Ahead of his two-day visit to West Bengal beginning on June 20, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday shared details of his itinerary through social media posts in Bengali, highlighting a series of developmental, agricultural, and national events.

The Prime Minister said he would participate in several programmes across the state on June 20 and 21. He also noted that June 20 holds special significance as West Bengal Day.

PM Modi said Tarakeswar in Hooghly district would host a major event. He noted that the town shares a historical association with Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee and his efforts to preserve West Bengal’s cultural heritage.

The programme will also mark the inauguration of several development initiatives.

The Prime Minister stated that the 23rd instalment of the PM-KISAN scheme would be released from Tarakeswar, benefiting farmers across the country. He also announced the launch of key agriculture-related Central government initiatives, including the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, Agri Stack under the Digital Agriculture Mission, the National Mission on Natural Farming, and the Pradhan Mantri Dhan-Dhanya Krishi Yojana.

According to him, these schemes will benefit farmers in West Bengal.

On June 21, PM Modi will attend a programme in Kolkata to mark International Yoga Day.

Following the Yoga Day event, the Prime Minister will likely participate in another programme where the Indian Navy will launch three indigenously designed warships — INS Dunagiri, INS Samshodhaka and INS Agrya.

The Prime Minister said the launch of these vessels would strengthen India’s national security capabilities and demonstrate the country’s commitment to self-reliance in the defence sector.

The visit will likely combine developmental outreach, agricultural initiatives, and strategic defence milestones during the two-day programme in West Bengal.
