Farmers are like the backbone of India. Farmers produce food crops and oilseeds for all the people of the country. They also produce commercial crops. Farmers carry out various duties but their primary tasks are planting, cultivating, executing post-harvest duties, and overseeing livestock.

The grains grown by him satisfy the hunger of billions of people in the whole country. In fact, they are the breadwinners of the nations.
Farmers produce for our survival. They give their blood and sweat to grow the grains so that nation does not sleep on a hungry stomach. The farmer works very hard starting from the preparation of the field to harvest the crop and his life is full of continuous struggle and hard work.
