&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;AMRITSAR: &lt;/em&gt;The first budget presented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi&#039;s government has deflated the expectations of farmers who were looking for &#039;achhe din&#039; ahead. With a major chunk of farmers reeling under debt, famers and their leaders were disappointed on finding that the finance minister&#039;s speech was silent on measures to address the crucial issue of farmer suicides.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;In Punjab, the state government&#039;s official figures put the farmers&#039; suicides between 2000 and 2011 at 6,926. But our sample survey found the number to be between 40,000 and 45,000. I wonder what the central government is waiting for? The budget indicates no succor for farmers to enable them to pay off their debts and make farming a profitable profession, &amp;quot; said Bharatiya Kissan Union (Ugrahan) general secretary Sukhdev Singh Kokrikalan while talking to TOI on Thursday.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&#039;We were expecting implementation of Land Reforms Act, recommendations of Swaminathan Commission on remunerative prices, debt waiver, but there was nothing in the Jaitely&#039;s budget to bring a smile on our faces,&amp;quot; he said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
State president of Jamhauri Kissan Sabha Dr. Satnam Singh Ajnala said that 12 Punjab farmers had committed suicide between April 10 and May 11 this year. And the only thing that the state government has done is to form a committee to come up with a comprehensive policy on the issue.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;This is not a logical solution to the problem. If the state government couldn&#039;t do anything , then Chief Minister PS Badal could have prevailed upon Modi to announce some facilities for farmers in his budget,&amp;quot; he said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He said no doubt the budget had provisions for developing farmers markets, post harvest lending to farmers, upliftment of marginal farmers , but it has skipped the crucial issue of farmer suicides completely.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A farmer Kundan Singh said the budget should have made spelled out provisions to help farmers come out of the vicious debt cycle by providing interest-free crop loans.

&lt;em&gt;AMRITSAR: &lt;/em&gt;The first budget presented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi&#039;s government has deflated the expectations of farmers who were looking for &#039;achhe din&#039; ahead. With a major chunk of farmers reeling under debt, famers and their leaders were disappointed on finding that the finance minister&#039;s speech was silent on measures to address the crucial issue of farmer suicides.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;In Punjab, the state government&#039;s official figures put the farmers&#039; suicides between 2000 and 2011 at 6,926. But our sample survey found the number to be between 40,000 and 45,000. I wonder what the central government is waiting for? The budget indicates no succor for farmers to enable them to pay off their debts and make farming a profitable profession, &amp;quot; said Bharatiya Kissan Union (Ugrahan) general secretary Sukhdev Singh Kokrikalan while talking to TOI on Thursday.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&#039;We were expecting implementation of Land Reforms Act, recommendations of Swaminathan Commission on remunerative prices, debt waiver, but there was nothing in the Jaitely&#039;s budget to bring a smile on our faces,&amp;quot; he said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
State president of Jamhauri Kissan Sabha Dr. Satnam Singh Ajnala said that 12 Punjab farmers had committed suicide between April 10 and May 11 this year. And the only thing that the state government has done is to form a committee to come up with a comprehensive policy on the issue.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;This is not a logical solution to the problem. If the state government couldn&#039;t do anything , then Chief Minister PS Badal could have prevailed upon Modi to announce some facilities for farmers in his budget,&amp;quot; he said.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He said no doubt the budget had provisions for developing farmers markets, post harvest lending to farmers, upliftment of marginal farmers , but it has skipped the crucial issue of farmer suicides completely.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A farmer Kundan Singh said the budget should have made spelled out provisions to help farmers come out of the vicious debt cycle by providing interest-free crop loans.

'Budget silent on crucial farmer suicide issue'

-The Times of India   AMRITSAR: The first budget presented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has deflated the expectations of farmers who were looking for 'achhe din' ahead. With a major chunk of farmers reeling under debt, famers and their leaders were disappointed on finding that the finance minister's speech was silent on measures to address the crucial issue of farmer suicides. "In Punjab, the state government's official figures put the farmers' suicides between 2000 and 2011 at 6,926. But our sample survey found the number to be between 40,000 and 45,000. I wonder what the central government is waiting for? The budget indicates no succor for farmers to enable them to pay off their debts and make farming a profitable profession, " said Bharatiya Kissan Union (Ugrahan) general secretary Sukhdev Singh Kokrikalan while talking to TOI on Thursday. 'We were expecting implementation of Land Reforms Act, recommendations of Swaminathan Commission on remunerative prices, debt waiver, but there was nothing in the Jaitely's budget to bring a smile on our faces," he said. State president of Jamhauri Kissan Sabha Dr. Satnam Singh Ajnala said that 12 Punjab farmers had committed suicide between April 10 and May 11 this year. And the only thing that the state government has done is to form a committee to come up with a comprehensive policy on the issue. "This is not a logical solution to the problem. If the state government couldn't do anything , then Chief Minister PS Badal could have prevailed upon Modi to announce some facilities for farmers in his budget," he said. He said no doubt the budget had provisions for developing farmers markets, post harvest lending to farmers, upliftment of marginal farmers , but it has skipped the crucial issue of farmer suicides completely. A farmer Kundan Singh said the budget should have made spelled out provisions to help farmers come out of the vicious debt cycle by providing interest-free crop loans.
