Modi Receives FAO's Highest Agricola Medal in Rome, Dedicates It to India's Farmers

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been conferred with the Agricola Medal, the highest honour awarded by the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization, in a prestigious ceremony held at the FAO headquarters in Rome on Wednesday. The medal was presented by FAO Director-General Qu Dongyu in recognition of Modi's outstanding contributions to agriculture, food security, farmer welfare and sustainable development on a global scale.
Accepting the award, PM Modi dedicated the medal to India's farmers, livestock rearers, fish rearers, agriculture scientists and rural workers, calling them the true recipients of this honour. He also highlighted India's millennia-old cultural bond with the land, describing agriculture as not merely an economic activity but a reflection of Indian values and civilisational identity. He reminded the world that Indians call the earth their mother and refer to farmers as sons of the soil.

FAO Director-General Qu Dongyu praised a wide range of landmark initiatives launched under Modi's leadership, including a massive food-based social safety net covering approximately 800 million people, direct income transfers to over 110 million farmers, and India's global campaign to promote millets. Qu also commended India's emphasis on digital public infrastructure during its G20 Presidency as a model for developing countries. Modi's efforts to place agriculture at the heart of international policy discussions were recognised as a major milestone in the global fight against hunger and poverty.
