Other officials present included ICAR DG and DARE Secretary DR Mangi Lal Jaat, Land Resources Secretary Narendra Bhooshan, and additional representatives from both ministries. The participants committed to enhancing agricultural prosperity, boosting food production, expanding food processing, promoting exports of Indian agricultural goods, raising farmer incomes, and honoring their hard work.

The Rural Development Ministry announced that the goal is to achieve six crore "Lakhpati Didis," building on the earlier target of three crore "Lakhpati Didis."
