The FCI’s price support for farmers is one of the largest welfare programmes in India. But it is largely ineffective in reaching those who need it most.
One has to be incredibly credulous to buy BJP spin masters’ argument that the government got rid of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar for harmonious relationship with the judiciary.
Modi government had also made numerous efforts to establish peace with Pakistan but has now adopted a different path, militarily, to establish peace, adds defence minister.
As Narendra Modi becomes India’s second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Indira Gandhi across four key dimensions.
Nice article. It’s sad that instead of benefitting the small farmers, the lakhs of crores of rupees spent every year by FCI benefits big farmers who don’t need Govt support. It’s the tragedy of democracy where the big farmer is politically influential while the small farmer is politically invisible.
I know from personal experience that small farmers don’t benefit from MSP procurement, but benefit from Kisan Samman Nidhi. But due to the political power of big farmers who dominate farmer unions, Govt keeps increasing budget for MSP exponentially every year while ignoring Kisan Samman Nidhi.
Its simple, effective, Wish this will fall into hands of PM. This solves inefficiencies of FCI and improve farmer, both in one shot. In the process will save tons of money which can fill the govt coffers which is depending mostly on Petrol cell for emergency needs. This can be another success story of current dispensation.
This is the first analysis based article aimed at solution. Unlike the typical argument FARMERS KNOW BEST which is like saying the patient knows best so we do not need the DOCTOR.
Majority of Farmers are in need of reforms which can only come from people of knowledge and not a bunch of LAHTIYAs and DALALAs who are the cause.
