Dear Sir, One suggestion is to invite more corporates in the agriculture sector. Farmers can sell their lands to the corporates, which should only be used for agriculture. In turn the corporates can employ the farmers in the fields. This can help the farmers get a steady income, corporates will use latest techniques for farming, they will be responsible for development of the villages, middle men will be eliminated, cheaper price for crops to the people. This will reduce ppl movmnt to cities

Honorable Sir, It has been estimated that population of India will touch 1.4 billion by 2025 and 1.7 billion by 2050. On the contrary India’s grocery list for 2025 is daunting: 260-264 million tonnes (mt) of foodgrain, 151-193mt of vegetables, 84-106 mt of fruits. Therefore future need should also be taken into account in planning process. Regards

All rich people are buying agricultural land purely for investment purpose. No actual farming is done. They are all building splendid farm houses, thereby decreasing the area of actual cultivation. Patwaris & Girdavars are in collusion with these rich people depriving the farmers of their land,

Respected sir, The per-capita availability of land has already decreased from 0.5 hectare in 1950-51 to 0.15 hectare in 1999-2000, which will further be reduced to 0.08 hectare in 2025 A.D. the report on the “State of Indian Agriculture 2011-12”, highlight that, the average size of operational holdings in India has diminished progressively from 2.28 ha in 1970-71 to 1.55 ha in 1990-91 to 1.23 ha in 2005-06. The inclusive land reform is a present day necessity. Regards

मेरे पास पांच बीघा खेत है। लेकिन मेरे अनाज की सरकारी खरीद की कोई योजना नहीं है। गांव में बिचौलिया आधे दाम पर खरीदकर ले जाता है। सरकारी खरीद के लिए खरीद केंद्र पर अपनी गाड़ी से ले जाना होता है जहां पर केंद्र वाले ज्यादा धान लेते हैं और महीना-दो महीना बाद पैसा देते हैं। 10-15 क्विंटल के लिए किराया ही बहुत लग जाता है। पिताजी उम्रदराज हैं, वे जा नहीं पाते। गांव में इतना सरकारी अनाज आ गया है(अंत्योदय और अन्य योजनाओं का) कि हमारा अनाज क्यों कोई खरीदेगा? बताइये हम क्या करें?

Farmers are the feeding hand of the country.Without them the country would be starving.Farmers debt is national debt and it should be written-off.More credit facilities should be availed to farmers through NABARD,RRBs and other public sector banks.A national agricultural market should be developed.A good agri-rail net should be developed for transporting vegetables.Subsidies on fertilizers should be given to small scale farmers.
