As the farmer protests continue, Shekhar Gupta explains the need for reforms given that India's current agricultural policies are suited to when it was living a 'ship-to-mouth' existence. Now, India has more grain than it can eat or store. In episode 633 of Cut The Clutter, he explains the intricacies of Minimum Support Pricing, the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) Act and the meaning of crop diversification.

@@gmailaaaa see brother u can debate but what a clarity I know it becoz i come from Varanasi from eastern UP I know how hard life of farmer is and mandi are worst and same is like Bihar so understood it
Sir, I totally get your point. As a son of a farmer, what I saw was, most of the mass production depends on the person who gives the seeds to the farmers. Why can’t Indian government bring in those seeds in which we import from other countries and run in the similar manner. for example, I remember, we used to grow sunflower around 2010, now that the person does not come we won’t grow it anymore. Also, can you focus on methods that are needed for farmers to upgrade, otherwise, without much preparation, this will become another reform similar to demonetization.
I respect The Print and its journalism. But I strongly feel that Shekhar Gupta has been very one sided and biased on this topic. Why hasn't he for once in any of his shows talked about Collective Farming or Cooperative Farming. Amul is a great example of a Cooperative. Why can Government push in that direction if it really wants to Reform Agriculture. Why does reform only means allowing Huge Corporates to run everything? What's happening today is we are Copy Pasting Ideas of West or American Capitalism on the Indian Society. Instead of looking for more middle of the road indigenous solutions. There is increasingly more and more Centralisation of Economic Power in the hands of only a few people. That's why I think Shekhar Gupta's take is very biased and not correct.
You are godi media and manipulate things.lets comes in debt with farmer leader 😂😉😉
The Print is becoming one of the most genuine source of news in this right and left leaning digital and tv media space. Watching today's media feels like either they are of extreme right view or the extreme left view. It feels good to have a media network whose news are based on solid research and facts and that talks sense rather than being a mouthpiece of either Ideology. This is the type of journalism that India needs. We hope with passing days, the Print becomes bigger and stronger.
A channel who is interview just the one side of the opinion,
How can we call it genuine?
They have not done any interview with any person havimg different view on these bills.
And on what earth jounalism is just having interview on ones opinions, where is the debate between two diferent opinions.
If you sir really want to have something genuine here then have a look on Dr. Devinder Sharma's interview.
@@forumwomenindia true
I am thinking of starting a political party with the same ideology. If I do, will you vote for me? Just doing a research.
@G Kaur Lol....Please watch business news and you will know what these empty heads are doing daily....These tax draining psus are being privatized to improve the efficiency and speedup their tortise processess. I hope these permanent job systems in PSUs stop. So that these BABUs will learm to work efficiently with some responsibility.
@G Kaur
HATSOFF TO YOUR HATRED TOWARDS BJP. AND ALSO THOSE EMPTY HEADS ARE EXPERIENCED IAS OFFICERS. Giving contracts to Anil ambani group is not UNCOMMON. In the past Congress have given several contracts to the reliance group. And many contracts are given to several companies including Ambani, taya, birla..It is just that the opposition wanted to create a controversy and harm the credibility of the govt as capitalism ke dalle. Nothing new...And if you are talking about bankruptcy, A bankrupt company would do a job more seriously to get credibility. And it is not reliance only deal. It is given to Dassault. It is a joint venture deal. And also he has employed lakhs of people and given crores of rupees as tax to the govt too.
IF A COMPANY IS SOLD COMPLETELY THEN HOW WILL IT REQUIRE STATE FUNDING? The sole reason of selling is ownership as well as responsibility transfer. And with the Infrastructure they have, they will have amazing value unlocking. Recently Mazgaon doc, irctc have shown huge demand. Next is CONCOR, SCI and one of the refinery of BPCL. And NOT ALL PSUs are loss making.....ONGC,BPCL,HINDPETRO,POWERGRID,GAIL, IOC like PSUs are profit making too.
Thanks for explaining Shekhar. Off topic... My wife's mother's family (what's the opposite of ससुराल?) are Farmers on the RJ/HR border. I've seen how hard they work, that too in summer. It's not a life many of us would choose I think. So I have a lot of respect for farmers having seen it all first hand. They taught me many things like the importance of the Cow and Buffalo in Indian life, how to live simply with pure food, and how to sleep under the stars on the roof 😊 They also accepted me as a foreigner and everyone in the village always made me feel welcome. The village Women are especially warm and loving too. I'm very grateful for them 🙏
Very sensitive issue. ⚠️ words are powerful, they can make or break you.

