A lot needs to change
by srinivasan mv on Feb 25, 2008 12:21 PM

The system of western type of farming should be stopped. Farmers have used pesticides, and harsh fertilisers on the soil and the food cycle is completely spoiled apart from dwindling production. This has also caused losses to the farmers.

The government should phase in the old way organic farming where fertilisers are cheaper for the farmers and are available in their backyard at a very cheap cost. Further the government should work on providing continuous supply of water by harvesting the rain and create agricultural educational institutions for the farmers and teach them methods to improve agriculture. If the government is not intersted in doing all this, there is no use of giving them subsidy or even write off. All agricultural sanctions should be routed through banks like Nabard so that corruption does not take place. Will Mr. FM listen to the genuine points?
