Farmers Being Empowered by PPP Government, says Mr. Dahar

Jam Mahtab Hussain Dahar, the Provincial Minister for Revenue, announced in a media briefing that the PPP government in this tenure has allotted 56,187n acres of land among poor farmers who did not have a land of their own. They were landless and a large number of the people among whom the land has been distributed are women and the government had taken this initiative in order to provide farmers with a respectable source of income.

The total number of allottees is 60,069 and around 80% of the allottees are women and this proves that the current government has paid special attention to women, taking them a step nearer of the dream of their leader Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto of women empowerment. He said this act of the government will certainly help them to eliminate the poverty in the country and especially among the women.

The minister also told that not only the government is providing them with land but also with financial assistance up to Rs. 58000 which has certainly made life much easier for the farmers and it also ensures that the land will get cultivated and will not lay wasted due to dearth of funds. The government is also providing, told he, the seeds, fertilizers and other important facilities that are a must for the farmer and only government of Peoples Party has given all these grant packages to the poor farmers.

He also resolved that this practice will continue in the future and the government will continue its tireless efforts to fulfill the dreams of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto of empowering the poor farmers and lower class of the society so that Pakistan’s agricultural economy of Pakistan can flourish and bear fruit for both the state as well as the farmers.
