MyGov has released an excellent booklet "Putting Farmers First" which not only covers in detail the current #FarmLaws2020 but also lays out in structured summarized format the work done by the Modi government in the last 6 years.
Some snippets.
On the current #FarmLaws2020, there is much debate as to what may or may not happen.
WHAT WILL NOT HAPPEN
MSP will not go away; APMC Mandis will not close; Farmers land cannot be taken way
WHAT WILL HAPPEN
Farmers can sell in Mandis & outside; More income; More jobs. 2/10
So what was the need for #FarmLaws2020 reforms when as per Left groups all was well?
1) Fragmented markets
2) Insufficient markets
3) Inadequate Infra
4) Inadequate credit
While rest of the economy was opening up, farmers were restricted. Result - Huge Income Disparity. 3/10
What about the charge that there has not been adequate consultation before #FarmLaws2020 were passed?
THE TRUTH: Two decades of consultation. Farm Reforms are perhaps the only policy reforms where there has been consensus movement in SAME DIRECTION by multiple governments. 4/10
So what are the benefits of the law that allows the farmers to sell in APMC Mandis as at present but also, and importantly, anywhere outside?
1) Better price discovery for farmer
2) Converts present buyers market to sellers (farmer) market
3) Better logistics in rural areas
5/10
