National Farmers’ Day, or Kisan Diwas, is celebrated across the country on December 23 to recognise the huge contribution of our farmers and also to commemorate the birth anniversary of the nation’s fifth prime minister, Choudhary Charan Singh.

This year, the Delhi Police denied permission to late Chaudhary Charan Singh's grandson Jayant Chaudhary (also National Vice-president of Rashtriya Lok Dal) for paying tributes to the former Prime Minister on his 118th birth anniversary at central Delhi's Kisan Ghat area, citing COVID-19 guidelines. 

But Jayant Singh, along with some other farmer leaders went to the Kisan Ghat and paid respects to late. Chaudhary Charan Singh.

Bhupender Chaudhary, member of Bharatiya Kisan Union who had also accompanied Jayant Singh, spoke with The Agro team.