If the Govt backs out of these reforms then farmers from Maha, UP, MP, Bihar, and Karnataka should also march towards Delhi. Clearly, there is a step-motherly attitude towards these states. Maharashtra does not even have a proper irrigation system. The fear psychosis of Punjab and Haryana farmers should not be allowed to torpedo the aspirations of Maharashtra and the rest of India farmers.
U rt bro I was eagerly waiting for such law i'm from bihar & have mango orchid of 450 trees & i get only 3 lakhs for 2 years now with passage of these laws i want to contact corporate or ecoms like big basket so dat i can get good price
But farmers of these states are not vocally supporting these farm bills,they should also make their voice heard, Otherwise I fear,govt will roll back these bills and ,we will see on more reform compromised for political populism
@@flakka7711 Wish u a good luck
Maha changed rule in 2018 and allowed to sell inside APMC and outside. APMC is still working and farmer have freedom to sell where they want to.
@@adesharatushar Don't look it just from APMC perspective. See the plight of onion and tomato farmers in Maharashtra.

I used to respect Yogendra Yadav for his acumen, but, now I know better - he is so ideologically driven, he refuses to acknowledge why Bihar gave the result it gave ( he said Bihar ia irrelevant for North India pol.), now this Farmer Protests..
If anything is irrelevant it is he himself - He was dropped from Farmer Delegation who met the Govt.
Guptaji is ideologically driven . Ideology of market which has failed all over the world. This ideology is against the people.
Hate driven. Communists and jihadis are one and same.
If you will know his family history then you will understand him probably.
I patiently heard the whole video and each fact is stated in correct and clear manner. But I don't understand that what is the point where it says how these laws will help the farmers. Farmers in Punjab and Haryana are not happy by growing paddy, they do not have any other options. Instead of privatizing the agriculture sector, government should have started procuring more of the other crops that India is importing from outside. If we can have surplus of wheat and rice in the country by following a pattern of giving MSP and then procuring the produce. It can also be done for other commodities. Farmers are demanding from more than a decade now to have procurement system and MSP for other crops, which will not only help them save their groundwater, which is going down year by year but will also help India to have sufficient supply of the commodities which we are importing from outside. Bringing in the big corporations will neither help the farmers nor the consumers. Other point that is not covered in this video is that how Punjab and Haryana have spoilt their lands by putting in chemicals to increase production and to feed the starving India of 1960s. And now after using them and having sufficient supply of grains, we are saying we do not need your produce. Thanks for reading, hope you will understand that thousands of people are sleeping on roads because of some reason.
I never had any respect for this guy who is a prisoner of some stone age philosophy. Yogendra yadav's acumen is in fishing in troubled waters.
India must start producing more barley and more beer. Beer price in India could be reduced thereby becoming a beer super power.
Beer 🍻 takes long time to produce , you will have to be a millionaire to make farm . Its a good business but takes to much time . you have to be patient in the beginning which is a big gamble
This I agree, some one give this man a beer
You must be a beer lover😆😆
Whats wrong with wheat or rice beer? Both taste excellent in my opinion.

Finally. Thank you for taking up this topic. Some questions for you:
1. If FCI is carrying grain worth 1.8 lakh crores and not able to sell, how is the farmer expected to sell this to corporates?
2. How is it legitimate to take out 1700 thousand crore state revenue? How is that being substituted, esp for a debt-ridden state?
3. If MSP was developed targeted at Punjab and Haryana, should the farmers there not be consulted when Govt is trying to mess with that?
4. What happened in Bihar by abolition of APMC, what are the chances of it not getting replicated across India since we have an overall surplus of grains as we k ow for a fact?
1.stop producing that nobody can sell and start producing that somebody can sell.
2.revenue?? so you take money from already low income agriculture and call that revenue.
I call it plunder. agriculuture needs govt investment not taxes.
3.nobody told that msp will be taken away.
4.Bihar farmers started producing that they can sell esp fruits.
Bihar has seen one of the highest agricultural growth after abolition of apmc.
An excellent analysis and commentary by Shekhar ji. It makes this farmers issue so simple to understand.

@@ShubhamKumar-lt9ie Farmers of other states are suffering due to selfishness of punjab and haryana farmers

@@majimakiriyu4872 Haryaan , Punjab farmers are protesting because Only in Haryana and Punjab farmers were getting MSP which was around Central recommended MSP for crop , Otherwise in most of the states ,states government buys Crops at a much lower rate than Recommended by Central government
Can anyone can clarify my doubt 1. Why most of thefarmers are not selling their produce in APMC 2.In Apmc ( mandis) is there any private traders will buy or only fci buys if fci buys at msp then all the farmers will sell there produce to fci only.is there any restrictions on fci how much it should procure

It won't happen until manufacturing takes off in a big way ala China!! Then only people employed in agriculture would move towards the industry and incomes would rise to get India into the middle income country status and then high income/developed status.

