India is an agriculture-based country and our wealth depends on agricultural production. Throughout the year, Indian farmers are busy sowing seeds and growing crops, but sometimes due to lack of water, sometimes due to lack of resources, and sometimes due to lack of money many farmers are forced to commit suicide every year.

Around 50% of the Indian population is directly dependent on Agriculture and when there is such a large vote bank is involved, politics starts from there. After independence, In every governance, the farmer lives in their manifesto, lives in speeches but never in their real agenda.

But above all such trivial politics, Chaudhary Charan Singh, the fifth Prime Minister of our country, came forward to help the farmers. Chaudhary Charan Singh was born on 23 December 1914 in Hapur, Uttar Pradesh, born in a poor farmer family. Seeing the love of farmers, farmers and the whole country started celebrating National Farmers Day on the auspicious occasion of their birthday.
