23rd December is celebrated as Farmer's Day in India every year. On this day, the country expresses gratitude to the hardworking farmers and appreciates their contribution to India's economy. The programs organized on the occasion of Farmer's Day have meaningful discussions on a number of issues such as the contribution of agricultural scientists, farmers' problems, new experiments in agriculture, new technology, crop system and change in agriculture.

India is called an agricultural country and even today more than half of the population is dependent on farming or related activities. In that case, you must be wondering what is special about 23rd December, when Farmer's Day is celebrated on this day, the answer is that 23rd December is the birth anniversary of Chaudhary Charan Singh, the fifth PM and veteran farmer leader of the country. He has done many important things in the interest of farmers and for farming, which are remembered on this day. Chaudhary Charan Singh used to say that the condition of farmers will change only then the country will grow and they continue to work in this direction.

Chaudhary Charan Singh, who was the PM of the country for a few months, played a key role in the upliftment of farmers and the agriculture sector. He is known as one of the most famous farmer leaders in the country. It was for the agriculture sector and their work in the interest of farmers that the Government of India decided to celebrate December 23 as Farmer's Day in 2001. Since then, we have been grateful to the farmers who provide food to our plates every year.

Born on December 23, 1902, in a farming family in Uttar Pradesh, Chaudhary Charan Singh was deeply influenced by Mahatma Gandhi and fought for freedom against the British when the country was a slave. After independence, they started working in the interest of the farmers. His politics were mainly based on rural India, farmers, and socialist principles.