@@madtitanoboa462 sad but true bro 😪, in india nobody wants to do anything but only protest.
Govt brought a good law.. farmers should not be used to make a political offensive. Farmers also should be made more aware on the issue.
I think MSP is a legitimiate valid point from farmers side. Anyway the argument is that farmers will get more than MSP, so nobody is losing by adding MSP in to the law
No need to add msp in act..as it's already there and no body abolished it ....govt already clearified it so many times ..but if it's a political protest...no one care what's the law is... protest for the sake of protest
@@KiranKumar-nb4nx but govt can only guarantee MSP on govt purchase only. A certain type of quality produce is not a thing for govt, as they have to sell that produce at Rs 1 and 2. If private players are bound to purchase each and everything on MSP then they will not invest. If they are not getting a product that is not of desired quality, why they will buy it on MSP.
@@crudetorefined4059 If the price of a commodity is below MSP, the govt should buy it at MSP. European Union does that (though the term MSP is not there) to help farmers there. Indian farmers are much poorer and need more help compared to them.
@@KiranKumar-nb4nx msp is not controlled by market, pvt sector will only buy on market price ,if demand of wheat is more in market they will buy above msp, but if demand in market is low they will buy below msp,if govt legalise the msp they will not buy anything, govt can take losses and still pay msp ,but private sector will not buy like that

Also, SG sir, would request you to cover legitimate farmers' apprehensions like
Lack of legal remedies in contract farming,
Already far less no of mandis in country and private substitution of mandis etc etc. 🙏🏼
in Telangana MAZE one of main crop before Telangana govt intervention 100 kg of maze going for 800 to 1200 in open market// and MSP is 1800/After state govt procurement it went to 1600 and remember TELANGANA have one of the well formed poultry industry/ I am from NAKREKAL((biggest citrus growing cluster in India) ) - TELANGANA we have 1200 lemon trees 25 kg lemon bag goes for 160 to 240(any price below 600 is just ripoff) this also no MSP crop // this new laws promote private markets but in reality private markets are more rigged than APMC that i am seeing regularly
@@freesoul3466 but they are not ending APMC and MSP
Sad sad , farmers are shooting themself in their head and foot. This is great bill.
How???
In India, every year the production of food grains r more than the requirements of our country.
In Market economy, if production is high,price will be low.
Lets say today Punjab farmers start growing some other product,then price of that will go down.
Now, corporate can procure and keep any amount of food grains in der reserve.
If d production is high one year they will procure and next year if the price is high,they will not buy it.
Or they will say that we already hv so much, give us in the less price.
Add MSP and make it a better bill. The argument is that farmers are going to get more money than MSP. So why the issue of adding MSP in that?
You can't entirely conclude it is good, there are many issues which the farmers are facing too. We should look at them from Micro level, and then make a decision whether these are good or not!
@@HistoryOfBharat If corporates do not buy, farmers still have Govt APMC to sell their produce. APMCs are not abolished. They will continue to remain. The new Act just removes the mandatory provision of selling produce only in APMC.
@@apssingla only Punjab and Haryana. Rest of farmers are getting screwed by the old law. Farmer should be able to sell their crops anywhere in India. This issue is only for wheat and rice. MIlk , poultry are run privately and they are very successful.

