He added, “The Indian government has given shape to the laws after much deliberation. Most of the constraints of the farmers have been ended, they have been given new rights and new opportunities.”
PM also requested the youth especially those who are studying agriculture and farming to go to nearby villages and make farmers aware of the new farming techniques and the recent reforms. He said, “By doing this, you will become a partner in big change that is happening in the country.”

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has offered to meet the farmers on the condition that they shit their protests to designated spots on the outskirts of New Delhi. The majority of farmers unions have rejected this offer and has decided to stay put outside Delhi borders.
