Nearly Rs 12,000 crore deposited in accounts of more than 2 crore farmers in UP: PM Modi

Chitrakoot (Uttar Pradesh): Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid foundation stone of Bundelkhand Expressway in Chitrakoot on February 29. PM Modi also launched Farmers Producer Organisations (FPOs) all over the country. Addressing the public gathering, PM said, “Nearly Rs 12,000 crore has been deposited in the accounts of more than 2 crore farmer families of UP, including Chitrakoot. You can imagine, Rs 50,000 crores in just one year (all over India), that too directly in the bank accounts, without middlemen and discrimination.” The 296-kilometre long expressway will provide a four-lane access-controlled route in UP.