@@azankhan88
You know so much about economy . Can you name a single country with good economy having more than 10 % of its population involved in farming ?
Today’s edition was a master class. Great episode.
Thanks for this finely researched explanation!
I still don't understand many aspects:
1. The farmers in PB+HR get free water and electricity, but not in all other states.
That means a heavy cut in the input costs for PB+HR farmers.
That means the calculated Max Retail Price (MRP) of the produce should have dropped drastically.
And yet the MSP does not take this heavy subsidy into account! WHY??
2. In the other states, where this same subsidy is not there, the farmers are at a disadvantage.
India is a common market. A subsidized produce from PB/HR will hurt all other states.
Then why don't the other states set up a price barrier? Or protest against PB+HR?
According to Yogendra Yadav, the farmer's stir will find support across the country.)
That means the other farmers are not aware/concerned about the price differential.
3. How does the MSP remain constant instead of following the rule of supply and demand?
Why does it not follow the market equilibrium price?
(It can still prevent predatory pricing, without being extravagant.)
4. How can APMCs operate at a huge loss, while the states get their 6% cut, and the agents get their 2.5%?
That sort of commission is justified only in a free-market transaction, not in a controlled economy!
5. How does a bankrupt APMC work year after year?
What is the absolute limit when it can go no more?
6. If the other states offer the same MSP to their own farmers, why is subsidized wheat/rice a problem?
7. In terms of the supply chain, how is purchasing more than what you consume justified?
Even in terms of MSP, it should be tied with a target quantity for each of the 30 items.
Any produce in excess of that target would have to be sold in the open market.
That would automatically make the farmer choose a crop where MSP is available.
And then we would not have the practice of buying unnecessary stock.
8. If value chain analysis is done, all APMCs would have to be closed down, as they are not adding any value.
Does the government at any level have any regulator that raises such flags?
9. I haven't seen a private think tank discussing this imbalance. Why?
How come this vital issue was never a part of public discourse?
Our public debates always ignore economic fundamentals.
Simply he said :
"Farmers of Haryana and Punjab don't know how to do business."
He said the right points
If everyone start doing business, we will endup importing food for all

@Shashvat K have you seen that video? Because i belong to farmers family and i have seen that video and i found that very apt. that's why i am sharing it.
@Shashvat K Have you read the bill? Literally all opposition parties wanted the bill 5 years back and even congress had it in their 2019 manifesto. Government deregulation is good. We really need to stop worshipping farmers in this country.
@Shashvat K I never said that we need to eliminate all subsidies , i said we need to stop worshipping farmers because there is this idea in the indian political sphere that every demand of a farmer must be met and we must always "stand with the farmer" no matter their demands. For example economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/policy/why-debt-waivers-are-likely-to-hurt-indian-farmers-in-the-long-run/articleshow/57461179.cms?from=mdr
Also name one provision in the current bill that "cuts" government subsidies, their are none it just offers more choice to the farmer as a producer which leads to more competitive prices and directly benefits us the consumers. Please illuminate why worshipping any group and caving to their political demands at every possible instant without even debating the policies is healthy for any society.

Sharad Pawar controls the sugar industry in Maharashtra.
And that's not even MSP, that's FRP- Fair & Remunerative Price. Basically, not the govt. but the factories pay higher than market price for procurement, thus producing expensive sugar which is not globally competitive and leads to a glut in the domestic markets.
Govt. must immediately stop meddling with markets.
Thats why ground water level is depleting
The way NDTV did a campaign for tigers print should for water conservation . Campaign against sugarcane growers in Maharashtra and UP. Sugar cane should be grown only by Bihar

Modi should use this video and issue it in public interest on national TV.
Before deciding anything please have a look on the other side of the coin, listen to an interview of Dr. Devinder sharma.
I patiently heard the whole video and each fact is stated in correct and clear manner. But I don't understand that what is the point where it says how these laws will help the farmers. Farmers in Punjab and Haryana are not happy by growing paddy, they do not have any other options. Instead of privatizing the agriculture sector, government should have started procuring more of the other crops that India is importing from outside. If we can have surplus of wheat and rice in the country by following a pattern of giving MSP and then procuring the produce. It can also be done for other commodities. Farmers are demanding from more than a decade now to have procurement system and MSP for other crops, which will not only help them save their groundwater, which is going down year by year but will also help India to have sufficient supply of the commodities which we are importing from outside. Bringing in the big corporations will neither help the farmers nor the consumers. Other point that is not covered in this video is that how Punjab and Haryana have spoilt their lands by putting in chemicals to increase production and to feed the starving India of 1960s. And now after using them and having sufficient supply of grains, we are saying we do not need your produce.

The video says, we are not focusing on other crops.. Then cotton, sugar and vegetables would not be grown.. Farmers suffered in 2018 due to low onion price, because they have no MSP.. 2019 we suffered because of high price and low production.. We can live without onion like FM says but without staple food??

