Agricultural Subsidies be stopped
Should agricultural subsidies stopped or not has been topic of talk shows without proper representatives from farming side ,According to my opinion agriculture subsidy should not be stopped as our agriculture contribute 15% to our GDP and 60% of total employment beside it we know that our economy is agriculture dependent and beside it 95% of farmer comes under small land holding farmer who are not able to do cultivation without subsidies. We know that agriculture input is crucial thing for cultivation of land and our farmer can not afford that much of costly input.
agriculture subsidies should be removed or not
I think instead of stopping agriculture subsidy we should focus on.
Agriculture policy which restrict the produce within the state some state not allow to sell or buying the produce in other state which increase the cost and inflation also along with this.
To impose levied duty on essential commodities,
And monopoly condition in procurement of produce (cotton in Maharastra).
All these factor cause huge cost to farmer and less price for their produce.
Along with these farmer can not afford the costly fertilizer which is important factor to increase yield also and if govt will not provide subsidy than how farmer can produce and fulfill the consumption need of India.
Obstacles for the farmer.
1. Indian farmers have less land and are basically illiterate or less educated.
2. Obstacles to understand and apply the technology.
3. Government Subsidies don’t reach to themselves as the larger part of the subsidies are theft by the middlemen or bought by the rich farmers.
4. Gambling is done during monsoon.
5. The Infrastructure of Storing Crop, like Cold Storage is not available on every area -this is why 30% of Yearly Production of Vegetables in India are rotten.
Government should take appropriate steps to face these challenges.
Providing higher rate of subsidies to the marginal farmers and lower rate to the rich farmers.
Providing appropriate teaching of innovative methods to every farmer.
Growth of Canal and Tank Irrigation.
Low Rate Loans and Crop Insurance Facility should be provided.
The Govt should also inspect the Proper Distribution of Subsidy.
This is how the Government should meet the challenges and ensure the Farm Productivity.

As above said that,agriculture subsidy should not be banned because are agriculture contribute 15% to our GDP & 60% to our total employment,as we know that our economy is agriculture dependent.
Govt should provide more subsidy to those farmers ,not able to cultivation rather than rich farmers.
If subsidy will not be given,then our agriculture activity will be affected and thus the common man.

According to my opinion agriculture should we increase because , India is a agriculture country ,in India apprx. 70% populatin depend on it. Goverment should take action to increase agriculture , govt. should avear to farmer about who agriculture should increase and which type of forming they can do ,so that
it can get good quality of production and get high price . farmer should no about market . So we can increase our country in this field
Agriculture subsides should not be stop from my opinion because in India there is more than 70% population belongs to agriculture. there main resource of earning is farming. so i think behalf of stopping the subsides we has to manage it properly .they fulfilled their basic needs.so the problem will solved.each and every farmer get there subsides so they use that for there agriculture.
result of this increment of Indian growth and economy.and also the poverty in india should decreases.
Yes, I do agree with all the aspects that are mentioned over here. We cannot deny the fact that India is an Agricultural based country and the big main part of India’s population come under this sector. Our economy is highly dependent on agriculture. So we must think over it that How we can improve the conditions which creates problem in getting the efficient results by this Farming occupation. Some people believe that this farming is the main factor that India is the developing country yet, the main reason is Government Subsidies don’t reach to themselves as the larger part of the subsidies are theft by the middlemen or bought by the rich farmers. So, Government must focus over this factor & it must release some excellent ways to handle this situations by getting effective ideas from countries which are developed ones.
According to my view , 70% population of india are lived in villages. Agariculture are most important thing for their people. For the input of the argiculture, subsidies are most effective thing because most of the villagers are poor and illiterate. Subsidies given to them are an aid which reduce their incapability to become self-reliant. Also by giving them subsidies, government can make them satisfied.
