The organisations demanded higher budgetary allocation for irrigation

Some farmers’ organisations have demanded the Centre announce an income guarantee law for them to ensure a minimum income when crops fail and also when prices crash due to a bumper harvest.

To be called the Remunerative and Universal Price Yield Assurance (RUPYA) Act, the legislation would guarantee a price deficiency payment in the event of a price crash, a market intervention scheme for perishables, price stabilisation fund for plantation crops and minimum support price for pulses and oilseeds.

The organisations, under the aegis of Swaraj Abhiyan, also plan to present a parallel farmers’ budget on February 1 and hold a farmers’ parliament. Farmers’ organisations such as Jai Kisan Andolan and others are part of the grouping. “This (income guarantee act) will ensure that millions of farmers of this country get a basic minimum pay for their hard labour, something which the government secures for its lowest level staff,” Yogendra Yadav, leader of Swaraj Abhiyan said.
