Farmers' Income: Will India be able to double it in next 5 years?

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.

I think that the income of farmers can be doubled only if they get the right resources to do farming and in this the primary body responsible is the government. Giving 4000 Rs/yr or redemption of farm loan is not the solution to the problems faced by the farmers. Rather, we should provide them with low interest and easy bank loans, onsite water facilities and cheap pesticides so that they can earn maximum profit. If these practices are followed seriously then yes we can say that the farmers income will be doubled.

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.

To increase farmer's income, present government has increased the MSP of crops. With 'make in India' program, government has made many industries to depend on farmers for raw materials. Not only domestic companies but foreign companies like Walmart also depend upon farmers for various products. With the help of digitalisation, it has been made possible for the farmers to know the prevailing market prices of their products in the market. This helps them to sell their output at reasonable price. Also, they can know about the weather conditions as well because of digitalisation.

Hello friends,

I agree with all your points. My point in doubling farmers income is by adopting integrated farming system. Annual income of a farmer is approximately 60000 rupees per annum, so how can he cope with the incresing demands of daily needs. In order to overcome and to strengthen farmers financial status Integrated farming should be adopted and govt should provide subsidies on sheep rearing, biogas plant setup and cattle, diary and poultry so farmer can get income all over the year instead of sticking to seasonal cultivation he attains constant income. Manure obtained from cattle and poultry is also used in crop field which reduces the cost of production on fertilizers.

Coming to marketing point of view. Govt should avoid interaction of middle men in buying their produce instead govt should directly setup organisations to buy the produce directly in respective areas and as all the prices of petrol diesel and daily commodities are increasing. Similarly minimum support price of the farmers produce should be increased to double farmers income.

Thank you.

Today, I am here to discuss the topic whether for the next 5 years, annual income of farmers will increase or not.

In my opinion for the past few years, govt repeating that they will increase money for farmers. But, years had passed. But, income had not increased. Many farmers left the hope of increasing income. Also many are leaving farming jobs and moving to the city for income.

As we know, Farmers are the backbone of India. But, slowly the percentage of farming land is decreasing. This is because no farmer is willing his son to do farming as the income is low.

Centuries have passed many companies have been built, but the income of farmers is the same.

I conclude with a quote "Jai Jawan, Jai Kishan".

Farmers income will double in the next 5 years. When they start NATURAL FARMING.

Due to chemical fertilizers the soil becoming unfertile. The food which farmers cultivate from chemical farming is similar to poison. It also effects our health.

So, I think if farmers start NATURAL FARMING then and then the income will double because in natural farming as compared to chemical farming the investment is less. Of course, the result of natural farming is positive but it requires time as more than 3 years to become soil fertile.

As we know that farmer is the backbone of our country. Due to increasing population, their lands are decreased. If we want to double the income of farmer then the farmer should do organic farming because organic farming there crops price is high. It's demand also high. Govt should to give subsidy for farmers to motivate them. Govt launched many schemes like PM Kissan Nidhi yojana. In this scheme, govt give 6000 per annum for farmers. Our govt should start a campaign to give knowledge to farmers about technology because nowadays many farmers are illiterate. By taking these steps farmer income increased.

Hello,

I am Saurabh.

I am very glad for that, I have a great opportunity to share my opinion in this thought.

I am satisfied that the farmer's income should be double in the coming few years. Farmer's are the backbone of India. The government also helped them to encourage farming. Government starts many champaigns in rural areas. A large amount of income in India comes from cultivation & agricultural programmes, and a big part of GDP is balanced by it. But we see that some previous year ago, farmers commit suicide due to lack of machines, and many other domestic reasons. But I hope that the government should understand their problems in agriculture areas. Soo, I should say the farmer's income should double in a few years if the government take some strong steps for farming.

Hello Friends.

I'm glad to share my thoughts with you all on such a crucial topic.

As we all know the people of our country or let's say a large number of our population are dependent on farming. As farmers should get exclusive rights for their crops it is only happening on paper, in reality, they are not even getting the correct price for their crops. Our honorable government has launched many schemes but they are in vain if the people are not connected to technology which is the case most of the time. The change will happen but it is hard to say if it will take five years or ten years.

Thank you.
