Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar, while addressing the media, called the achievement a testament to the resilience and hard work of Indian farmers. “This milestone reflects our commitment to ensuring food security for a growing population,” Tomar said.
Farmers have adopted practices such as precision farming and the use of biofertilizers to mitigate climate risks. Additionally, states like Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh have implemented water conservation strategies to maintain high yields despite declining groundwater levels.
Economists have noted that the bumper crop is likely to stabilize domestic wheat prices and boost exports, benefiting India’s economy. However, they caution that long-term challenges like climate change and water scarcity must be addressed to sustain such achievements.
Environmentalists have called for a balance between agricultural expansion and ecosystem preservation, advocating for policies that promote sustainable farming practices.
