Very happy to that the farmers are getting help.But i still feel this is not the right solution anytime we have any major issue we start giving soaps instead of tackling the problem at the grassroots level.Waiver,quota,free something will make thses guys take things for granted Instead the government should come up with some solutions.For example most of the farmers run into debt becuase of inconsitent monsoon so do something for the water which they need or natural calamities which lead to crops getting destroyed for this the government can start small industries in the villages something to alleviate thier pain so that they earn and not lose life or expect freebies.

Dude I thought of having a good debate on the WTO issue and its effect on our farmers but going by the "CLEANLINESS OF YOUR LANGUAGE" in your previous comment I think you are not worth enough for me to debate with.

They'll take it for granted??..... do you even know the kind of subsides the Indian farmers gets is PEANUTS compared to the subsidees an American Farmer or any other developed country farmer gets.... Farmers represent the majority of the population of our Country and unless they become economically strong there's no way we can become a developed country..... I'm so glad the government made this move.

They do mass production not like here just cultivating 4 or 5 acres. there just 2 or 3 person will cultivate 100 acres. here if you try to give that kind of subsidy many influence person will eat. there won't be accountability. best soulution may be incresing the minimum support price for the corps and ensuring that that reaches the farmers

The decision taken here by the government is for the benifit of the poor and needy farmers, there should be more such schemes to waiver off the dept of those who are struggling for two square meals a day.

How do you expect the farmers to become economically strong..keep giving freebies everytime they have some issues.Solution to make them economically viable is the need of the hour not giving freebies.Dont get me wrong i support this move.Hope it is one time and not everytime election comes near.