Best analysis of India's agricultural scenario & MSP. Should be highly publicized among the Indian population.
Another idiotic thing that our populist leaders from across various parties do in India are the "loan-waivers". The taxpayer (mostly middle class) is looted by the government in giving counter-productive loan waivers, which have now created the NPA crisis in PSBs.
My father works in a regional PSB, and he's so frustrated nowadays due to overwork, and the added pressure due to the NPA problem. Our populist leaders will never understand this. DBT is also only slightly better than loan-waivers, and it too doesn't solve the core structural problems in our agriculture sector.
ya also the ration food being given for last 60 yrs Free distribution. to the poor states like Bihar Bengal, UP, Orissa, TN etc.
Come on read some economy before buying into propaganda. You just saw how this farmer's bill was twisted and now khalistanis are taking advantage. Every capitalist and pragmatic country will give loan waivers to businesses. They give jobs to people, without giving them waivers the jobs will be gone with the business closed. The individual with a home loan doesn't hire people for taking home loans. It helps the ease of doing business. If that was nit done you would be here complaining about loss of jobs.
@@EragonShadowSlasher why? You didn't take a loan for a business that hires people. Why the fuck should we tax payers give you money for your home loan. The businesses hires people. Who the fuck told you to take a loan if you couldn't pay for it? There's a difference between your individual loan and that business loan.

@@technicalaman3043 read my comments properly I am talking about jumping into the propaganda bandwagon
It was not in written in any previous Act that Govt must not purchase below MSP yet the Govt procures on MSP. If after having received MSP for so many years, they don't believe the Govt, then the problem is with them. Moreover, Punjab's high productivity is heavily subsidized by the Govt. I don't believe they will be able to compete in domestic market with other states if subsidies were withdrawn. So, the fact of high productivity of Punjab in the country is highly arguable.
I am pretty sure Assam can easily beat Punjab if fair competition exists

I think modi govt should add Mr sekhar gupta a panelist in talks with farmers.. Grt understanding of topic. Hats off sir🙏👍
I think you shluld liaten to farmers for once and u will forget SG
Very informative, The Print is providing informative and unbiased views with solid proof rather than going with the flow like other media. Your efforts deserve great appreciation.
My question is, surplus the FCI has why don’t they sell to the corporates. Farmers would be happy that they are getting their money and the FCI would not be in debt. The concerns of the farmers are that if it’s open market and there’s a surplus who would buy it? If it’s the FCI that would buy the surplus then what’s the difference with the current situation. The right approach should be government should sell to the corporates or export the excess.
I also had same question. Well said.
Problem is farmers would expect government to buy, not at market rates but at farmer benefit rates. Govt has no wherewithal to manage such a feat (in terms of infrastructure and capital) and it is not its primary duty. Even if govts buy at an premium rate, it'll just distort market price and in turn affect our capacity to exports (such commodities available cheaper else where in the world). That is the reason why GOI has huge stocks of wheat and rice, as cost paid by GOI to farmers is so exorbitant that let alone the world, not even Indian private sector will buy them at those rates. And it is just inefficient for government to get into it. It leads to a lot of wasted resources that this country can ill afford.
Now farmers will be able to sell produce to anybody and previously it was restricted to their APMC and now farmers has broader choice whether to sell in APMC , FCI or to corporate or anywhere where they will earn huge profits . So what is the problem from this bill
Farmers have guaranteed income with MSP and are not switching to crops which india needs like olive oil and keep on producing crops like wheat and Rice. India spends billions of dollars to get olive oil that too from a country who is hostile to india. You must have read recently india stopped imports from Malaysia because of many reasons.
Everyone Knows that Corporates would not pay more than MSP eventually, else the could buy from the govt itself.
Thank you CTC for such rich research.
Re protests: Just because something good has not been communicated well (as alleged on BJP now on these good laws), does not take away the fact that the laws are still v good for the farmers.Let's pl kill the 'BJP failed to communicate' narrative and condemn this protest.
I agree and its not that Govt. has not tried to communicate it to them. I have seen Govt. handles on Twitter communicating this. But there r many channels and people who have their own vested interest,they r creating fear among farmers and giving them wrong info.
why should anyone condemn the protests? did they destroy public property or beat up someone? Instead the police on state orders damaged the road. Everyone has the right to protest peacefully and be heard, especially when concerns so many people. And all the TV channels are busy not just condemning them but even tagging them as terrorists and antinationals - and you expect the Punjabis to take that lying down?
This is the same issue as with CAA
Shekharji, exceptional objective journalism. The subscription has, in a master stroke, become 100% worthy.
@G Kaur haha... Kaurji... by posting this reply, you have made clear who is who, and what is you.
For the demented out there like you: BJP is doing a stellar job by privatising many of the PSUs. One after the other. Managing a huge country with a massive population, with extreme disparities and inequality is not the same as managing a chicken coop... perhaps your worldview is limited.
And I am glad you replied, the kind of nonsensical quack you people blurt out only makes the case for even bigger majority for the Modi-led development revolution, albeit its many failings and some hardline issues. Its still the best thing thats happened to India in over 40yrs.
This is what is expected of media - to educate people about the real background of an issue. Shekhar Gupta has done exactly that. Thanks for enlightening us.
Dear sheker sir one thing i want to ask
1. Govt will decide price of seeds
2. Govt will decide price of pesticides
3. Govt will decide price of fertilizers
4. Govt will decide price of diesel
Than who will decide the price of crop a private player or you and I
That's why we are asking MSP for all crops.
You can decide but then no one will buy if you have decided arbitrary high price. And farmers got subsidy on everything from electricity to fuel to pesticides etc
SG is precise but govt lost chance to remove the apprehensions of farmers months back.hope they will reach a consensus
The congress government in Punjab kept inciting the farmers for political reasons. Remember the buffoon rahul was sitting on the tractor.

