KV Prabhu says controversial changes noticed recently on his organisation’s website could have been made well before his tenure started

The Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights Authority (PPV&FR) will work to protect farmers’ rights over plant varieties, its chairperson has reiterated to Down To Earth (DTE) after a controversy erupted recently over changes in its booklet.

On December 10, 2019, farmer organisations and activists had sent a letter to the chairperson and Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare, Narendra Singh Tomar, about the controversial interpretation of farmers’ rights in its Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) booklet.

The booklet, which could be downloaded from the organisation’s website, had claimed that only small and marginal farmers involved in subsistence farming were eligible to claim rights under the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers Rights (PPV&FR) Act, 2001.
