Yet another article on Delhi fog & relationship with stubble burning and yet gain suffering from factual incorrectness and infirmities. How ignorant our AC room based Professors are. The ignorant prof says paddy cultivation and change in harvesting time in PB & HR is recent phenomenon. Truth cannot be farther than that. Want to remind the armchair Prof that Punjab remains the highest marketable surplus rice state in India since more than 30-40 years; result of green revolution. Haryana has also catched up. Contribution of PB in rice central pool is around 90- 110LMT whereas HR contributes around 30 LMT. Other major producers are AP/TEL , Ch’garh , Odisha. Pl remember best basmati rice comes from Amritsar belt in PB & Taraori in HR. However its cultivation is not suited and agriculturally its alien to this part of country given low rainfall and sandy soul. Due to guaranteed MSP for FAQ Rice, uncertainty in Cotton crop production and low demand/ price of basmati rice in overseas market , lack of crop diversification, Punjab farmers are compelled to grow paddy. Further PB farmers are under bonded labour system run by middle men/ financiers. Since rice ecosystem is well ensconced , they don’t allow farmers to go for crop diversification. PB govt under populism provides free water drawn from HP and electricity. Farmers use excess water free, not natural rain water and also excess fertiliser under pressure of middle men resulting in increasing trend in paddy production. There is no truth in shifting of paddy crop from July to October. It’s always like there. More and more area has come under paddy cultivation at the cost of cotton and basmati. High paddy production resulting in excessive stubble and timeline set for water release from canals leave a small window for farmers to clear stubble and prepare farmland for wheat cultivation. Delhites are dying of lung disease and Punjabis of cancer. The only long term solution is to disinsentivise paddy cultivation in PB & HR and go for cro diversification to less water consuming crops. Encourage & incentivise NE states like Assam to triple paddy production for becoming deficient state to surplus. Instruct FCI to procure rice to bare minimum quantity required for PDS. Question is who will bell the fatty cat – not farmers but middle men / financiers/ arhatias – the fund raiser for all political party in PB/ HR. This will be a win win situation for PB/HR as well as Delhi. Though media is highlighting health of Delhi prominently, but health condition of Punjab is much more serious internally.
Along with disincentive for rice, govt can encourage millets (by giving MSP) which need only one or two waterings for the whole crop.
