What Is the Significance of National Farmers Day?
Today, December 23, 2025, marks the 123rd birth anniversary of Bharat Ratna Chaudhary Charan Singh, celebrated across India as National Farmers Day (Kisan Diwas). This day honors the “Annadatas” who serve as the backbone of the nation’s economy and food security.

🌾 2025 Theme: “Vikasit Bharat 2047”
The official theme for 2025 is “Vikasit Bharat 2047 – The Role of FPOs in Globalising Indian Agriculture.” This theme emphasizes the government’s push to transform Indian agriculture into a globally competitive sector by 2047. The focus is specifically on Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), which empower small and marginal farmers through:
- Collective Bargaining: Giving farmers better leverage in the market.
- Agri-Exports: Linking local produce to international markets.
- Modern Technology: Bridging the gap between traditional methods and precision farming.
🇮🇳 Key Highlights & Government Tributes
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan led the nation in paying tribute to Chaudhary Charan Singh, the 5th Prime Minister of India, often called the “Champion of India’s Peasants.”
