Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Thursday congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi after he was conferred with the prestigious FAO Agricola Medal at the headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome.
In a message shared on social media, Majhi described the recognition as a major global honour reflecting Modi’s leadership in strengthening food security, supporting farmers and promoting sustainable agriculture.
FAO Agricola Medal Narendra Modi Recognition Draws Praise
The Chief Minister said India’s agricultural sector has witnessed transformational growth under Modi’s leadership, earning global recognition and boosting the country’s international standing.
“Under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji, India’s agricultural sector has witnessed transformative growth, earning international acclaim and bringing immense pride to every Indian,” Majhi stated.
The Food and Agriculture Organization awards the Agricola Medal to leaders and institutions making exceptional contributions to agriculture, rural development and global food security.
The second-order effect of such international recognition could strengthen India’s influence in global agricultural policy discussions, especially on food sustainability, climate-resilient farming and rural development partnerships.
Why the FAO Agricola Medal Matters
The FAO Agricola Medal is considered one of the highest recognitions in the field of agriculture and food security.
The honour highlights efforts linked to:
- Sustainable agriculture
- Farmer welfare
- Rural transformation
- Food security initiatives
- Agricultural innovation
India has increasingly positioned itself as a major agricultural economy while expanding digital farming systems, crop support mechanisms and food distribution programmes in recent years.
India’s Agriculture Push Gains Global Attention
The recognition comes amid India’s growing emphasis on agricultural reforms, agri-tech innovation and self-sufficiency in food production.
Analysts say India’s expanding role in global food supply chains and agricultural diplomacy has gained greater visibility following multiple international initiatives on:
- Climate-resilient farming
- Millet promotion
- Food distribution systems
- Farmer empowerment programmes
PM Modi has frequently highlighted agriculture as a central pillar of India’s economic and rural development strategy.
Rome Visit Adds Strategic Significance
The award ceremony also added symbolic importance to Modi’s visit to Rome, where India has been strengthening diplomatic and economic partnerships with European nations and international institutions.
The recognition from a major UN agency reinforces India’s efforts to project itself as a leader in sustainable development and food security policy at the global level.
