Ruined Rural Economy India – Crocodile Snuffles Part 8
[ad_1]
In my previous article Part-7 while I have tried to bring out the culpability of Government of West Bengal and the State Police in brutal and senseless killing of innocent farmers on 14 March 2007 on one side; today I would touch up on the necessity of creating Special Economic Zone (SEZ) on other. I would also like to expand my debate about the Frog Perception Approach (FPA) of Montek Singh in making various faulty divergent financial scheduling for the country’s farmers. MM-PC-MS (Man Mohan- P Chidambaram- Montek Singh) trio in their wisdom had definitely planned to grow the country’s economy but without realizing it left a devastating effect on our National Rural Economy (NRE). The present team had ensured that India produces more criminals than honorable citizens. Though no one wants to be criminal; but the sky rocking prices have by and large left no choice to citizens. Infact my various Economic Development and Employment Models (EDEM) are, by and large, applicable to the entire world developing nations which are trying to lure glittering life style of five star hotels into their country and neglecting rural farming sectors without realizing the bad social effect.
Firstly of all I would like to debate about the cosmetic effects of packages for which the government is very popular. Whether it is Assam, Jammu and Kashmir, Maharashtra or Andra Pradesh, the current planners believe in delivering Package Theory rather than Development Approach. The agony of this nation is that our leadership exhibits lack of concern in solving the critical issues of, as to how Indian landless farmers are committing suicide; but they are more worried how farmers’ offspring would repay loans? The trios’ perception of growing Indian economy as debt economy is ruining the Indian industrialist sector also. The Prime Minster had in his wisdom released over rupees 300 Crores loan Package to farmers in Maharashtra without realizing that our farmers are committing suicide to overcome the debt burden only. What a shameless leadership we have, that now days, anywhere anything happens; Indian leaders weigh everything with money. Whether, it is a case of heinous crimes against children in Nithari villages, accidental deaths of passengers in mountains or farmer’s suicide, they are evaluating everything equally. These leaders, after reaching at the sites, begin to announce distribution of Public money in lakhs like throwing away tomatoes on a leader in public rally. While a soldier’s family, who makes supreme sacrifice of his live for this corrupt Nation, gets just rupees two to three lakhs after running around for months behind corrupt officials; a political voter is paid up to rupees ten lakhs instantly for doing nothing. Who would like to work in the country, I like leave debate open?
Secondly, Shall Indian Constitution, be amended to stop such blatant misuse of public money by political leaders through Supreme Court in future, needs a National debate? These acts of our short sighted leaders have proved beyond doubt that they are least bother for the country. They are only looking forward to complete a five years Elected Contractual Period (ECP) by hook and crook to plunder and publicized country’s resources. If this trait would have not been our basic trait, then India would have not been ruled since 642 AD. The basic cause of our farmers ignominy does not lies in the high profile lives of urban areas but in the heart of remotest ruined village where his soul lives. I have been repeatedly emphasizing that our National Planning Commission has to review the farming sectors with a view:
oOne; revive sinking agro industry;
oTwo; create basic market infrastructure to accommodate farmers produces;
oThree; encourage large scale joint and small private farming methods;
oFour; study to create large part of land as specialized crops cultivating areas such as sugarcane in green belt of Uttar Pradesh, potatoes in Himachal Pradesh, wheat in Punjab, rice in West Bengal and coastal states, beetroots, Maize and pulses in Rajasthan Haryana etc;
oFive; ensure provision of best quality National Seed production and not the one seasonal hybrid to ruin farmers if crop fails;
oSix; prepare a comprehensive Farmers Debt Reduction Tribunal (FDRT) in each state to identify and give relief to genuinely suffering farmers;
oSeven; finally ensure that every inch of cultivating land is irrigated till 2015 in the country irrespective of a place or desert area.
Thirdly now I will touch upon the miserable impact of hybrid seeds on Indian farmers as evident in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and many other states. These farmers have been brought to the brinks of forced buying of a kilogram of seed package costing over rupees 80 and above. The agony is that the crop of these hybrid seeds cannot be grown as seed. The old Indian inheritance of farming seed techniques to grow own seeds from previous crops has been nearly wiped out with World Trade logo of patent right. Our leaders are to be totally blamed for such lapses.
On 13 March 2007, our agricultural minister has woken up to announce to initiate steps to regulate Maize crop’s open market business not to benefit the farmers but to once again help middlemen who had earned millions through black marketeering. Our Agriculture Minister is so blindly involved in bat and ball politics of Cricket with Mr Dalmia that the news of farmers’ committing suicide never reaches to him. When he is busy in counting Sixes of cricketers, he does not have the time to look for single run farmer dying. He is more or less a disinterested person who was just given a Ministry to keep in junta. Any action of government in helping debt ridden farmers is looking like crocodile’s snuffles rather than assistance.
Readers would be surprised to know as to how nicely our left parties have left out farmer’s suicide issues? These so-called secular leftists have never been part of any development planning of the country. To remain tied to the chair, these leaders do not see killing of innocent farmers. After every brutal assault on farmers, they just carryout one day meeting in air-conditioned room or on streets and other than issuing a statement condemning government action, end their responsibility to return to their nests. What an agony?
Fourthly, I will further debate about the sinking rural areas purchasing/buying powers inequality with urban people. Today, the resultant loss of market’s finished products sale and purchase ratio is far higher than past. Why have we ruined our farming sector is not understood but how our leaders had siphoned off billions of rupees abroad can be well imagined with the rising computer savvy budgets. I would rather once again state that to make any country’s economy grow, the leaders have to develop first Rural and than Urban industries. The models of Japan growing economy and United States rural planners if can not be adopted certainly Raja Todarmal,s Agriculture development can be implemented in the world. Until unless a country makes her villages prosper, where over 90% buying power lies, she can never develop her economy. The Chinese market crisis of finish products of poor quality have flooded South East Asian Nation’s markets because of lost rural purchasing power. If country like China, being the most populated country, has to search market to sell finish products than what would be the future of India’s products whose quality are much substandard? I once again hope that our leaders would review our rural sectors growth to avoid farmer’s suicide. I would further dwell on my renaissances efforts of rejuvenating world farming sector
