Sometimes ago Mr. Pawar told farmers that they should leave the farming.This was the worst advice given by minister in the Indian farming history.Indian farmers are not a basically farmers by profession but they are farming because their father did this.They are emotionally attached to the farming. Currentaly lot of educated people doing farming as a hobby.Are they knowing that how much amount of money is required for farming? Their livelihood is not depend upon agriculture so they can not exactly predict money matters.
Base of our country is always agriculture.During the sixties agriculture revolution takes place in Punjab & Haryana.This was capital based revolution.It has required huge capital as well as fertilizers, pesticides,serviced of tractor all this thing required huge money.So what happened input cost of agriculture becomes very huge as compared to output.
America is role model of our development. In US there are 4% people who's livelihood is depend upon agriculture but in India 60% people depend upon agriculture.America provides 50 to 100% subsidies to their crops In India subsidies are cutting down so how can we compare to US economy.
Currently if we take survey regarding the employment opportunities no one will tell you that they want to be a farmer because farming is not lucrative job today.government doesn't provide insurance coverage or doesn't have fix policies.In Maharashtra their are 140000 farmers done suicide in last 11 yrs.So what Mr. Pawar said was badly true.
