&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;To double farmers&amp;rsquo; income reduce the number of farmers, suggest policy makers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Among senior officials in the Union government and members of the Niti Aayog, conversations now start and end with one subject: &amp;ldquo;doubling farmers&amp;rsquo; income by 2022&amp;rdquo;. Clearly, the obsession with open defecation-free India is over as, unofficially, India has achieved the target before the October 2019 deadline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the new target to double farmers&amp;rsquo; income by 2022 has officials scrambling for &amp;ldquo;specific ways&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is hardly anything new to offer for the agriculture sector barring the same old programmes assuring good returns to farmers, says a secretary to the Union government. &amp;ldquo;This is where this target is a difficult one to be described with specific points as the Prime Minister wants to know,&amp;rdquo; he adds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prime Minister Narendra Modi suggested a seven-point strategy to achieve the target. But conversations with officials often divert to accounting the income of a farmer, and also what to double and how to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There would be no more new programme to be declared for farmers in the near future. But officials already point out that they are more into calculating the target figure for 2022. For records&amp;rsquo; sake, none of them have an official estimate of income to be doubled by 2022. This is despite the fact that Prime Minister&amp;rsquo;s promise was to double income of farmers in 2015-16, when he made that promise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Income has been increasing fast in comparison to farm income. The gap between farm and non-farm incomes has grown from a ratio of 1:3 in the mid-1980s to 1:3.12 in 2011-12.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this context, the government&amp;rsquo;s strategy to increase income of farmers has very few options, says an official of the Union agriculture ministry. To achieve the target of doubling income over the 2015-16 level, according to various government estimates and also widely being accepted one, farmers&amp;rsquo; income must grow by 10.41 per cent annually until 2022-23.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The government&amp;rsquo;s strategy is to not just take into consideration the exact income from agriculture, but a farmer&amp;rsquo;s total income from all sources that include majorly non-farm sources. Economist Ramesh Chand has even said in his research paper for the NITI Aayog, the disparity between a farmer and a non-agriculture worker is so wide that it can only be bridged by:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Substantially increasing income from agriculture, or&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Reducing the number of farmers, so that the income is shared by fewer people (enhancing per capita income)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;To double farmers&amp;rsquo; income reduce the number of farmers, suggest policy makers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Among senior officials in the Union government and members of the Niti Aayog, conversations now start and end with one subject: &amp;ldquo;doubling farmers&amp;rsquo; income by 2022&amp;rdquo;. Clearly, the obsession with open defecation-free India is over as, unofficially, India has achieved the target before the October 2019 deadline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the new target to double farmers&amp;rsquo; income by 2022 has officials scrambling for &amp;ldquo;specific ways&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is hardly anything new to offer for the agriculture sector barring the same old programmes assuring good returns to farmers, says a secretary to the Union government. &amp;ldquo;This is where this target is a difficult one to be described with specific points as the Prime Minister wants to know,&amp;rdquo; he adds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prime Minister Narendra Modi suggested a seven-point strategy to achieve the target. But conversations with officials often divert to accounting the income of a farmer, and also what to double and how to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There would be no more new programme to be declared for farmers in the near future. But officials already point out that they are more into calculating the target figure for 2022. For records&amp;rsquo; sake, none of them have an official estimate of income to be doubled by 2022. This is despite the fact that Prime Minister&amp;rsquo;s promise was to double income of farmers in 2015-16, when he made that promise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Income has been increasing fast in comparison to farm income. The gap between farm and non-farm incomes has grown from a ratio of 1:3 in the mid-1980s to 1:3.12 in 2011-12.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this context, the government&amp;rsquo;s strategy to increase income of farmers has very few options, says an official of the Union agriculture ministry. To achieve the target of doubling income over the 2015-16 level, according to various government estimates and also widely being accepted one, farmers&amp;rsquo; income must grow by 10.41 per cent annually until 2022-23.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The government&amp;rsquo;s strategy is to not just take into consideration the exact income from agriculture, but a farmer&amp;rsquo;s total income from all sources that include majorly non-farm sources. Economist Ramesh Chand has even said in his research paper for the NITI Aayog, the disparity between a farmer and a non-agriculture worker is so wide that it can only be bridged by:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Substantially increasing income from agriculture, or&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Reducing the number of farmers, so that the income is shared by fewer people (enhancing per capita income)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;To double farmers&amp;rsquo; income reduce the number of farmers, suggest policy makers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Among senior officials in the Union government and members of the Niti Aayog, conversations now start and end with one subject: &amp;ldquo;doubling farmers&amp;rsquo; income by 2022&amp;rdquo;. Clearly, the obsession with open defecation-free India is over as, unofficially, India has achieved the target before the October 2019 deadline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the new target to double farmers&amp;rsquo; income by 2022 has officials scrambling for &amp;ldquo;specific ways&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is hardly anything new to offer for the agriculture sector barring the same old programmes assuring good returns to farmers, says a secretary to the Union government. &amp;ldquo;This is where this target is a difficult one to be described with specific points as the Prime Minister wants to know,&amp;rdquo; he adds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prime Minister Narendra Modi suggested a seven-point strategy to achieve the target. But conversations with officials often divert to accounting the income of a farmer, and also what to double and how to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There would be no more new programme to be declared for farmers in the near future. But officials already point out that they are more into calculating the target figure for 2022. For records&amp;rsquo; sake, none of them have an official estimate of income to be doubled by 2022. This is despite the fact that Prime Minister&amp;rsquo;s promise was to double income of farmers in 2015-16, when he made that promise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Income has been increasing fast in comparison to farm income. The gap between farm and non-farm incomes has grown from a ratio of 1:3 in the mid-1980s to 1:3.12 in 2011-12.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this context, the government&amp;rsquo;s strategy to increase income of farmers has very few options, says an official of the Union agriculture ministry. To achieve the target of doubling income over the 2015-16 level, according to various government estimates and also widely being accepted one, farmers&amp;rsquo; income must grow by 10.41 per cent annually until 2022-23.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The government&amp;rsquo;s strategy is to not just take into consideration the exact income from agriculture, but a farmer&amp;rsquo;s total income from all sources that include majorly non-farm sources. Economist Ramesh Chand has even said in his research paper for the NITI Aayog, the disparity between a farmer and a non-agriculture worker is so wide that it can only be bridged by:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Substantially increasing income from agriculture, or&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Reducing the number of farmers, so that the income is shared by fewer people (enhancing per capita income)&lt;br /&gt;

