We all know that in our India most of the peoples were farmers and high production was there in our India. But now a days people is not interested in agriculture field. The government gives many subsidies and helpful things for farmers but the things is not getting to them because the government offices and panjayath offices are disturbing the by asking many proofs and asking money. Therefor we people and government should understand these things and must do something to overcome this problems.

Since agriculture is backbone of India there is a need for supporting farmers by some way. So according to my view agricultural subsidies are one of the good method which give help to the farmers when he is in problem. But the main problem in this system is the subsidies are not reaching to poor farmers, only rich peoples are getting the advantage of these policies. There should be nationwide campaign to make aware about subsidies in illiterate farmers and correct person should get advantage.

Hi.

Good morning everyone.

India is a second largest populated country in the world. Till date, it's 70% of the people depends on agriculture. India is an agriculture formost country. Indian agriculture plays the vital roal in Indian economy. Indian economy and agriculture bondage to each other. 50% of India economy depends on agriculture.

So, my opinion is agriculture subsidies should not be stopped and Indian government should also improve and spared the agriculture.

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.

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.

As we all know India is a agriculture based country. More than 66% of population depends upon agriculture. And farmers are the only people who is taking care of our resources. So that's our duty to provide help by giving subsidies. By doing this government increase their moral and they take more interest in agriculture as its a good source of income for them. And also it directly helps our economy and we are able to keep your resources safe.

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.

Subsidy should be reduced. I would like to suggest two types of subsidy to be Encouraged mean those people achieving their targets (Subsidy received for Improving Agriculture) to encourage and motivating purposes we could give the subsidy By doing this the people are in future too volunteer involve agriculture. The other one is as usual here wasting or unnecessary subsidy should be controlled which makes people irresponsible and lazy.

In my view, these subsidies should not be stopped. As most of our population depends on agriculture, these subsidies will enable them to do agriculture, thereby we can increase agriculture productions. Food is the basic need of every man, so if there is no agriculture how can we survive. Also by increasing the production we can top up our exporting, and thereby we can increase our foreign cash reserves. This will boost up an economy.

I think, subsidies is must for each and every farmer either they are rich or poor. To being a rich farmer is not a crime. If govt provide subsidies along with proper gideline to farmer. Then the food crisis in India will completely end. Also, it is a right of each and every one to eate food and by the help of agriculture subsidies food will become cheap to every it automatically help to the farmer and every people in India.
