single solution to end the woes of farmers. Giving monetary relief is not an
effective solution. Here are some solutions that could help in improving the
state of the farmers:
- The dependency of agriculture on nature should be reduced.
This calls for effective management of water during seasons of good monsoons. - Making institutional finance available to every farmer is
another important solution to save to the farmers from debt traps of money
lenders. - Small farmers should be encouraged to develop alternative
sources of income and the government should take up the responsibility of
providing training to the farmers to acquire new skills.
The
sacrifice of our beloved leaders will be found worthy only if the poor
condition of farmers is improved to get the respect from the society. Being a
citizen of this great country, we all should come forward and help poor
farmers. So, the interest of the farmers should be enlightened at all
situations to make them a respectable citizen of a country. If India has to
shine, it is these farmers that need to be empowered.
