All political parties are trying to woo the farmers and the issue of agrarian crisis has taken centre stage. Freedom from Debt and Guaranteed MSP as per Swaminathan Report, are a precursor to get agriculture back on track. The Telengana scheme is only a bonus whereas the farmers’ demand for a complete loan waiver by the Centre remains. The scheme has a clause that the unit for compensation would be the entire village and not an individual farmer. If the crop of the entire village is destroyed and even one farmer’s crop remains intact, the compensation will not be paid to anyone in the village.
