The New Nation - Internet Edition

Declaration of Pahela Agrahayan as the 'National Agriculture Day' by the government has sparked pulsation to the community life of our farming people. Farmers throughout the country have celebrated the Day with great enthusiasm and jubilation. The government deserves appreciation for declaring the National Agriculture Day by recognizing the men behind the plough who are actually the prime driving force of our economy.

Meanwhile, I think, the National Agriculture Day could have more impact on our farming community if the word 'Farmer' be incorporated in it, that is, 'National Agriculture & Farmers Day', in Bangla, "Jatyo Krishi O Krishok Dibosh".
