Should Agricultural Subsidies be stopped?

It should be reformed it is a corruption that named a subsidy.

A piece of agri equipment that subsidies by government you can have in 1000 Rs but if you want to get that equipment by subsidy.

It would be substandard and cost you 1200 by that you will get 250 Rs subsidy and it would cost you 950+ 2 month time to sanction subsidy and a month waiting to deposit in your account.

This is the case in biogas, water pump, thresher, Tyre etc.

I am a farmer subsidy in India is only for politician, higher officer, companies like iffco, and store keeper, orthopedist dealer for government supply.

Farmer stands nowhere in subsidy.

No, I am not agree with the topic. Agriculture is backbone of our country. Jai jawan jai kisan, a slogan given by former PM, L. B. Shastri, shows the importance of agriculture in our country. Government should not stop agriculture subsidies to farmers. Before giving the subsidies govt. Should get the proper information on the numbers of farmers living below poverty line. A farmer with ac, car etc can not be poor.

Govt. Should take care of thing that rich farmers should not get unnecessarily the benefit from the subsidies which are meant for poor farmers. Govt must collect the information regarding the economic status of the farmers, then it should distribute subsidies. Norms must be set by the government so that it can categorise the rich & poor farmers.

At last I would like to say that govt. Should not be"lenient, it should be Smart enough" to do justice with farmers and not let the to cheat it.

Agricultural sector comprises 57% of population. It means 57%of population depends directly or indirectly upon agriculture for their livelihood. Subsides though cost on taxpayer is boon to Indian economy. Subsides in form of MSP, direct or indirect farm subsides substantiates nations inclusive growth strategy.

Substantial part of Food security comes through MSP which support 75% of urban population and 65% of urban, midday meals which has provided food to nearly 12 crore children's, food stored in buffer stock are also utilized for export when nation is need to reduce current account deficit. Subsidies food is only support to our entire BPl population.

We all know that India is having a population of 1.2 billion people. Therefore, we need more food to feed our people. Decades ado, agriculture output had a major contribution in our GDP.

However, we need technical advancement and innovative ways to produce more on the same land.

Farmers are getting assistance from the government in form of subsidy. There is certain scheme launched in subsidies form to provide basic benefits to the farmers.

Hi there.

As we know that India is known as an agricultural country. Till date, its 70% population is dependent on agriculture. Millions of people are below the poverty line. In Maharashtra & some other states too, farmers are committing suicides in lack of resources. Farmers are not getting enough profit to grow themselves. According to my point of view, agricultural subsidies shouldn't be stopped because farmers are not financially independent to help themselves.

Farmers must unite and along with the support of common must pressurize the government to design such a system so that middleman are removed who are to large extent responsible for the price hikes so that govt have farmers product on a much lower rate and with profits they earn they can further increase the subsidies for the farmer.

Hi Everyone, According to me agricultural subsidy could not be stopped. Approximately 70% of people are depend on agriculture. Farmers in India are very poor they couldn't buy expensive instruments to plough fields, so subsidy is must. But some farmers are very rich they are taking advantage of that so government should make the boundry by which only poor people take advantage of that.

In my opinion govt should give subsidy on that items which is used by all marginal/small and big farmers like seeds, fertilizers. In our country big farmers does not means that they are millionaire they are big because they have big land holdings. Govt should not give subsidy on costly technology because it leads to develop corruption and most of the time subsidy won't reached to the farmers, in India if government issue one rupee then. 25 rupees will go to the beneficent account rest. 75 rupees will kept by the people involve in that particular process. Hence in my opinion either Government should not give subsidy to the farmers or govt. Should correct all the channel and make the process transparent. The best option is instead of giving subsidy Govt. Should provide proper market for the agriculture product because agriculture is the only sector where most of the time producer are not getting 1/3 of the cost of production. So govt. Should think about to develop a such market where any farmers can sell their product at the price decided by farmers.

as per my opinion Government Should Give Subsidy on Agriculture but Government need to work on The channel to provide Subsidy to farmer. because the Current Channel to serve the Subsidy is not properly reach to Farmers .only 25% is reach to farmer & remaining 75 % Subsidy is Utilized By the Mediates

Large Percentage of Farmer have less land also illiterate & less Educated ,there are a lot of Obstacles to reach the Subsidy

the Another benefit of Subsidy is that Subsidy in cash basis which Generate More employment as well as increase Satisfactory level in to the beneficiary & also

At percent time Agriculture passing from a challenging way that is to providing the Food all the population which is increasing very fast. we have Limited Source( Agriculture Land),that by we need to farming with modern Agriculture technology

to adopt the Modern technology which is Very Costly for Small & marginal Farmer so they Need Financial(Subsidy) from Government

Agriculture role in Country GDP is 18% So this is the Big Nos & Also need to Boost in The way of Subsidy

Agricultural subsidies should not be stopped but it should be done in an efficient manner so that the needed farmers or poor farmers who are not financially stable can get these facilities and their situation can be improved. Government should have all the details of farmers and on the basis of that list distribution should be done. They should provide subsidies category wise. Improvement in the agricultural sector is one step towards the development of our country.
