About what we’re gonna discuss

• We aim at finding the problems of our farmers who are considered as the builders of our Nation.

• This short presentation is going to discuss the problems and feasible solutions in the area of farming in India.

• We Welcome you all to our presentation.

Main Problems Indian Farmers face• Credit related issues-Adequate and

timely credit is not given and there are undue delay in dispensation of credit (A.P, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Tripura)

• Scales of finance-The scale of finance fixed by the authorities is inadequate as the farm labour has become costly.

Main Problems Indian Farmers face (contd.)

• Documentation and Security norms-Some of the farmers has expressed unhappiness about the security norms and the documentation process.

• Small artisans/self employed persons not being able to acces bank credit due to stringent collateral security norms.

Main Problems Indian Farmers face (contd.)• Lack of awareness about schemes-No

proper communication of terms and conditions like rate of interest and repayment period, repayment schedule, amount of instalments etc. was made to the borrowers.

• Another problem encountered by the farmers is that the cooperative system still continues to insist on lifting of the “kind” component of the crop loan. This deprives the farmers of the freedom of choice of inputs.

Marketing related issues-There is a huge difference in retail price and farm gateprice and the same should be plugged through appropriate market intervention. Thesupport prices for various crops are to be announced in the beginning of the season and future trading in agricultural produce is to be encouraged to enable farmers to plan agricultural operations.(Andhra Pradesh)

Market stabilisation and intervention should be ensured by Government to encourage the farmers to increase productivity of their farms. (Gujarat)

Main Problems Indian Farmers face (contd.)

Giant coorporates work with greedy Governments to introduce Genatically Modified Crops (GMC)which put a lot of unwanted Financial loads on farmers.

Farmers do not get the support of society and Governmet to face bad econom situations and they end up their lives.

Solutions"India does not have to forget that it is a net Agricultural Producing country”.

“The Agriculturists we must be united”. We must avoid the coorporate lobbies hidden business tricks and help farmers.

“Government should facilitate farming by giving good options for the farmers to sustain.”

“We work to give foods to the Country".

“The governors must know, that without us cannot work”.

“Our children must learn; that it is a pride to be Agriculture”.
