Lok Sabha’s winter
session starts today. Govt will introduce a bill to repeal 3 Farm Laws
Opposition party
members will get vociferous by echoing the demands of Kisan Netas, which are :
Ø
Withdrawal
of Electricity Amendment Bill
Ø
Scrapping
of provisions of fines for stubble burning
Ø
Withdrawal
of cases against farmers ( during protests )
Ø
Sacking
and arrest of Shri Ajay Mishra ( for Lakhimpur violence )
Ø
Compensation
to kin of 700 farmers who died during the protests
Ø
Allotment
of site to construct a memorial
None of these are
un-surmountable / non-negotiable, and I urge Shri Tomarji and the Farmer
Leaders to reach compromise-solutions for each of these, in the spirit of “ Give and Take “
In that same spirit
of “ Give and Take “ , a WIN-WIN
solution can also be reached in the matter of the most important demand of “ MSP for 23
crops guaranteed by an appropriate new law “
Both sides have
reasonable arguments, viz :
FARMERS :
In APMC mandies,
cartels of traders / middlemen / adatias etc., fix very low prices ( sometimes,
even below the cost of production ) and
force the farmers to sell at huge loss ( cause for suicides ? )
GOVERNMENT :
We have following problems
:
# Against our current storage capacity ( FCI ) of 41 million tons, last season, we
were
required to purchase
MSP ) .
This meant storing food grains, in open ( covered by tarpaulins ). This results
in millions of tons getting
human consumption- entailing a loss of lakhs of crores of rupees
# We just have enough money ( funds ) to support a few crops with MSP. If as
many as
23 crops were to be
funds to buy out all 23 crops .
# Fixing MSP and guaranteeing purchase of 23 crops, will further aggravate the
storage problems and
Dear Kisan Netas / Shri Tomarji,
Here too a
Compromise Solution is possible in the spirit of Give and Take
It is : MSP linked with MPQ
Where, MPQ = Maximum
Purchase Quantity
( separate figure for each of those 23 crops )
This means, in each
year, Government
shall not be obliged to purchase
more than the MPQ ( at its MSP ),
for any crop
The MSP and MPQ shall be worked out and announced by the govt. 6 months in advance of the coming year
As suggested in my following
earlier blog-email, it is possible to automate this
entire process of computation of MSP, by using Geo-Spatial Technology :
Agri
Reforms : an Ongoing Process…………………….[ 20 Nov 2021 ]
Using same
technology, it is possible to also calculate ( automatically and without human intervention ), the MPQ for
each of those 23 crops for the upcoming year
Both, the
Government and the Farmers should be happy with such an AUTOMATIC – SCIENTIFIC –
UNBIASED – TECHNOLOGY BASED – DYNAMIC process, which announces its results on a
Govt website within a specific time - frame
This way, Govt will
know in advance, the total amount of FUNDS that will be
required for the coming season
And, knowing in advance, the MPQ / MSP for each
crop, farmers will decide WHICH crop to plant and HOW MUCH to plant ( Demand
/ Supply / Price, dynamics in regulated manner )
On Govt web site,
each purchase ( at MSP ) will be published ( individual and cumulative ) for
each crop
This will show, how
much total has been purchased ( for each crop ) and how much still remains to be
purchased
When Govt purchase
for an MSP crop reaches its stipulated MPQ ( for a given season / year ) , the
Govt will stop buying and declare in all media
Irrespective of
this provision, farmers will be free to negotiate with any trader / middleman /
business , any SALE QUANTITY at any negotiated price ( whether higher or lower
than published MSP )
Based on State-wise
distribution ( of production ) of any particular crop, Central Government will
work out State-wise QUOTAS of purchase quantities for each crop
23
∬ msp_1 x mpq_1 = Funds
needed for Crop 1………..( insert data for all 23 crops, one by one )
