FollowPrime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation on Friday before starting his three-day visit to poll-bound Uttar Pradesh to inaugurate and launch infrastructure projects worth more than Rs 6,000 crore. In a significant step, Prime Minister Modi said that the administration has decided to remove all three agriculture regulations, a stumbling block for over a year. He went on to say that the three laws were for the benefit of farmers but that despite best efforts, the government couldn't convince a portion of farmers. The three agricultural laws were designed to empower farmers, tiny farmers. PM Modi stated that they would take constitutional measures to remove these agriculture regulations during the upcoming Parliament session.
Many steps, he claimed, had been made to guarantee that farmers were compensated fairly for their efforts. The government has bolstered the rural infrastructure sector, enhanced MSPs, and established record government procurement centres.

Our government has been working on that path to make the lives of people easy, he added.
Modi said when he became prime minister in 2014, the government prioritised farmers' welfare and development. He said he had witnessed struggles for farmers very closely, which is why Krishi Vikas yojana was given so much importance.
