Should Agricultural Subsidies be stopped?

No - As per my opinion, any kind of subsidy given to farmers and the poor people of India should not be reduced or abandoned. I agree to the fact that nowadays our agriculture is not contributing much to national income as comparing to the era of post independence, but we should remember that this agriculture is feeding lakhs of farmers and their families in our country. Our country need to diminish the gap, which has occurred between upper class and lower class. For that government must have its policies to subsidize the poor living below standards & not by stopping subsidy.

My dear friends.

India is an agrarian country. Agriculture is the main occupation. Many people depend upon agriculture. Due to tough competition and the increased number of intermediaries, farmers are not getting their minimal value of production. So in order to support the farmers subsidies are really useful. If not provided what is the effect of remaining in the same field where they does not get even earnings for their daily bread. So these subsidies should not be stopped. As it bridges the gap between large capital intensive and poor farmers. By providing subsidies to the needed category govt giving justice to them by providing an hope that one day they will be also become a competent force by attaining equality. Thank you.

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.

Indian economy is an agrarian economy. Most of the exports products or the export basket consist of agricultural products. Since independence agricultural production has increase from thousands to millions. This great jump of the agricultural production is due to the special emphasis by the ruling government in their 10 year as well as in 5 year plans. Huge amt of subsidies were and are granted for the globalization and modernization of the global export basket and consumption basket and actually the agricultural production has diversified in years passed by and are diversifying in years to come.


In every budget there has been an allocation of the subsidy amount and during the years subsidy get increased many times sometimes its natural reasons sometimes its due to some other but material personal benefits. So, I am of the opinion that a fast and accurate track or path should be formed so that the subsidies granted is equal to the benefits of the full amount. No misappropriation or dumping of the subsidy amount should be made so that Indian agricultural field improves and leads to balance of payment surplus and reduced current account deficit.

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.

My answer is no. Agricultural subsidies should not be stopped.

In this technologically advanced era, with the invent of new agricultural equipment which lead to higher yield, it is definitely required for the government to subsidies such products.

Only then the farmers would come forward to buy such equipment and hence get benefited.

Hello friends.

Here we are talking about the subsidies provided to the farmers.

Technically it should not be stopped because our country's economy is dependent on the agriculture and also, our country is said to be a land of fields.

Here, more than half of the population is farmer and being an Indian, we should think of them. This subsidy is provided to them so that they can take care of their fields and can get better facilities.

BUT what happens in India is that the thing do never reach to them, who are actually have right of that thing. That is also true in the case of subsidies.

The real amount don't reach to the farmers and instead of them, the middle persons (politicians and those who are involving in providing the subsidies) get the profit of that.

Providing subsidies will be helpful only if it reaches to the right hands which cannot be happen in India.

Therefore I would say that subsidies should be stopped because by providing these subsidies we are actually help the politicians to enjoy the subsidy and our farmers are suffering because of them.

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.

As we all know that in India the benefits do not reach to the needy person hands and same in agriculture sector. Indian are goods in planning but not in execution. Subsidies are mainly for the poor farmers. But in reality they do not get the the benefits and if somehow they get they are not in state to afford everything for an example a farmer is getting subsidies for buying a tractor but he can't afford the rest amount and maintenance and other necessary thing like water pump, electricity, etc, so they pass the benefits to the reach farmer.

And in most cases the rich farmers manipulated the his financial statement and manage to get the benefits. So my point of view here is that Govt should work hard to make a list of actual needy farmers and must ensure that poor farmers are enjoying the benefits and Govt should work to ensure that farmers can utilize the subsidiary or not, for an example free electricity is given but farmer does not have the money to get a water pump so what's the point of giving this type of subsidies.

No, never as INDIA is agricultural country it is our genuine business. If we will not provide subsidies then farmers won't be take chance of farming in difficult condition of weather. If farmers are not going to farm then.

And most important thing is that farming is totally depend on weather conditions. So it is risk if less rain or flood. And our economy is somewhat depend on agriculture.

That's why govt should provide subsidies for healthy environment for farmers and INDIA'S ROOT of business and everything.

GOVT. Must give them surety.
