New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has placed farmers and women at the forefront of his initial decisions following the inauguration of the new Seva Teerth office, signalling a clear emphasis on rural empowerment and inclusive development. In his first set of directives issued from the newly established facility, the prime minister prioritised schemes aimed at strengthening agricultural livelihoods and expanding opportunities for women across the country.
Modi’s focus on farmers comes amid ongoing challenges in the agricultural sector, with calls for improved support systems, better access to credit and sustainable practices gaining traction across states. The decisions taken from the Seva Teerth office aim to deepen engagement with farming communities and streamline initiatives intended to boost productivity and resilience in the sector.
At the same time, the prime minister’s early actions demonstrate a renewed drive to expand women’s participation in economic and social spheres. Specific measures are set to target skill development, financial inclusion and enhanced access to government programmes tailored to the needs of women, particularly in rural areas where disparities have historically been more pronounced.
Officials said Modi’s choice to foreground these priorities reflects a broader vision of equitable growth, with farmers and women seen as key drivers of India’s development trajectory. Sources in the government noted that subsequent policy announcements from Seva Teerth are expected to build on this thematic focus, with continued attention on grassroots empowerment.
The establishment of the Seva Teerth office itself has been presented as a step toward bringing governance closer to citizens and accelerating decision-making on welfare-oriented programmes. By leveraging this platform to highlight issues affecting farmers and women, the prime minister is signalling a policy approach that blends operational efficiency with targeted social intervention.
Political observers said the emphasis on these groups also carries symbolic weight, underscoring their importance in the national narrative and in the electorate at large. As Modi’s new term begins, the strategic prioritisation of farmer and women-centric policies is likely to shape the government’s agenda across ministries and states.
Government sources have indicated that forthcoming decisions will build on the early momentum, with detailed frameworks and implementation timelines to be shared in due course. The initial moves from Seva Teerth have set a tone of focused governance, with inclusion and empowerment emerging as defining themes.