-Down to Earth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;To double farmers&amp;rsquo; income reduce the number of farmers, suggest policy makers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Among senior officials in the Union government and members of the Niti Aayog, conversations now start and end with one subject: &amp;ldquo;doubling farmers&amp;rsquo; income by 2022&amp;rdquo;. Clearly, the obsession with open defecation-free India is over as, unofficially, India has achieved the target before the October 2019 deadline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the new target to double farmers&amp;rsquo; income by 2022 has officials scrambling for &amp;ldquo;specific ways&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is hardly anything new to offer for the agriculture sector barring the same old programmes assuring good returns to farmers, says a secretary to the Union government. &amp;ldquo;This is where this target is a difficult one to be described with specific points as the Prime Minister wants to know,&amp;rdquo; he adds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prime Minister Narendra Modi suggested a seven-point strategy to achieve the target. But conversations with officials often divert to accounting the income of a farmer, and also what to double and how to do it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There would be no more new programme to be declared for farmers in the near future. But officials already point out that they are more into calculating the target figure for 2022. For records&amp;rsquo; sake, none of them have an official estimate of income to be doubled by 2022. This is despite the fact that Prime Minister&amp;rsquo;s promise was to double income of farmers in 2015-16, when he made that promise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Income has been increasing fast in comparison to farm income. The gap between farm and non-farm incomes has grown from a ratio of 1:3 in the mid-1980s to 1:3.12 in 2011-12.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this context, the government&amp;rsquo;s strategy to increase income of farmers has very few options, says an official of the Union agriculture ministry. To achieve the target of doubling income over the 2015-16 level, according to various government estimates and also widely being accepted one, farmers&amp;rsquo; income must grow by 10.41 per cent annually until 2022-23.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The government&amp;rsquo;s strategy is to not just take into consideration the exact income from agriculture, but a farmer&amp;rsquo;s total income from all sources that include majorly non-farm sources. Economist Ramesh Chand has even said in his research paper for the NITI Aayog, the disparity between a farmer and a non-agriculture worker is so wide that it can only be bridged by:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Substantially increasing income from agriculture, or&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Reducing the number of farmers, so that the income is shared by fewer people (enhancing per capita income)&lt;br /&gt;

