Former Himachal CM Shanta Kumar, who headed a committee formed by Modi govt to study agricultural reforms, says most small farmers don’t benefit from MSP.
Economic Survey 2019-20 blames the 1955 EC Act and the Food Corporation as govt interventions that have undermined markets and held back agricultural growth.
Modi government has been transferring a part of its liabilities to FCI by giving it loans from NSSF and lowering the actual food subsidy in the budget.
The last time this matter flared up was when Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, in a very similar directive in April, called for the relocation of stray dogs in the capital.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
Shanta Kumar never did farming. His policies were largely biased and against the peope. That’s why people of HP rejected him from State’s active politics for ever. Fake idealist.
Look at his recommendations on merit instead of saying he is not a farmer or rejected from active politics. Many agriculturists have suggested similar reforms.
