TMC to promote state govt's scheme for farmers

The farmers' organisation of Trinamool Congress will launch a mass campaign in the farmlands across the state today to promote Didike Bolo. Didike Bolo is a newly-launched initiative by the party through which the people of the state can put across their opinions, experiences and problems regarding government services, political issues and others to the chief minister Mamata Banerjee.

The campaign of the party to communicate directly with farmers will continue for about two months. After that, sometime in November a state-level farmers’ conclave will be held in Kolkata.

The field campaign will involve knowing the problems farmers may be facing as well as their good experiences. Through various schemes implemented successfully by the government the condition of farmers has improved and their income has increased, the state government feels.


In the one month since the launch of Didike Bolo the initiative has become very popular. It has taken the form of a mass movement wherein leaders at all levels, right from the chief minister herself have visited localities across the state to talk to the people.
