Swami Vivekananda in his call to the Nation and to quote "Let New India arise-out of the peasants' cottage, grasping the plough out of the huts of the fisher man, the cobbler and the sweeper. Let her spring from the grocer's shop, from beside the oven of the fritter-seller. Let her emanate from the factory, from marts and from markets. Let her emerge from groves and forests, from hills and mountains'. Saint Thiruvalluvar further says" Farmers are the linchpin of the whole world as they feed even those not in the field."
