Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu: PM Narendra Modi says, "Natural farming is a subject very close to my heart. I extend best wishes to all farmers of Tamil Nadu for organising the wonderful South India Natural Farming Summit. I was watching the exhibition. I received the opportunity to speak to several farmers. Someone had pursued Mechanical Engineering, PhD and was then doing farming, someone was doing farming by leaving NASA, they are preparing and training several youth. I accept this publicly, had I not come here to this event, I would have missed a lot in my life. By coming here today, I have learnt a lot. I salute the courage of farmers of Tamil Nadu, I salute their strength to accept change." Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu: PM Narendra Modi says, "In the years to come, I can see several major transformations taking place in India's agriculture. India is on the path to becoming a global hub for natural farming. Our biodiversity is taking a new shape, the youth of the country are seeing agriculture as a modern, scalable opportunity. This will give a majot boost to the rural economy of the country." Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu: PM Narendra Modi says, "In the last 11 years, there has been a massive transformation in the entire agriculture sector of the country. Our agricultural export has almost doubled. To make agriculture modern, government has thrown open all paths to support the farmers."
