Last evening, while interviewing you on NDTV, Pronoy
Roy asked you :
“ So far you have been complaining about air pollution
that people of Delhi suffer due to farmers in Punjab burning stubble ( crop residue
). Now that you will govern Punjab, how do you plan to stop stubble burning ? “
Your politically correct answer was :
“ We will think
about it. We will find a satisfactory solution “
Dear Sisodiaji :
Following is that “ satisfactory solution “ costing
less than Rs 600
crores ( a tiny fraction of your poll promises )
And you can easily implement it in 3 months !
More than 4 years ago, I sent following e-mail to all
Cabinet Ministers / State Chief Ministers :
Ø Smog in
Brain ?..................... [ 10 Nov 2017 ]
Where I
suggested :
# About 3 million acres are cultivated for paddy in Punjab and 20
million tonnes of stubble are generated
# Harvesters skim from the top and leave 80 % of the paddy plant – 6” to
8” long – on the field
# Since farmers need to sow wheat within a fortnight of harvesting paddy,
they burn the straw , or paraali
# As per Manjeet Singh Makkar ( Head , Farm Machinery and Power
Engineering Department , Punjab Agricultural University ) , following are
three solutions :
#
Straw Chopper – cum- Spreader
This machine chops the stubble and mixes it in the soil either with the help
of
# Straw Management System and a “
Happy Seeder “
It cuts the straw into small pieces and scatters it evenly. Next, a Happy
Seeder
straw over the area
The
# A Baler , which bales the straw .
These can be used in power plants or card-board factories
“ Given a choice between a box of match-sticks and machinery worth Rs 2
lakhs , what will you choose ? “, asked Billa Singh , a farmer in Phagwara
Now consider this :
· Between harvesting paddy and sowing wheat,
there is a 15 day window
· One pair of machines ( described above )
can work 6 / 7 acres/day
· That
is 100 acres in 15 days ( with one pair )
· Paddy
Stalk needs to be removed from 30 lakh acres, in 15 days
· That
means , Punjab needs 30,000 pairs of machines ( for 15 days )
· One
pair costs Rs 2 lakhs
· So , 30,000 pairs will cost Rs 60,000 lakhs
( Rs 600 crores )
· In Maharashtra , nearly 80 lakh farmers will get farm-loan waiver
amounting to Rs 34,000 crores
· In UP , 12 lakh farmers got farm-loan
waiver of Rs 36,000 crore
· Who can believe that Shri Amrinder Singhji ( CM – Punjab ) cannot find Rs
600 crore to
create a FARM
machines and let farmers rent out @ Rs 10 / day ?
And , through this method ( # 1 above ) , can we assure the farmers
that their,
· # soil
will become more FERTILE
· # YIELD
will go up by 100 %
· # Income will rise dramatically ,
as the farmers of Maharashtra are discovering , using SRT farming
method developed
by Chandrashekar
I urge Shri
Amrinder Singhji to read the following :
“ A Maharashtra Farmer’s AgriTech Holds Promise for Delhi’s Pollution
Woes “
And can someone figure out how to combine this [ SRT ] with the following
technology from China to provide a powerful incentive to the Punjab farmers to
stop burning paddy stalk ?

I hope that
this solution is adopted in the very first meeting of the new AAP government in
Punjab
