New Farm Bill is a proposition of the public authority which isn't just gone against by the resistance, yet additionally went against by the 25 years enduring companion of BJP, the Akali Dal. There are three points in these reforms:

  • Organizations can likewise pursue an immediate concurrence with ranchers and can do agreement cultivating.

The public authority says that these progressions will carry benefits to ranchers, and furthermore opportunity.

Till now, according to regulation, food grains and regular requirements can't be put away more than specific days. In any case, from this point, there's no restriction for putting away this multitude of fundamental items besides in crisis conditions (crisis conditions are the point at which the rates increment by 100 percent, and for short-lived horticultural items - half).

There are 14.5 crore agricultural operations in India, and 86% of these are small farmers and peasants i.e. those who have less than 5 acres of land. Which means, their economic situation is weak, many of them will already have loans also. So, they cannot store the crops till there is a demand and rate for the crop. They will obviously sell the crop. Ultimately, corporate companies will buy, store and will sell it when demand arrives, or, they can even create artificial crisis and then sell the products for high cost. Government also cannot do anything until the prices rise by a minimum of 50% - emergency circumstances.

There's no arrangement in the bill to assemble government cold-capacity units which will empower the ranchers to store their reaped crop for less expense. Thus, government gave free pass to corporate organizations to go into the farming business sectors.

The government is telling that farmers will surely get profits by these reforms, then, why can't they give the guarantee in the bill itself? Mention in the bill also, that farmers will get a minimum 50% profit as mentioned in your manifesto. Why don't you assure?

MSP is additionally not referenced in the bill, but rather PM Modi let in his discourse know that it will remain and go no place. In any case, how might we accept? Presently a-days, what is written in the actual law, there's no assurance, as we are seeing, GST cess isn't paid to the states which is referenced in GST Act. Only single word guarantee, how might we trust?
