Every year on December 23, National Farmer`s Day, also known as Kisan Diwas, is celebrated nationwide to acknowledge and pay tribute to farmers, who are considered the backbone of the country. This day is dedicated to honoring the birth anniversary of Choudhary Charan Singh, India`s fifth Prime Minister. States such as Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh, where agriculture is a significant occupation, actively observe National Farmer`s Day.
Farmers, working tirelessly year-round, contribute to the production of food to prevent starvation and hunger-related deaths. Despite their continuous efforts, many farmers face challenges in ensuring they have access to at least two meals a day. The annual celebration of Farmer`s Day aims to raise awareness about the invaluable contributions of farmers to society and recognize and reward their hard work.
