FARM REFORM: ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST
The farm bills have sparked a major controversy with the government claiming that they will give farmers the freedom to sell their produce anywhere in the country and to any one they want. The opposition parties argue the bills could destroy the existing system of Minimum Support Price (MSP) and the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) markets, leaving farmers at the mercy of big corporations. The study explains the reforms; expert arguments in favour and against the reform. It also gives a farmer’s perspective.
