Strange to see you feel bad about the farmer having the choice to sell his produce to the market. Why is the price of produce in markets less than MSP announced by the govt? Is the demand less? Is the produce more? Why are farmers not getting prodits on their agri costs?pingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437404854508771174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778570096826367144.post-60134765064629260912015-03-23T00:09:31.602+05:302015-03-23T00:09:31.602+05:30You described the pathetic condition of farmers ve...You described the pathetic condition of farmers very well. Besides giving importance and strengthening the extension system, agri technologies, scientific farmings, giving importance on quality soil n water for farming, easy loans n finances he discouraging them by above points mentioned by you. Infact he has also planning to close rural development schemes or discouraging I in other way like MGNREGA we all knows. Other schemes like watershed n BRGF in the same line. Which gradually affect the farmers. I wl talk particularly abt watershed. Watershed has very good concept from harvesting water to use water efficiently to concentrate on crop/milk productivity, environment saving(jungle) to build the capacity of villagers/farmers to plan, execute the project in indigenous way and in sustainable manner (participatory approach). Sigh...<br /><br />Why we don't want to strengthen our farmers I don't understand instead as u said rightly we consider them labour. Right now thy must feel that y he became farmer?Parinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10559027141909706299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778570096826367144.post-39247336797616042682015-03-21T12:35:19.990+05:302015-03-21T12:35:19.990+05:30There is a need to promote co-operative society co...There is a need to promote co-operative society concept where the farmers can discuss, plan and execute their own agri based activities. Also, the Agriculture Research and Extension system of the country need to be supported morally and financially. There is a need to distribute the agricultural land of the country crop wise and farmers may be employed with minimum support stipend so that they follow the recommendations even if the agriculture plan fails due to climatic variations.<br />If Agriculture is the back bone of country than Agriculture Research and Extension system may also be considered equally important since crop intensification and diversification is only possible through Agri Research and Extesnion system. There also a need to encourage the farmers to get registered with Agri based organisation for time to time guidance. <br />Sanjeev Sandalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02979777346168147220noreply@blogger.com