Can anyone could clarify my doubt 1. Why most of the farmers are not selling their produce in APMC 2. Is there any private trader in APMC (mandis) or only fci buys total farm produce if fci is giving msp then all the farmers will sell their produce to fci only why they are not selling their total produce.is there any restrictions for fci to procure
@@mulukasreenath5192 no the fci already has surplus even after that it had to buy wheat and rice from farmers on msp and offcourse most of the grains even after free distribution under various schemes rot provided bad and not using technology in storage facilities so the fci is already in loss but since it is a government body it is not dissolved yet and yes 90 % grains are still sold to private players offcourse indirectly due to middlemen in mandis which this law will remove as the farmer can directly sell it to the private player

As Ashkok gulati said govt failed in communication with farmers.

A very positive and right information provided by Shekhar. It appeared the present Government of India failed to educate the farmers before implementing it. Had they educate the farmers this nasty situation and heartburn could have avoided.

I’m deeply regretting not coming to this channel before. Such in depth research covering all aspects like historical, social, economic etc. represented Without any ideological bias or slogans. Kudos to the print team, and thank you 🙏🏽
I have few questions
1. If the Apmc were abolished in bihar 14 years ago, why cant bihari farmers move to other crops and why they are only farming grain crops just to have losses.
2. If the farmers have belief in MSP system why can't the government give written assurance on Msp in pvt market.
3. Why farmers cant go to court in case of dispute as per new laws.
My respect on Congress and Rahul Gandhi would have grown if they had tried to convince the farmers on this much needed farmers reform bill instead of inciting them.
Shame on the selfish Congress party.
Lol why would congress ever do this
See the 2019 manifesto of INC - section 7 Points 11 and 21 to understand the hypocrisy... manifesto.inc.in/pdf/english.pdf ... even as an opposition intellectual honesty on issues of national interest there should be support ... This contradiction in the congress has basically allowed all kinds of radical , fringe , anti national elements to pretty much take over these so called protests
Mr. SG, as usual, this is a comprehensive and superb presentation. I have seen TV channels and digital news websites starting the discussion somewhere in the middle of the subject. Wishing The Print greater success.
I am sure that no country has screwed up its agriculture the way India has done. The politicians who perpetrated this horrible system of incentive deserve to roast in hell.
The problem with Modi-Shah duo is that they believe in bulldozing the laws through the parliament. If sufficient discussion had taken place in the parliament and the select committees, the opposition would have been far more muted. CAA is another such example. If the government had referred the CAB to the select committee, shaheen bagh and Delhi riots could have been avoided.
Sir, Amrinder Singh and Sukbhir Singh Badal was part of farm committees who made these farm laws. Farmer unions have been urging to bring these laws from last 15-20 years. What more consensus you want?

They were influential in Vajpayee govt too.
That is why Vajpayee was defended and his ill-health was hidden even when his health actually was not well during last year of his rule...
When Devegowda did not encourage them, he was shown as I'll person who always sleeps etc. and finally brought down.
But Modi had always had bad relationship with them.
He did not encourage this circle. He took his own decision and in some cases replaced people from this circle in some important positions like JNU VC with science professor, members of NEP committee was headed by a scientist, chancellor of Jadhavpur was replaced, Hyderabad University, FTII etc. That is when the circle became active.
Student protests started in JNU, Jadhavpur, Hyderabad, then came caste protests etc.
Still Jaitley and Shushma Swaraj were Lutyens' friends in Modi govt. As long as they were present things were in control.
Once they passed away, the circle became ruthless in misinformation.
Earlier it was Intolerance, award wapsi, Student protest and then now it is CAA, Farmers etc.

