Correct Answer : December 23
National Farmer's Day or Kisan Diwas is celebrated across the country on December 23 to honor and recognise farmers as the backbone of this country.
To honor the birth anniversary of Choudhary Charan Singh, the fifth Prime Minister of India, this day was chosen.
In states like Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh, where farmers are actively engaged in agriculture, National Farmer's Day is celebrated every year.
In order to ensure people don't starve to death and don't die of hunger, farmers work around the clock and year-round, but they struggle to eat at least 2 square meals per day. The reason Farmer's Day is celebrated every year is to promote awareness of the contribution farmers make to society and to reward them for it.
