To the benefit of Farmers of India.

The land of the farmers should be registered in government list first. Government should provide water facility, fertilizer and electricity to the farmers for their farming purposes.

At the time of yield in return 50% of crop can be purchased by the government at their rate also rest 50% can be hand over to the farmer for their survival.

In this way the government can practice the ignorance for sucidial activities for the benefit of the farmers.

The government and the farmers will be in equal profit.

Yes, I think in the upcoming 5 years the plans for farmers will be started accelerating.

We can observe the present government introducing lot of schemes, free electricity to farmers, solar energy, solar pumps, subsidy in purchasing seeds, training farmers to chemical-free farming Etc.

Nowadays we can observe the vegetables of farmers are directly sold to the retailer it means market. And hence more profit is earned by farmers.

Digitization, GST also helps to improve the condition of farmers. Gov should increase MSP and purchasing price from farmers.

So that farmers stop suicide.

Farming is the fundamental block of economy in our country, farmers work in the field throughout the year in harsh weather conditions in hope of good yield, but in some cases weather does not co-operate with them so government should help the farmer by should decrease farming tax and provide free electricity for farming purpose so if government Will able to give double income to farmer it's very good for farmer and also for the country in a path of substantial and developed nations.

Farming is an age-old activity that has achieved the title of the backbone of India.

Certainly, farmers income can be doubled in the coming years. First of all, let's analyze the sources of a farmer's income:

1. Crops.
2. Vegetables.
3. Dairy.
4. Flowers.

The major part of income is from cultivation. Of course increase of MSP is a viable solution but other alternatives could be providing subsidized fertilizers and seeds, encouraging scientific farming and discouraging the participation of middlemen in producing the harvested crop to the market. Government policies should focus on maximizing their reach to the farmers. Benefits of scientific farming should be made known to farmers and optimum use of the available land for cultivation should be taught. Instead of growing one crop, mixed cultivation can be given a thought so that a farmer earns money from both primary and secondary crops (flowers or vegetables) grown in the same land at the same time. Schemes like made in India can widen their scope by encouraging local handlooms and crafts and providing incentives to farmers to take up the plantation required to meet the demands of the local craft industry. Involvement of middleman can be checked by digitalization such as launching apps that directly make farmers meet their customers and are rightly paid for their judicious efforts.

The government can plan to set up dairy centres in a group of villages thus encouraging farmers to take up dairy activities and at the same time making India self-sufficient in dairy production. Schemes to provide farmers with cow 9at cheaper rates) can be a boon.

Thus with the aforementioned strategies and digitalization, we can certainly achieve the goal of increasing farmers income.

Thank you!

We all know that the farmer is a backbone to our country. Yes, It's doubled. If Government treated them with care and responsibility as they take their part to avoid the corruption. Lack of knowledge about technology changed in the farming, a farmer also loses their confidence and go to other parts of the country for their surveillance or leaving this world by suicides.

This will be eliminated by us since this is our nation. Every individual has to take the responsibility to aware the farmers about the technology in farming and cultivation. Even the government can change their policies towards farmers if we are with one voice since that government is built by each and every person in this country. If we are providing such a support and respect over the farmers they felt confident and do their job to the country. This is my opinion, Thank you.

I extremely agree with the fact that farmers are the backbone of India and the economy of our country.

Yes, India can double their income if the ministries and govt insist. Even though the farmers are bothered about their income they are too busy in doing their crops. Then who will fight for them?! Who is gonna force the government to recognize their efforts and struggles? This is the only question I ever knew that remains long lasting since so long. Imagine if all their struggles suggest them to take some poision and end their lives themselves? who else gonna farm? There is no nepotism when it comes under this particular thing called FARMING! I think it is the best solution that can be provided by THE GOVT OF INDIA to double their income (not expenses of course). Atleast it helps to manage some of their issues. And GOVT should keep this in mind to not to cease the farming acres and places in the name of ROADS, CONSTRUCTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT. And the people of urban areas should be grateful and supportive towards THE FARMERS.

Hii friends,

Farmers income will rise one day when a man realizes that it is not a job it is a necessary thing. Now all are encouraging farmer but we don't know the value for farmer's job.

In upcoming years, the person with farming land is the richest man. So the farmer's position will change one day. Youth move their footprints to do farming.

So all of you.

" Try to do farming or just stay with the farmer To learn farming".

Good Morning Friends,

According to me, farming is backbone of our country. If it is not, we cannot live in the world. But in this generation peoples are not able to understand about the farming culture. Because farming process is going to be unconditional level in India.

Technology will increase day by day. So we are accepting this life. But farming will be grow to next level. We are supporting farming and farmers. This is very important economic in our India. So, farmer's income is double it in next five years. And also improve our farming culture using technology development.

Thank You.

Definitely, it will double because farmers are most hard working people in our country. Hard workers achieve their development in future.