You need to exactly what Is told India in 1960's - insentivice
Excellent analysis once again. You have at most times really set the standard high.
I believe Shekhar Gupta elaborated on the thoughts of people far away from the ground reality. Please don't confuse ourselves by making assumptions. Study the situation and then comment. Half of the time in his video he uses the words "maybe", "could be", "can be done" etc. This video picked up the right issue "Wheat-Rice trapped cycle" but the suggested way of implementation/ solution is not even 1% close to the reality. The thoughts of people who don't come from a farming background may be aligned to this video. But, I urge it's just an investment of a few hours to study the topic. PLEASE PLEASE don't make statements with half-baked knowledge.
I would like to make a few counter-arguments in the following points:
1. Government doesn't have a clear solution to the problem and is hoping for the BEST to happen by giving power to private players. It won't happen.
2. Wheat-Rice trap cycle is actually true, but as mentioned in this video it's not true only for Punjab and Haryana. Actually, it's the other way around. People in these 2 states grow the best quality of Wheat-Rice therefore get a price closer to MSP. Everyone agrees diversification of crops is the most important thing needed as of now, but how will it happen? The government needs to start registering the crops sown by farmers and give incentives/ better prices for crops lacking cultivation. Currently, only 6% of farmers get MSP and most of them are from Punjab/ Haryana. Why will farmers of Punjab grow pulses if they don't even get half of the MSP? Instead, they grow Wheat/Rice for which they get a better price.
3. Fixing price was actually a good idea for the whole agriculture market. But, shouldn't government focus on sticking to MSP? The government is literally failing to perform his duties for improving the market. Private companies are already purchasing from APMC. Giving the whole power of controlling the market to companies will exploit the farmers. I think many things can be done by the government to improve the market and I listed a few here:
- Keep track of crops being cultivated.
- Motivate farmers to move from Wheat/ Rice to other crops by giving better prices and proper equipment required for the same.
- Minimize the imports and export all the surplus.
- Stick to MSP, Try to match DEMAND with SUPPLY for all crops by moving the big landowners to grow Pulses/ MAIZE/ Bajra, etc.
The basic demand for farmers is to stick to MSP and scrap bills having benefits for only Privatization. Can we bargain for a bottle of Bisleri? So why are they given prices lesser than MSP(Minimum Support Price). Note it's a minimum price not even maximum. Can you realize the need for a regulatory body in between buyer and seller? If the government says I won't do it, who is going to do it then?
Farmers have called "Bharat Bandh" on 8th November, Please stand for them if you are able to understand their concerns. Happy to discuss your views in the comments.

