Jai Jawan Jai Kisan (English: "Hail the Soldier, Hail the Farmer") was a slogan of Lal Bahadur Shastri, the second Prime Minister of India spoken in 1965 at a public gathering Uruwa, Prayagraj.[1][2]
Soon after Shastri took over the prime ministership of India after Nehru's death, India was attacked by Pakistan.
At the same time, there was a scarcity of food grains in the country.

Shastri gave the slogan Jai Jawan Jai Kisan to enthuse the soldiers to defend India and simultaneously cheering farmers to do their best to increase the production of food grains to reduce dependence on imports. It became a very popular slogan.[1][3]
The I&B Ministry commemorated Shastri on his 48th martyr's day:
Former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri was one of those great Indians who has left an indelible impression on our collective life.
