**Ahead of Union Budget 2025, Agriculture Experts Call for Increased Investment in Research and Technology** As the **Union Budget 2025** approaches, farmers and agriculture experts are urging the government to prioritize the agriculture sector by boosting funding for **agricultural research** and **advanced technology**. This includes additional subsidies on **fertilizers**, **urea**, and **machinery**, aimed at helping farmers increase crop production at reduced costs. “With over **50% of the population** involved in agriculture, it is crucial that the budget allocation reflects this,” said agriculture expert **Dharmendra Malik**. He emphasized that the **PM ASHA budget** should be increased threefold, and the **overall agriculture budget** should see a 10% rise to enhance the income of farmers and laborers. Experts are optimistic that the government will focus on agriculture, education, and health, driving better outcomes for both farmers and the wider population. Malik further added, “We expect that the government will double the funds for **PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi**, following previous allocations of **60,000 crore**.” A significant portion of the budget is also expected to be directed toward **agriculture research** and the development of **infrastructure** to support **cutting-edge agricultural technology**. According to the **Economic Survey 2023-24**, the agriculture sector has grown at an average annual rate of **4.18%** over the past five years. The country has maintained a stable stock of food grains, with about **40% of the stock distributed free of cost** to two-thirds of the population. Additionally, India exports more than **7% of its food grains**, contributing positively to the national economy. The **Economic Survey** highlights the role of **digitization** in agriculture, which is expected to help farmers make more informed decisions. It also outlines welfare schemes such as **PM Gareeb Kalyan Yojana (PMGKAY)**, the **National Food Security Act (NFSA)**, and India’s food management program, which includes procurement and distribution. “We are hoping for relief from the upcoming budget, especially through subsidies on **fertilizers**, **urea**, and **machinery**, which will make a significant difference in our production costs,” said **Chanda Ram**, a farmer from **Jodhpur**. **Amar Pal**, a farmer from **Uttar Pradesh**, echoed similar expectations, stating, “We hope the government will focus on building **storage warehouses** and improving **infrastructure** for farmers to store and preserve our produce.” The agriculture sector continues to support the livelihood of about **42.3% of the population** and contributes **18.2% to the country’s GDP**. With sustained growth, this sector plays a vital role in the overall economic development of India.
