Reconciliation is not easy.


Kisan Andolan coverage is still superficial in the major media of the country. Even so, cine journalists in India are on ration cards, but agriculture journalists have no trace. Different frequencies and trends of recession have now included the Indian Rural market. Last year's surveys show that consumption of products and goods in Indian rural markets has reached a seven-year low. That is, the real picture of Indian rural development and agricultural welfare has now come to the surface contrary to the drum that the Government has been playing continuously. The cause of the Kisan agitation is not only topical, it is also that the farmers are sad and don't want to be sad anymore. For the past three years, the support prices announced by the government in the country's agriculture sector have been lower than the market prices for many crops. That is, the government has also used a trick so that it does not have to buy the farmers' products at subsidized prices.

Farmers in Maharashtra's Vidarbha had earlier staged a major agitation over support prices, but it did not yield any significant results. The fate of all the agricultural movements in our country is that the agriculture sector does not get any results as a result. The farmers of Vidarbha also got only reassurance. Even in the Kisan movement which is advancing towards Delhi now, the government will give only vain assurances with free hand in every negotiation. Even so, the farmers of Maharashtra are very advanced compared to other farmers in the country. One of the reasons for this is that Sharad Pawar, who has not been very successful in his political career and shines at the middle and upper middle level, has genuinely cared for the farmers of his state. It is different that today the Marathi farmers are also alienated from Sharad Pawar.

Pawar added the wages of all household members, rent of land even if own, fertilizer, seed, water and fodder, while determining the prevailing prices of cotton during his golden age. Due to this, before the state government of Maharashtra announces the support price, the standard set by the agricultural produce is high and the support price comes on top of that, so Marathi farmers have become very high in the last decade. The economic progress of Marathi farmers has been unprecedented. We have not yet adopted any scientific method for determining support prices in Gujarat. Due to this, every year the government reduces the stock of agricultural products including cotton very low.

The main reason why the rupee has stopped circulating in the Indian village community is that the farmers have not been able to clear their old debts while waiting for the loan waiver and because of this the central and other cooperative banks are not allowing them to raise new dues. Co-operative credit societies have been active in providing financial assistance to farmers from time to time, but the withdrawals are used only for harvesting seasonal crops. That is, investment is made in taking every crop, so that rupee is not seen circulating in the market. Another reason is that the Indian village society has very limited its needs during the recession. Neither the state nor the central government has a single plan for the Indian rural economy that can revive the grassroots pulse through various productive activities.

His activities are seen as if any state finance minister, including the finance minister of the country, has no interest at all in the rural economy. Even the Finance Ministers do not have enough time to look at the economic context of the villages which Gandhi ji continuously undertook various activities to settle the villages till his lifetime. It was expected that the Modi government would raise the MNREGA payment standards and increase the number of working days in its second innings, but it has not yet been implemented permanently. That is, MNREGA cannot do anything in today's inflation in the picture of unemployment for farm laborers in rural areas.

Today's Kisan leaders have updated information. Kisan leaders are presenting the details of how much and how the government has waived off debts in the corporate sector. It is not easy for the government to find or devise a plan of reconciliation. This movement will have a very serious impact on the Lok Sabha elections.
