Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday that India has become a food surplus country and is working to provide solutions for global food and nutritional security.
Addressing a gathering after inaugurating the 32nd International Conference of Agricultural Economists (ICAE), which is being organised in India after 65 years, the Prime Minister also said the Union Budget 2024-25 focuses on sustainable agriculture.
Note that the last time the conference was hosted here, India had just achieved independence, and it was a challenging time for the country’s agriculture and food security.
