all). With this approach, new schemes and facilities are being introduced for farmers,” he said.