My opinion goes with argiculture subsidies should not stopped because farmer require some subsidies for it.
according to my opinion agriculture should not be stopped because just because of agriculture we can increase the gdp of our country.at this time we can eaisly getting a fruits and other things.in india most of the farmer are illiterate they dont know how to increase the agriculture thats why government take many step to educated the former person so that they increase more and more agriculture. government provide a many type of fertilizers ti very low cost to increase the agriculture.
agriculture should be neccesary for all over india because it contribute 15 % to our gdp and with the help0 of agriculture we reduce the unemployment
I think agriculture subsides should not stopped, because india is called the country of village. Mostly people are living in village and agriculture is the primary source income. so govt. should provide better poleciy to farmer, so that they can arrange or purchage required instrument for better turn over.
Govt should provide low Intrest loan and flood recovery provided. so that poor people can manage their family.
agricultural subsidies should not be stopped because there is a large no of people who lives in the rural areas most of them depend on agriculture and pharmacy.For ex when it comes to farmers they have good knowledge regarding agriculture they can give better services in the field of agriculture.some people are there who can work only in the field of agriculture they dont have knowledge beside agriculture so if it is stopped they will become unemployed zz.
According to me, govt. should increase the subsidies rate of poor farmers because now a time there is so much inflation in education, food , and many other things of our life which are essential. And subsidies rate of rich persons should decrease because they have much money than the required . Because now a days poor becomes poorer and richer becomes richrer.
in my openion Agriculture subsides should not be stopped but must be handled in a proper way so that the real needy n poor farmer are able to get the financial stability because a wide part of Indian economy depend upon agriculture,,,,there fore it must need to be handle in a proper way …it will help to increase our econmy
Agricultural Subsidies should not be stopped because it will good for farmer that’s why they can easily grow their yield if subsidies will not be given then agricultural and farmer will be affected and they will not give the proper good yields.there are many people who live in village and that people totally depend on government for their food and shelter .they can get these thing if subsidies given to farmers. it will good for farmer as well as our country and we will get every thing related to fields. it will also helpful for low cost food. so everyone can get every type of food.growth of farmer leads to economies and economies leads growth of India.
“No. Subsidies should not be stopped as farmers in this country are the backbone of every country”. In India it is crucial as
-Growth of farmers leads to growth of exporting as well our needs to meets import perishable goods from other country.
-It will help in low cost food.
– checking inflation of food items.
-better business opportunity.
-Growth of farmers will lead to better quality of life and in down the road if they have good market they may not require subsidies.
in my openion agricultural susidies should not be stopped but it must be handeled in a proper way so that really needed poor farmers are able to get the financial stability because a wide part of indian econmy depend on agriculture ,there fore it must be handled in a proper way ….
We cannot think of stopping the agricultural subsidies because India is a developing country where more than 70% population depends on agriculture for its survival. Besides, most of the villagers are poor and illiterate. Subsidies given to them are an aid which reduce their incapability to become self-reliant. Also by giving them subsidies, government can make them satisfied and thus, motivates them to grow more and more so as to fulfill the need of hunger. When farmers get subsidies, they do their agricultural work with comparatively more diligence and thus, we get better produce. So, in our country we should not stop subsidies given to farmers
Agriculture subsidies are the subsidies given to the farmers and agriculture based businesses to manage, build the agriculture based enterprise.
as we know that agriculture constitute about 70% of Indian GDP, a large number of people are dependent on agriculture for their survival.
ndia’s vast subsidies have been severely criticised by the World Bank as increasing economic inefficiency but it does not consider that it contributes about 40% to its GDP.
As the agriculture of India is mainly dependent on monsoons is greatly affected by flood and drought conditions in this case the only hope for farmers is the subsidies and various plans of government to help those poor farmers that have very less lands and can’t afford to spend on seeds and fertilizers.
with the upcoming NATIONAL FOOD SECURITY BILL the availability of food grains should be must so that we have not to import it from other countries in that case agriculture subsidies must be given to the people of India.