I patiently heard the whole video and each fact is stated in correct and clear manner. But I don't understand that what is the point where it says how these laws will help the farmers. Farmers in Punjab and Haryana are not happy by growing paddy, they do not have any other options. Instead of privatizing the agriculture sector, government should have started procuring more of the other crops that India is importing from outside. If we can have surplus of wheat and rice in the country by following a pattern of giving MSP and then procuring the produce. It can also be done for other commodities. Farmers are demanding from more than a decade now to have procurement system and MSP for other crops, which will not only help them save their groundwater, which is going down year by year but will also help India to have sufficient supply of the commodities which we are importing from outside. Bringing in the big corporations will neither help the farmers nor the consumers. Other point that is not covered in this video is that how Punjab and Haryana have spoilt their lands by putting in chemicals to increase production and to feed the starving India of 1960s. And now after using them and having sufficient supply of grains, we are saying we do not need your produce. Thanks for reading, hope you will understand that thousands of people are sleeping on roads because of some reason.
@@harjotkaur7511 You are not looking at benefits for the economy as a whole.
1. Centre is buying at MSP at 20 but looking at excess production the actual price may not be 20.... so why would paying something more which is not worth it.
2. Farmer is paying Mandi tax and other tax which is almost 6% in Punjab. Punjab state is making crores of money. As Punjab govt. is not showing evidence of the usage of money in terms of rural development. SO why can't the Punjab state govt. contribute to reducing this Mandi tax from 6% to 2% which will help the farmers and as well as center do not need to pay such a high price of MSP
3. Also, you want to center to keep MSP for other crops as well. Don't you think so government bill is already in deficit with 5000 crores of equity and 1.80 lack crores of liability? Do you want to more worsen the situation of our economy? Hope you understand the logic, that government is not paying from his pocket, it is our hard-earned money, tax, which will be utilized to pay MSP. It's not the government we the people (including Punjab state people) are suffering by managing the MSP of Punjab state.
4. I do have sympathy for farmers, I am not sure, does the farmer knows about their actual worth of produce (with excess production each year). I hope you understand the market function as determination of price depends on demand and supply. Who is paying more by keeping MSP? Don't you think we as consumers are paying more?
5. Well, the government is not throwing them out. The government encourages market participants to have fair prices of the product.
6. I can only see, who losses here, the Mandi and state income, in the form of tax, which they use to make money for themselves because farmers will any which ways get money for their goods that too without paying Mandi tax. Farmers have the advantage of selling goods without paying Mandi tax. I don't know who is fooling farmers.
7. The last point, as SG rightly said, the state/center should provide incentives to encourage them for the diversification of crops which helps our economy to reduce the deficit.
@@harjotkaur7511 You guys don't understand economics, do you ?
@@sumarianprince Make your point if you have any?
one of the bill clearly states that farmers cannot go to the court If they have any dispute with the contractor and moreover So called private market is already present in rest of the India apart from PB and HR 94% of the farmers are already not selling it to the APMC because they don't have them
So farmers should demand judiciary in any dispute instead of removal of laws
First time Gupta ji expressed real issues and truth.
The last comment on explaining the new laws to the farmer, what better than making this episode in Hindi & sending them to the farmers mobiles !
More so it should be for Punjab-Haryana (Punjabi language).
It's just west UP farmers agitating.
UP-Bihar produce a better variety of rice yet poor people there have to eat substandard rice from MSP (procures from Punjab-Haryana mostly).
Being a Punjabi, I am proud of my FARMERS, standing in front of Delhi India.. Waheguru bless them
From Punjab India
Might be sad for some
Stop wasting my taxes
Don't fight have talk and get a better deal. Punjab is literally wasting lot of food, it is not 1970 where people eat roti, rice and dal.
We should diversify into poultry, meat, milk, fruits, oils, nutrition food etc
@@perspective500 Haryana Govt dig NH1 .delhi-Karnal -Chandigarh. Very SAD from PUNJAB to come to DELHI@Harshit Singh
@@harshitsingh686 Yes, the way Haryana Govt. Tortured on 26 Nov
This CTC was much better than the last one which i felt was just opinionated and much less based on facts. There's reason and information here which I appreciate. Kudos
Sir, thanks for bringing our a balanced view. This is too large and complicated an issue for us common people to fathom. You have made things easier for us.
Hopefully, the Govt will not go back on these reforms but anyway Congress or particularly the Gandhi family missed out on the credit for Liberalization due to an unnecessary feud with PV Narsimharao and now they'll lose out on credit for the second liberalization too due to Rahul's stupidity. The laws are good and change is hard also Modi govt made mistakes as they failed to take stakeholders onboard.
...and it was Modi who heralded liberalisation in India.
He explained in simple language. Best way..Thank you very much
One of the best cut the clutter episodes. It's going to be a tightrope walk to resolve the current impasse. Interesting times ahead
It could have but SG gave his opinion in optimism, we have to see both the opinions, see Dr. Devinder Sharma's interview on this issue.
@@Worker889 I did see Devinder Sharma's opinion as well. He did not offer any constructive solution. And his ways were more of idealistic socialism. If SG's balanced view of the pros and cons in this CTC episode does not provide you with the right perspective, then no amount of explanation would help.
Great Episode Mr Shekhar, if farmers watch this, it would definitely open there eyes blinded by dirty politicians like one. Mr AKJ...
Mr akj?
Shekharbhai, thou you are not an Agro Economist, you have explained things very nicely. Being Economics Master's degree holder, I am really impressed by your hard work and research. You have explained clearly and simply, without prejudice as well. Although I am your Fan for ever, but Today I feel I have chosen a right person to enrich my knowledge....
I think FCI should start procuring foodgrains from other states too not just punjab and haryana , if it procures crops from farmers of Andhra , maharashtra , gujarat , UP , Telangana in MSP then that would be a big deal
they already have a surplus bro..1.80 lakh crore worth. they don't want to procure from Haryana/Punjab too
APMC is a state subject. Further government is agree on MSP. Then where is the problem ?
It's in the genes of Politics (Not to name), in the name of Farmers.
Where has the government agreed on MSP?
Not expected from so called educated person.. pehle padho fir bolo...
@@jaspalguru2480 Yes. i have evidance. could forward you.
@@jaspalguru2480 Bro, If you do not understand the content and context of the video, then you are a scapegoat of politics.
Mr. Gupta you are the most well read journalist out there 👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
One of the best Newsroom. With Nature and chirping at the background. A shortcoming becoming a strength.
Things are so simple but our Punjabi farmers not ready to understand. Only God can help India.
just making punjabi farmers poorer will not make other farmers any richer
Beautifully explained Sir. You should be the one in these farmers meetings to avoid unnecessary political mess ups.👍
Groups won't listen to Reasoning friend , you may be aware.
