He also demanded that the feed of Bajra and Maize be provided at the lower import duty as the India was the largest consumer of the raw material.He further said that the poultry sector had great hope from the prime Minister Mr Narender Modi as he had done a lot for the farmers of the country . with a view to double the farm income ,a number of schemes had been launched including Prime Minister Farmers Samman Scheme, besides providing rumenrative prices of their produce .Under the Scheme a sum of Rs 6000 were being given to the farmers in three instalments in a year.About 12 crore farmers were getting benefit of this innovative schemes.
