Union Budget 2025-26 quote for Dr. Gyanendra Shukla, MD and CEO of Rallis India Limited

“Firstly, I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on presenting her eighth consecutive budget. The Union Budget 2025 adopts a forward-looking approach to strengthen Indian agriculture with a focus on self-reliance, sustainability, and rural empowerment. Prioritizing agriculture, MSMEs, and exports lays a strong foundation for long-term resilience.

The PM Dhan Dhanya Krishi Yojana will transform 100 agri districts by enhancing productivity, irrigation, storage, and credit access for 1.7 crore farmers. The National Mission on High-Yielding Seeds, targeting 100+ climate-resilient varieties, will boost yields and incomes. A renewed push for Atmanirbharta in edible oilseeds and the Mission for Cotton Productivity will further support farmers and reduce import dependence.

By advancing rural prosperity, crop diversification, and scientific innovation, this budget reinforces the government’s commitment to self-sufficient agriculture. At Rallis India, we remain dedicated to empowering farmers with sustainable crop protection and sustainable farming solutions, aligning with the government’s vision for a more resilient and prosperous agricultural sector.”
