"Shree Anna Initiative Can Be Great Opportunity For Small Farmers": PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurates the 17th Indian Cooperative Congress at International Exhibition-cum-Convention Centre (IECC), in Delhi today. Its objective is to discuss various trends in the cooperative movement, showcase best practices being adopted, deliberate challenges being faced and chalk out future policy direction for the growth of India's cooperative movement. "Milk powder to butter to ghee, our Indian produce is in demand across the world. A new market is being formed for our millets. Our Shree Anna can be a great opportunity to earn for our small farmers," PM said, adding that it's only because of the Indian government's initiatives, this year is being celebrated as the 'International Year of Millets'.
