Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said, the mode of earning and way of living in rural India are transforming and there is a need to connect the ground capabilities with mainstream economic systems.

Interacting with BJP MPs and MLAs through the Narendra Modi App, the Prime Minister said, there is a need to focus on skill development.

He said, Mudra Yojna is also helping people and 11 crore people have already been benefitted from the scheme. Mr Modi added that women in self-help groups are coming up with new employment opportunities in various sectors.

He said, BJP leaders should be involved in every work that is being undertaken in the society for the welfare of people.

Speaking on agriculture, Mr Modi said, many farmers are unaware of a number of agricultural facts and schemes today and there is a need to organise campaigns to educate them. He asked the lawmakers to organise workshops on latest farming techniques in villages.

The Prime Minister said, there is a need to highlight that the recommendations of the Swaminathan Commission on Minimum Support Price have been implemented so that the farmers can benefit from it.

Mr Modi also invited suggestions for the celebrations of 150th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi with focus on Swachhta Abhiyan. He said, the suggestions from rural MLAs are more powerful. Mr Modi asked party workers to invest energy in the last days of Gram Swaraj Abhiyan.
