Nirmala will open treasury for the farmers today, will the farmers be able to meet the demand?

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will put out details on Thursday to provide assistance to the agriculture sector. Farmers' organizations have previously filed several lawsuits ranging from compensation to loan waiver to making farmers self-reliant and compensation for crop losses. In such a situation, now we have to see how the government meets the expectations of farmers.



To bring the country's economy back to normal amid the crisis and Crown embroidered, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced a package of Rs 20 billion, for which Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is creating advertisements for various sectors. On Thursday, the finance minister will keep details on giving relief to the agricultural sector, but before that, farmers' organizations have filed several demands, ranging from compensating crop losses to debt relief, for farmers to be self-reliant. . In such a situation, it should be seen how much the Modi government meets the expectations of the farmers?



Demand for agricultural loan waiver

Dharmendra Malik demanded that the government forgive the existing crop loans from the farmers engaged in farming crops, as the crop of the farmers has been completely ruined this year. In addition, the farmer should be provided cash for all resources including manure, seeds for the next crop. He said that the way agricultural production has come down and farmers have suffered a lot. In view of this, all farmer loans taken for crops and machinery should be extended for one year or their interest should be waived.

Demand for local medicine for seed manure

The Secretary-General of the Kisan Union states that for the self-reliance of the country, the first self-sufficiency of the agricultural sector is necessary. But the government provides all support to the company. How the farmer would be self-reliant without government support has become dependent on foreign companies and corporations like Monsanto for fertilizer and seeds. Until the government works on the principle of giving its seeds, its manure, its medicines, and its food to the farmer, self-sufficiency will not come. In such a situation, the government will have to work on local seeds to provide fertilizer. Apart from this, he has demanded to increase the amount of Kisan Samman Nidhi from Rs 6,000 to Rs 24,000 a year.

Correct cultivation rate

General Secretary of the Indian Farmers Union Dharmendra Malik said that in this country, the biggest blow to the epidemic and corona has been hit on the farmers. All the crops of farmers, from fruits to vegetables and grains have been destroyed. The farmer is not getting a fair rate for his crop, in such a situation, the government should first compensate the farmers for the loss of the crop and set a reasonable rate.




Demand for compensation for milk producers.

He said that 80 percent of the city's economy is through milk. After closure, the livelihood of the farmers has ended. Every day, the country's milk producers incur a loss of about 200 million rupees. In such a situation, the government should help milk producers with compensation.

Demand for compensation for sugarcane growers

 VM Singh says that this is the condition of sugarcane growers. If we talk about UP, then Rs. Mill owners owe 12 and a half billion sugarcane farmers. In such a situation, the government should pay the fees of the sugarcane farmers themselves so that they can start eating and drinking. The government should recover this money from the owners of the sugar mill in india.



Farmers' loss of compensation.

VM Singh of the All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee says that the farmers have suffered double losses amid the Corona crisis. One, due to rain and hailstorm, the crop of the farmer was ruined, on the other hand, due to captivity, farmers have to sell fruits and vegetables, as well as milk and other crops: wheat, gram, mustard, etc. at a fixed price. In such a situation, the government should decide whether the insurance companies will compensate the farmers for the loss or whether they will do so themselves.

If the debt of industrialists is forgiven, then why not small farmers?

VM Singh said that the government should provide new loans for the next crop without depositing the previous loans of the farmers so that the farmers can start their next agriculture. The government can waive 68 billion rupees debt of industrialists of the country, so why not forgive the debts of small farmers? We do not say that the debts of the big farmers should be forgiven, but those who have one or two hectares of land, at least the debts of such farmers can be forgiven.

Purchase of crops with reference to MSP.

He said that all the crops including wheat of the farmers have been purchased at less than MSP. The government should give them compensation. In addition, farmers' crops should be purchased under MSP. VM Singh has also increased the demand for linking agriculture with MNREGA. He said that it would also work for the workers and would be readily available to the farmers for agriculture. Prime Minister Singh says that for 70 years the farmer has been dealing with losses and Corona has broken his back. In such a situation, if the government does not show farmers to be self-reliant, then who will come?
