In a significant move to address the growing trend of rural migration and to motivate the younger generation to consider farming as a viable profession, Gromax Agri Equipment Ltd., a joint venture between Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. and the Gujarat Government, unveiled a compelling video campaign on Kisan Diwas

The unique video campaign titled “Kisaan Ka Kamaal”, the new film seeks to instill pride in agricultural, while highlighting the endless opportunities within the sector.

Through the eyes of a young boy named Ayush, the video narrates a heartwarming story of his evolving understanding of his father’s role as a farmer. Ayush initially struggles to articulate his aspirations compared to his friends who dream of become doctors and engineers. However, he gradually realizes that his father embodies these roles and more – as an engineer, a doctor, a businessman, and a leader, demonstrating the multifaceted nature of modern agriculture.

The campaign features vibrant montages showcasing rural landscapes and modern agricultural practices, culminating in Ayush’s transformation as he embraces his father’s profession. He not only finds pride in his heritage but also encourages his friends to recognize the dynamic possibilities within agriculture.

By challenging stereotypes surrounding farming and emphasizing its potential for growth and innovation, Gromax aims to inspire a shift in mindset among young Indians. The campaign concludes with the powerful message: “Kisan Banana Sirf Bhagya Nahi, Saubhagya Ki Baat Hai.” (Becoming a farmer is not just destiny, it’s a blessing.) This sentiment underscores the importance of agriculture as a cornerstone of India’s economy and culture.
