Farmers continuously going in loss
I verified it with my grand father,Shri Surendra Singh (Village-Saharkundi ,Post-Thatha,Thana-Mansi,District-Khagaria), who is a farmer,he was also of the same view. He said that after NDA government came into power fertilizers, irrigation service and seed became more costly. And selling price of maize crop went down.
In UPA time they used to purchase DAP at ₹1000/50kg,irrigation was ₹120/hour, seed was ₹1000/4kg.
Now DAP is ₹1200/50kg,irrigation is ₹140/hour and seed is ₹1400/4kg.Moreover they have not got even a single coin as crop damage compensation.
Earlier they used to sell maize at ₹1200-₹1400/quintal but now they have to sell it at ₹900-₹1000/quintal.
The scene is clear that farmers are continuously going in loss and under the burden of debt.You will say that now they can take loan from bank but corruption in banking sector is major hurdle for them.
Although NDA government can boast of making India a better place to invest but what about a state like Bihar where more than 80% population is dependent on agriculture.
The problem of farmers should be solved. I hope soon some positive steps will be taken by the government for the welfare of farmers more
