He noted that the financial assistance was not merely a monetary benefit but reflected the government’s commitment to the dignity, hard work and prosperity of farmers.

“This amount is not merely financial assistance but a strong symbol of the government’s unwavering commitment to the hard work, dignity and prosperity of farmers," Yogi said.