Clearly, the obsession with open defecation-free India is over as, unofficially, India has achieved the target before the October 2019 deadline.<br />
<br />
But the new target to double farmers&rsquo; income by 2022 has officials scrambling for &ldquo;specific ways&rdquo;.<br />
<br />
There is hardly anything new to offer for the agriculture sector barring the same old programmes assuring good returns to farmers, says a secretary to the Union government. &ldquo;This is where this target is a difficult one to be described with specific points as the Prime Minister wants to know,&rdquo; he adds.<br />
<br />
Prime Minister Narendra Modi suggested a seven-point strategy to achieve the target. But conversations with officials often divert to accounting the income of a farmer, and also what to double and how to do it.<br />
<br />
There would be no more new programme to be declared for farmers in the near future. But officials already point out that they are more into calculating the target figure for 2022. For records&rsquo; sake, none of them have an official estimate of income to be doubled by 2022.

Income has been increasing fast in comparison to farm income. The gap between farm and non-farm incomes has grown from a ratio of 1:3 in the mid-1980s to 1:3.12 in 2011-12.<br />
<br />
In this context, the government&rsquo;s strategy to increase income of farmers has very few options, says an official of the Union agriculture ministry. To achieve the target of doubling income over the 2015-16 level, according to various government estimates and also widely being accepted one, farmers&rsquo; income must grow by 10.41 per cent annually until 2022-23.<br />
<br />
The government&rsquo;s strategy is to not just take into consideration the exact income from agriculture, but a farmer&rsquo;s total income from all sources that include majorly non-farm sources. Economist Ramesh Chand has even said in his research paper for the NITI Aayog, the disparity between a farmer and a non-agriculture worker is so wide that it can only be bridged by:<br />

'Accelerating exodus from farming key to achieve target of doubling income' -Richard Mahapatra

-Down to Earth To double farmers’ income reduce the number of farmers, suggest policy makers Among senior officials in the Union government and members of the Niti Aayog, conversations now start and end with one subject: “doubling farmers’ income by 2022”. Clearly, the obsession with open defecation-free India is over as, unofficially, India has achieved the target before the October 2019 deadline. But the new target to double farmers’ income by 2022 has officials scrambling for “specific ways”. There is hardly anything new to offer for the agriculture sector barring the same old programmes assuring good returns to farmers, says a secretary to the Union government. “This is where this target is a difficult one to be described with specific points as the Prime Minister wants to know,” he adds. Prime Minister Narendra Modi suggested a seven-point strategy to achieve the target. But conversations with officials often divert to accounting the income of a farmer, and also what to double and how to do it. There would be no more new programme to be declared for farmers in the near future. But officials already point out that they are more into calculating the target figure for 2022. For records’ sake, none of them have an official estimate of income to be doubled by 2022. This is despite the fact that Prime Minister’s promise was to double income of farmers in 2015-16, when he made that promise. Income has been increasing fast in comparison to farm income. The gap between farm and non-farm incomes has grown from a ratio of 1:3 in the mid-1980s to 1:3.12 in 2011-12. In this context, the government’s strategy to increase income of farmers has very few options, says an official of the Union agriculture ministry.
