Agriculture subsidy should not be stopped but the agriculture policy, implementation process and budget allocation should be revised. Owing to rigid implementation process most of the farmers special small, marginal and women farmers are deprived of the goverment schemes and programmes. For example, As you know, women are working longer hour in agriculture field from transplanting to post harvesting management but only 5% of women having landholding (Pata) remaining 95% of women farmers have no Pata. Due to nonavailability of Pata, they are deprived of the credit facility and also other government schemes and programmes.

No, agricultural subsidies should not be stopped because more than 2/3rd of the population depends on it.

Farmers are struggling with the problems like low income, less crop per hectare, the low selling price of their corp etc. If we stop the subsidies the situation will get more worse. But the govt should also try to find out the root cause behind this. Why we are providing subsidies to farmers answer is clear because of low income and low MSP. Then what is the reason behind low income? Clearly due to old traditional method of farming. This is the root cause. I think if some part of subsidies is transferred to this problem. We definitely get better results.

It should not be stopped, as it is the only way through government can help to farmers to get their startups. Financial problems of the farmers are the only root cause problem. If the government is helping in that then farmers will definitely show their willing power to set their startups and after that, they can flourish their business in a good manner and will help to the country to raise its GDP.

It motivates the public to start their own business. Many of different professions are getting their attention towards agriculture sector and wants to their business in that. They are leaving their job and devoting their remaining life to the agriculture.

I don't think that agriculture subsidies be stopped because we are agriculture based country and just because of agriculture our GDP is growing, if we don't give him subsidies then our state going to be troubled, our farmers can't do anything, then they also want a good salary job and it's a requirement for there own Life because they have a family.

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.

In my opinion, the agricultural subsidies shouldn't be stopped. Because as we know around 75% of people in our country are directly and indirectly dependant upon agriculture and we also know howthe most of the farmers in our country live in miserable conditions. Getting two times of food is very difficult for them. Then how can we want them to work in field in difficult situations and produce food for us if they have don't money to invest. Atlest. The government Should help them by giving them subsidies.

Good evening friends, in my point of view agricultural subsidy should not be stopped. It is a initial help of our farmer. Our 75 % population live in village. This population directly or indirectly depends on farming. Indian farmer are very poor, it is due to the oldest way of farming, low selling price, less government support, lack of education. Indian farmer are the backbone of our GDP. If we stop the agricultural subsidy, then during bad time (cyclone, flood, drought) our farmer helpless. The are force to change their profession and they are searching different occupation. It is due to they doesn't got the actual price of his crop or any other necessary help from government They are spending more money and time in his crop and got less price in compression to expenditure and labouring incurred on his crop. Our former are doing very hard work in his field and faced the lots of problem like cyclone, drought, flood, landslide, these all directly affect the farmer. Due to these natural climate farmer all crop is damaged and he got stressed and taking wrong decision like suicide. To overcome this problem subsidy should be necessary to farmer. Indian government need to improve the oldest way of farming and spread the awareness in the farmer about modern agriculture. Govt also need to improve the system and monitor that subsidy actually go to right hand, maximum people those are not a farmer also got the subsidy, system need to scrutiny these cliprt and stop the subsidy and give him actually that person those who are actually liable for this. Govt also take a decision on swaminathan committee and his good policy should be applied and need to be discussed in Parliament session and should be applied as soon as possible. Because every field of society need to reversion. Like pay commission in all sector. Indian farmer also need pay commission, they are also the part of nation.

Good Evening Friends,

According to me, Most of the Indian peoples were involve the agriculture. Because India is agriculture based country. It only focus to develop the agriculture. And also farmers are only hope about the agriculture subsidies. Because they are ready to involve the agriculture even young generation peoples also. It is helpful for making agriculture. So it should not be stopped the subsidies for agriculture. This is used to help their livelihood for so many peoples.

Thank You.
