Shivraj Singh Chouhan today addressed the centenary celebrations at the ICAR- Central Institute for Research on Cotton Technology. Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan congratulated all on completing 100 years. Shri Chouhan said that when this laboratory was established 100 years ago in 1924, perhaps the only purpose would have been to find out how to earn maximum profit from cotton, at that time, they would have had their own goals and objectives, but today our goal is to build a developed India under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. Union Minister added that “a glorious, prosperous, rich India cannot be built without farmers. Even today, agriculture is the backbone of India's economy and farmers are its soul”. Shri Chouhan said that as a minister, serving farmers is like worshipping God for me. He added that various dimensions have to be fulfilled through this institute.
