Agriculture contributed 15.79% to India’s Gross Domestic Product in 2013-14 at current prices as per Ministry of Statistics. The sector employs 49% of the country’s population. According to survey conducted by the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies ( CSDS) for Bharat Krishak Samaj, a farmers’ association, 62% of farmers are ready to quit farming for a good job in the city.

I think the below mentioned ideas would not help to the farmers because of some corrupt people. Government need to work at ground level for those who are fighting with themselves for survival. We need to come with some full-proof plan, through which we can bring smile on the faces who really need it.

3) Banks must support their stakeholders(who in this case – farmers in large numbers) by providing advice on market, statistical analysis of returns from the crop as well increasing their financial awareness that the returns earned currently with the crop grown using loan is atleast better than the capital returns at which economy grows. Banks as you rightly noted are a serious interface with farmers but aren’t significantly stepping up on increasing the stakeholder awareness

Dear Shri PM, Truly impressed with your speech at the 80th anniversary function of RBI where you talked about banks taking responsibility into addressing farmers’ plight which sometimes pushes them to take extreme step of ending life as result of being unable to pay back bank loan. Yes, the banks does enjoy the significant interest returns from these loans considering the high interest rates in India as well many a times government stepping in to assure banks of paying farmers loans

Our farmers, broadly depend on nature. When crops are destroyed, there is an alternative. Farmers must use organic compounds to grow crops artificially through genetics. Using Gibberlin for instance, can raise bumper crops within a few days. Let us give it a try. Best of luck.
