Another example is from the erstwhile district of Tamil Nadu, where the farmers of Tamil Nadu form the Farmers Company; This Farmer Produce Company is just a name company; In fact, these farmers have formed a collective together. It has a very flexible system, and also developed five-six years ago. This Kisan Collective bought hundreds of metric tons of vegetables, fruits and bananas from nearby villages during the lockout and supplied a vegetable combo kit in the city of Chennai.
Think about how many youths he employed, and the interesting fact is that due to the absence of middlemen, not only did the farmer benefit, but the consumer benefited as well. One such group of farmers comes from Lucknow. He named himself Irda; The peasant producers and they also, during the lockout, purchased fruits and vegetables directly from the fields of the cultivators, and sold them directly to the markets of Lucknow, freed from middlemen, and got whatever the price demanded. Friends, Ismail Bhai is a farmer of village Rampura in Banaskantha, Gujarat. His story is also very interesting. Ismail Bhai wanted to do farming, but, now, as this is the general attitude towards farming, his family ignored the views of Ismail Bhai! Ismail Bhai's father was in farming, but he often suffered losses. So the father refuses… Yet despite family members being discouraged, Ismail Bhai decided that he would definitely do farming. Ismail Bhai had vowed that they would change the situation, considering farming to be a damaging activity. He started farming, using new methods and innovative techniques. They cultivated potatoes using drip irrigation…. And today his potatoes are his hallmark. He is growing potatoes which are of very high quality. Ismail Bhai sells these potatoes directly to big companies, middle men are just out of the question. And the result - he is making handsome profits. He has now paid off all his father's debts.

("MANN KI BAAT" JALLIANWALA BAGH)
My dear countrymen, I want to bring you to a period from our past. This is a story from 101 years ago. The year was 1919. The British rulers killed innocent civilians at Jallianwala Bagh. After the murder, a 12-year-old boy visited the scene. A happy and agile boy but what he saw in Jallianwala Bagh was beyond his imagination. He was shocked at how someone could be so ruthless. This innocent boy started burning in the fire of anger. At Jallianwala Bagh, he resolved to fight the British rule. Did you know who I am referring to? Yes! I am speaking of Shaheed Veer Bhagat Singh. Tomorrow, on September 28, we will celebrate the birth anniversary of Shaheed Veer Bhagat Singh. I bow before the martyr of courage and valor, Veer Bhagat Singh and bow to my countrymen. Can you think that an empire, which ruled a vast part of the world, it was often said that the sun never sits on this empire - such a powerful empire had this 23 years of terror. Shaheed Bhagat Singh was as much a scholar and a thinker as he was a fighter. Bhagat Singh, along with his revolutionary friends, without taking care of their own, did such daring acts which had a great impact in the country in attaining independence. Another fascinating aspect of the life of Shaheed Veer Bhagat Singh is that he appreciated the importance of teamwork. Whether it was his devotion to Lala Lajpat Rai or his personal image with his fellow revolutionaries as Chandrashekhar Azad, Sukhdev, Rajguru, personal appreciation was of no importance to him. As long as he lived, he had only one mission and he devoted his life to that mission - that mission was to free India from injustice and British rule. I read a comment from Ajay SG from Hyderabad on NaMo app. Ajay ji writes - How can today's youth try to be like Bhagat Singh? we will see ; We may or may not become like Bhagat Singh, but the love and drive that Bhagat Singh had for his country, the drive and inspiration he had to do for his country, certainly dwells in all our hearts. . This will be our greatest tribute to Shaheed Bhagat Singh. Four years ago, during this time, the world saw the courage, bravery and might of our soldiers during a surgical strike. Our brave soldiers had only one mission and one goal - to protect Bharat Mata ki Jai and honor at all costs. They cared little for their own good. He proceeded on his duty path and we all became witness to how he emerged victorious. He raised the pride of Mother India.
