Everybody knows that farmer produces food grain what they take as food. Everybody should understand that farmer not only gives us food he also supplie oxygen from his plants/crops. He plays a role to make rain by transpiration from his plants. He only gets a little money for his food. But what about the oxygen and rains made by him.
Indian Agricultural Sector has many challenge on its field. Brilliant Brains of India don't involve them in this sector as it is not so worthy to them. Larger percentage of Indian farmers have less land and are basically illiterate or less educated -these are the obstacles to understand and apply the technology. Moreover the Government Subsidies don't reach to themselves as the larger part of the subsidies are theft by the middlemen or bought by the rich farmers. Due to gambling on monsoon and for less use of Alternative methods like Crop Rotation have made it riskier whereas Crop Insurance facility to the farmers are not so wide. In the case of Irrigation, they are more dependent on Underground Water and lesser in Canal Water -which is more costly. The Infrastructure of Storing Crop, like Cold Storage are not available on every area -this is why 30% of Yearly Production of Vegetables in India are rotten.
Unarguably every farmer needs subsidy in present political system.Subsidy can be removed provided farmers are given the opportunity to fix price for their products like others in other sectors and are allowed to export their products with out govt intervention.if every thing goes goes fine and once the product comes to market, minimum support price that is promised to the farmer is not given many times.People want all the pulses, food grains, milk, meat, eggs at a cheaper price and no one fights for the farmer who feeds billions of mouths.If oil companies go in to losses govt jumps in and increases price more than 10 to 15 times in few years and why not the same for the poor farmer?
one need to notice that Indian youth are no longer interested in doing farming. Number of youth doing farming are decreasing to a greater extent. None neither the farmers son nor the farm workers son interested nor their parents want their kids to do farming. This explains the scenario. Who is going to feed billions of mouths.As rightly said by our fromer president Sh. Abdul kalam "JAI JAWAN JAI KISAN JAI VIGYAN". Scientific measures should be implied to improve the coniditions of agriculture. Another green revolution should come in India.
