Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, will visit multiple locations in Punjab on Thursday, 27 November, to review rural development initiatives and interact with farming communities. His day-long programme includes meetings in Moga and Jalandhar districts, focusing on agriculture practices, MNREGA implementation, and post-flood relief measures.

The visit will begin at the Ransingh Kalan village in Moga, where the Union Minister will interact with farmers and villagers. Ransingh Kalan has gained recognition for its sustained efforts in eco-friendly farming. For the last six years, farmers in the village have not engaged in stubble burning. Instead, they have managed crop residue through scientific methods, which has led to increased soil fertility and a reduction of nearly 30% in the use of chemical fertilisers. The Minister is expected to discuss these practices with the community and understand their outcomes.