Agricultural Subsidies should not be stopped in my opinion because it will effect the common man in a negative way with increase in cost of daily necesities. I agree that the govenment should deal with the obstacles farmers in India are facing.
Agriculture subsides should not be stopped but must be handled in a proper way so that the real needy n poor farmer are able to get the financial stability because a wide part of Indian economy depend upon agriculture,,,,
No, certainly not because India is an agricultural country where the prime occupation of a large group of people is agriculture and in this Price booming time, if subsidies will not be given then Agricultural activities will be affected and thus the Common Man.
95% of farmer in our country comes under villages holding small land who are not able to do cultivation without subsidies.& We all know that agriculture input is crucial thing for cultivation of land and our farmer can not afford that much of costly input… It gives employment to many people of India belonging to rural areas. so according to me agriculture should not all banned..
farmer should be extra knowlede of the subdies because we know that ,the farmer who living in the village they don’t know about the subsidies and their is some people are eletrate .they do not know about the methods of farming but they lives in the small viledeges and the way of their living is only farming so they should aware to the farming.the goverment shiuld provides the teching metod .these method provides the way for their work and they will easily live their life.because they have money problems more than to the cities people.so teching of method is very importent foe the farmer.

The occupation which is feeding the entire nation should never be aborted from being a subsidy..We are not paying proper attention towards it …
60-70 % Indian population are living in villages and most of them depend upon farming for their survival…that’s why subsidy from government will help them for more and more number of production. In place of removing subsidy , government should try to give more n more information about it through campaign , tv, radio or other means of communication so that they know more and utilize the benefit of it.
My opinion for the given statement is no.It should not be stopped because agriculture being the most important part as it utilizes our mother land and provides us crops and grains. & also the major importance is it gives employment to many people of India belonging to rural areas.
Agriculture subsidies should not at all banned because our country India is the land of agriculture and most of the employment are from that sectors only. Rather it should be encouraged so that gap between rich and poor gets reduced.
in India agriculture play an important role .because many people depend on agriculture land ,so many people of village are suffering to illiterate .so the main cause of farmer illiterate. and another cause of of agriculture is subsitution .in mostly village sector are depend on agriculture so different occure the gap betbeen poor anr rich people man.Government should take appropriate steps to face these challenges.
Providing higher rate of subsidies to the marginal farmers and lower rate to the rich farmers.
Providing appropriate teaching of innovative methods to every farmer.

I don’t think there is any need of stopping the subsidy provided to the farmers. Even subsidies should be increased in order to help them because this is the segment of society which is most affected on the change of economy.
Various pre measures can be taken by government so that farmers doesn’t need any subsidy like-
1. Integrating all the small land owned farmers to increase productivity.
2. Provide better and efficient irrigation methods in areas where there is scarcity of water.
3. Efficient deployment of various plans built by government.
Agricultural subsidies are the financial assistance to farmers through government-sponsored price-support programs. Agricultural subsidies are started to reduce the volatility of prices for farm products and to increase, or at least stabilize, farm income. it’s becoming a burden for government.
Agricultural subsidies distort free trade, damage the local environment.
A lot of agricultural subsidies go into corn-based bio-fuels instead of fruits and vegetables. Corn-based bio-fuels are not good for environment and health.
Subsidizing diesel for agriculture encourages excessive tillage and discourages to improve soil and moisture conservation.
60% of Indian economy is from agricultural based industries. So, we should give more importance to agriculture. It will be difficult for farmers to keep the total investment for crop. As a result farmers may change their career. It’ll be a biggest disadvantage for India. Because of agricultural subsidies, the price of food products will be in control. United States and Europe countries have subsidies for agriculture. So, if India stops agricultural subsidies, then there will be a risk of importing under-priced food from these countries. Through agricultural subsidies, more numbers of fields will be utilized. So, the Indian economy increases. There are so many cases of suicide of farmers which we are seeing regularly because of lack of support from government.
