PM Oli calls for modernizing agriculture on National Paddy Day



KATHMANDU: Prime Minister (PM) KP Sharma Oli has emphasized the need to modernize agriculture and boost production through the use of technology.

In his message on the occasion of National Paddy Day, he said, “Today, Asar 15, is our festival of hard work and harvest—Paddy Day—the fragrance of life from the soil, the worship of sweat in the water, and the dream of swaying rice ears. This planting tradition has been passed down through generations. Though I am currently abroad, memories of planting rice from my childhood come alive today.”

Prime Minister Oli further noted that the government has introduced an agricultural modernization program aimed at increasing production by integrating technology across all farming activities.

He added, “Let us work together to modernize agriculture and increase production through technology.”
