Future of Agriculturists and Agriculture based Rural Economy

[rohittewatia]

The present government is not in a mood to address the pending issues & not making an effort to find a better solution to the existing food crisis. With an evergrowing population to feed, the government need to find ways to promote Farming & not the other way around. God forbid, if the govt. takes any critical step in the future & gets sanctions imposed, who will provide the food for India? So far the policy of the government is not clear about the farmers of the Country. Only reason is there is no Union or any single entity representing the farmers unlike the Patidar issue or similar. How can you ignore the (60-70)% population? On one side, Modiji says in present times, we need Gandhiji thinking much more. On other hand, you ignore the very basic thoughts of gandhiji "The future of India lies in its villages".

Recently, the govt. might buy Dals from importers but not provide a good rate to our local farmers & not procuring it domestically is sending a wrong signal to the farming community. Basmati rice rates have almost fallen to the ground. Same kind of behavior was displayed by the congress government in the past, when they imported Inferior Wheat from Australia at a much higher price rather than giving a better wheat rate to our farmers.

Instead of FREEING farmers from government clutches by dismantling MSP price mechanism and letting farmers sell their produce at market decided rates, centre government has freed herself of one more responsibility of paying compensation to farmers who have bad crops due to weather uncertainties

Now no more GIRDAWRIS and no compensations by GOVT.

One Govt and 10 PRIVATE Companies have been introduced as insurance and compensation agents...... with hidden agenda of agriculture lands to buy out as presently have less access to villages. Only state govt can decide which company can a farmer can choose.

If you are loanee farmer....kisan credit card ...blah blah......insurance premium is COMPULSORY.

'Minimum Support Price'......MSP......... is the major evil for deterioration of Farmers' conditions.

'Tender system of Procurement' .....TSP........should be used by government for buying farming products too.
