Book Synopsis Agricultural Crisis and Farmers-Friendly Reforms in India by : G. Satyanarayana
Download or read book Agricultural Crisis and Farmers-Friendly Reforms in India written by G. Satyanarayana and published by . This book was released on 2018-09 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Fifth Annual Employment-Unemployment Survey of the Ministry of Labour and Employment, 45.7 percent of India's workforce in 2014-15 was employed in agriculture. Around 13 to 14 percent of India's national income originates from the agricultural sector. Agricultural sector, thus, occupies a key position in the Indian economy, at least in terms of employment. Regrettably, agricultural sector in India has been witnessing loss of dynamism in recent years. The sector, as a whole, has showed poor performance lately. Signs of agrarian distress are visible in parts of the country. The spate of suicides by farmers in some areas is the most disconcerting manifestation of this distress. Marginal and small farmers have borne the brunt of the adverse circumstances in agriculture. Agricultural crisis has increased overtime due to a number of reasons but mainly owing to widening disparities between agricultural and non-agricultural sectors, resulting in burgeoning gap between the incomes generated per worker from the two sectors. Concerned by the slow growth in the agriculture and allied sectors, the Government of India has launched a series of programmes/schemes in recent years to rejuvenate agriculture and improve farm incomes. These, inter alia, have included the following: Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) Pradhan Mantri Kisan SAMPADA Yojana Doubling Farmers Income by 2022-23 Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY) Farm Loan Waivers Under National Agriculture Market (e-NAM), farmers can sell their produce on the internet. e-NAM is envisaged as a pan-India electronic trading portal which seeks to network the existing agricultural produce market committees (APMCs) and other market yards to create a unified national market for agricultural commodities. e-NAM is a virtual market but it has a physical market (mandi) at the back end. India's future agricultural development will require much faster crop diversification in view of changes in consumption pattern. There is growing preference for milk and milk products, meat, poultry, fish, fruits and vegetables. Areas like horticulture and floriculture also hold promise as they have higher export potential. Accelerating the rate of growth of agricultural production must be seen as central to a more inclusive growth. It is imperative that the problems of farmers are addressed with a sense of urgency. The present work focuses on the issues and concerns impacting the Indian agriculture. More importantly, it explains the key reform measures undertaken in recent years to mitigate agrarian distress, modernize agriculture and improve the economic conditions of the farmers, particularly small and marginalized ones.

Download or read book Agrarian Crisis written by Emmadi Naveen Kumar and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-12-18 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India is among the fastest developing countries of the world. However, a major percentage of its population (60 to 70%) still depends on agriculture and its allied activities. Though many policies have been introduced to enhance its agriculture sector, it still faces a lot of challenges. In recent times the state of Andhra Pradesh, one of the major food grain producing states, has had the highest number of farmer suicides in the country, with Warangal witnessing the highest number amongst the districts in the state. This book attempts to figure out the various socio-economic reasons behind the agrarian crisis prevailing in that district and suggests some remedies to control the situation.

Book Synopsis The Crisis in Indian Agriculture by : Mohan Guruswamy
Download or read book The Crisis in Indian Agriculture written by Mohan Guruswamy and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those who want to be our rulers have to provide food to all citizens at reasonably affordable prices as well as to ensure that those who produce food have reasonable dividends for their products and labour. If there is rural indebtedness, then a solution has to be found; if there is a surplus production, then the farmers must not be made to incur a loss; if there is a shortage of pulses, wheat, or rice then the government must import, whatever the cost. Different players, internal and external, with different and varying assets, potential, resources and capacities compete to hijack the governmental policies in their favour. This is the basic stuff of political economy. Politicians and policy-advocates are battling in a game over which they do not have total control. The consequences are uneven, sometime even cruel. Mohan Guruswamy and his two colleagues have competently tried to cut through a very difficult and vex-atious subject, giving the trade-off involved in various choices. This study should stimulate an informed debate. From the Foreword by Harish Khare (The Hindu)

Book Synopsis Financial Crisis and Indian Agriculture by : D. Amutha
Download or read book Financial Crisis and Indian Agriculture written by D. Amutha and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural growth is a crucial element in resolving food price crises, enhancing food security, and accelerating pro-poor growth. After decades of policy neglect and underinvestment in public goods such as agricultural science, rural infrastructure, and information and monitoring, high food prices have provided some positive incentives for policymakers, farmers, and investors to increase agricultural productivity. By the end of the year 2008-2009, the global crisis had taken a substantial toll of India's economic performance but it was by no means catastrophic. The rate of economic growth had slowed to the 5-6% range in the second half of the year from the 9% average of the previous five years, but it was still much better than the negative growth rates in industrial countries and better than the performance of most significant developing countries with the exception of China.However, with the sudden shrinkage in world trade after September 2008, India's exports in January-Mary, 2009 were about 20% lower than in the previous year. This meant that hundreds of thousands of jobs were lost in sectors like garments, textiles, footwear and leather products and gems and jewellery. This paper try to answer the following questions: How did this global crisis come about? How severe is it and how long might it last? And against the backdrop of this world crisis, what are some of the priorities for India's agricultural sector.To conclude, the unprecedented global economic crisis has definitely taken a toll of India's economic performance. Most likely it has also reduced our potential for economic development in the next 3 or 4 years. However, despite the severity of the global crisis, India's economy has demonstrated considerable resilience, in part, thanks to the strength of our agricultural sector. With sound and determined economic policies we should be able to recover a growth momentum of 7-7.5% in a year or two. That will be a little less than our growth performance in 2003-2008. But it will be far better than nearly every other significant economy in today's world.

Book excerpt: One morning in 2014, Ramrao Panchleniwar, an ordinary cotton grower in Maharashtra's infamous Vidarbha region, consumed two bottles of pesticide in a bid to commit suicide.

He takes the reader on a journey of the everyday life of an Indian farmer, his daily struggles, his desperation to come out of his situation, his inability and many failings, the quagmire of issues he faces, and how he comes to a pass where he chooses to put an end to it all. The result of years of committed reportage, this is an evocative read that rescues an ordinary life from obscurity and turns it into an essential biography for our times.

Book Synopsis Farmers, Subalterns, and Activists by : Trent Brown
Download or read book Farmers, Subalterns, and Activists written by Trent Brown and published by . This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In theory, chemical-free sustainable agriculture not only has ecological benefits, but also social and economic benefits for rural communities. By removing farmers' expenses on chemical inputs, it provides them with greater autonomy and challenges the status quo, where corporations dominate food systems. In practice, however, organisations promoting sustainable agriculture often maintain connections with powerful institutions and individuals, who have vested interests in maintaining the status quo. This book explores this tension within the sustainable farming movement through reference to three detailed case studies of organisations operating in rural India.
