Bihar agrarian crisis : Why crores in diesel subsidies may not be the answer -Zumbish

-Down to Earth

Funds allocated in July for diesel subsidy haven't reached many farmers yet; irrigation projects needed, say locals

The agriculture department of the Bihar government has allocated Rs 100 crore in diesel subsidy October 14, 2022 to help distressed farmers get diesel subsidy. 

The plan announced in a public address by the newly appointed agriculture minister of the state, Kumar Sarvajeet, is in line with the state’s action plan to help alleviate the financial burden of the farmers in the wake of the agrarian crisis since June.

Under the plan, Rs 700 per acre of land will be transferred to farmers to buy diesel for agricultural purposes, including irrigation.

The state's farmers, however, called this move an eyewash and a stop-gap arrangement that is not enough to improve the situation.
