Should Agricultural Subsidies be stopped?

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.

Indian economy was totally a agrarian economy at the time of independence. Agriculture sector had almost 50% of its share in the economy. But presently service sector contributes very huge amount in the Indian economy, this is because of the bad condition of the farmers. Agriculture hugely depends upon climate, weather conditions and we can say that on nature. To invest in this sector is very risk thing. But Nowadays to invest in other sectors is more beneficial than this one.

So to boost farmers to remain in this field it is very necessary and important to provide subsidies to the farmers. Subsidy given by the central government totally depends upon the state government efforts. Recently lot of money was given to punjab and Haryana farmers because of less rain in these areas. So to boost agriculture exports it is very important to motivate the farmers by giving them financial help.

Hi,

Its necessary to keep the farmers occupied with agriculture as India, with its burgeoning population, needs food sufficiency on a long term basis. However, agriculture is not a lucrative occupation in India. Ask farmers' children and their answer is straight : they do not want to engage in agriculture.

Hence, it is necessary to keep this sector subsidised. There are challenges in dispensing subsidies to this sector. But the short cut which govt is trying to adopt by dispensing subsidies in cash will not have the desired impact. Here, govt may be able to dispense subsidies but it may not be a step towards increasing productivity.

One more point I would like people to dwell on is : How Agreement On Agriculture of WTO, signed by India, will impact India's food security policy. I have read reports which suggest that India will have to bear heavy penalty if its subsidy crosses 10%.

Hai friend, this is my view we all know that India is a agricultural country here most of people are depend on agriculture. Indian farmer is very poor because of indeterminate and most of people is illiterate that how to sell the aggro product. And on other side farmer use the traditional way of production because of poverty they are not capable to bye the any latest technology so production and productivity may decrease. So, the government must be help to our farmer in way of subsidies, provide the latest technology at low rate and give the knowledge about the seed.

Like use of scientific concept which kind of seed will suitable for which kind of land with verification. And for buying basic material seed, urea for that also government help them via subsidies. If our farming will improve more and more it give the low unemployment as well better rewards then other sector.

Hi friends. According to me giving subsidies to farmer is very important, but you know subsidies are given for the economical development of farmers. But in India farmer make miss use of those subsidies. The main reason behind the miss use of subsidies is illiteracy. Hence farmers are illiterate they do not know how to use those subsidies for their development. Result of this farmers depends on the person who provides subsidies from the Government and those people takes bribe from the farmers against providing the subsidy. So farmers are unable to get the complete subsidies given by the government By this corruption occur. Subsidy is imp. But government Has to find the right person who really need that and also had to propose the different ideas by which a farmer make himself economically stable. And as the time goes the subsidies has to be reduced one by one.

Hello friends, As we know the topic that "Should Agricultural Subsidies be stopped?".

Off course not, because farmer is the king in India. India is totally depend upon agriculture. More than 70% of population is concerned with agriculture Which is the basic need of the world's 100% population as we all need food for survival which comes completely from agriculture.

In fact Agriculture Plays a vital role in Indian economy. But agriculture production will be helpful only when it is produced in large quantity and it is only possible when farmer have the proper agricultural tools, fertilizers, water sprinklers as well. That's why the subsidies should be given to the farmer but there should be implementation that to be given only to the needy farmers not to a rich one.

As an Agriculture Engineer, I say that Indian people are most Dependent on agriculture land only. And nowadays except some state most of the farmer is becoming small and small as a point of the land holder and nowadays equipment and its operations becoming costly day by day. And also hybrid seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides are same as that. But after they harvesting their crops they can not get a proper rate of their output which they deserve.

But in matter subsidy, the motto of government is not to give them subsidy as cash to survive them but it's only that farmers should adopt new modern farming like adopting micro irrigation systems, green houses net houses, solar systems and other many equipment.

So I do not agree to stop subsidies for agriculture.

Thanks.

Agricultural subsidies should be never stopped in India, because in total farmers of India about 80% of them are small scale land holders (less than 2 acre) and remaining are medium and large. If these are stopped then how do they sustain, how do agricultural production will increase. Now the per capital availability of food in our country is less than half of the available.

Government must support for subsidies for agricultural implements to land enrichment and providing seeds at cheaper rates to all those land holders.

Government should also examine the farmers who really eligible to it. If these conditions mis-result to rich farmer- India will never reach to developed country results rich becomes too rich poor becomes too poor. Please support from your side.

Hello friends.

Agriculture is a most important factor in our life. We are already know if agriculture dose not have so we can not survive. We are dependent on agriculture. Agriculture do by the formers. Lets come on subsidies for agriculture. First we analyze who can do agriculture. Most of the formers poor if subsidies no give to formers. So formers leave the agriculture and we are also know economy also depends on agriculture. In agriculture formers get profit most of the time but get loss also. In nowadays climate system are change so formers bear loss in agriculture and we know formers depends on only agriculture system if government do not give subsidies so formers how can manage agriculture and than may be leave. So, that should not stopped subsidies.

The answer is an obvious NO. We are talking about the people who are literally our saviors. Already they do suffer a lot due to the fact that there are many middle men standing before them, who would take some serious share from their hardly earned profit (just because they are illiterate and don't know how to deal with the main party).

So, now as they have a fare chance to get some help from govt, that should never be stopped.

But, only one concern at this point, govt needs to make sure there should be a proper system to hand over the money to the concerned parties directly.

And one more thing, if the money provided to the farmers become inversely proportional to the amount of land they possess, that can be the most beneficial sight one can aspire for.
