On December 23 every year, India honors the hard work and service of the farmers by celebrating National Farmer Day or Kisan Diwas. The day is marked in the memory of our fifth Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh. Regarded as a farmer's leader, he was referred to as the 'champion of India's peasants' as he introduced many schemes for the benefit of the farmers and to improve the agricultural economy. Also, he played an important role in bringing the issues of small and marginal farmers to the forefront.
In the 1959 Nagpur Congress Session, Chaudhary Charan Singh also publically opposed then Prime Minister Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru on his collectivist and socialistic land policies. Recognizing his contribution and work for the peasants' community, the government decided to mark this day as National Farmer Day or Kisan Diwas
