All this has severely affected the farmers, who struggle to etch out a living.<br /> <br /> Consider the findings of National Sample Survey Organisation&rsquo;s (NSSO) 70th round: the average agricultural income (including livestock) per household is merely Rs. 3,800 per month. Even if this is complemented by income from other sources (as farmers are forced to do), our farmers still get Rs. 6,400 per month. Compare this to the mandated minimum salary of a government employee, which at Rs. 18,000 per month is nearly three times higher than what a farmer earns on average. Culturally we have hailed farmers in India as annadatas, and blessed them with annadata sukhibhava (&ldquo;May you prosper, provider of food&rdquo;).

Income Security Act: Securing a Life of Dignity & Security for India’s ‘Annadatas’ -Pushparaj Deshpande |
-TheWire.in
As a society, we should be ashamed that year after year, farmers beg for a decent livelihood and are forced to take their lives. Farming is widely recognised as a high risk venture and our farmers have had to grapple with adverse and unpredictable climatic conditions (drought, hailstorms, unseasonal rains, cyclones), unforeseen loss of crop (wild animals, technological failures, lack of irrigation) and a near complete absence of a supportive eco-system (lack of government support, non-remunerative prices, increasing input costs). All this has severely affected the farmers, who struggle to etch out a living. Consider the findings of National Sample Survey Organisation’s (NSSO) 70th round: the average agricultural income (including livestock) per household is merely Rs. 3,800 per month. Even if this is complemented by income from other sources (as farmers are forced to do), our farmers still get Rs. 6,400 per month. Compare this to the mandated minimum salary of a government employee, which at Rs. 18,000 per month is nearly three times higher than what a farmer earns on average. Culturally we have hailed farmers in India as annadatas, and blessed them with annadata sukhibhava (“May you prosper, provider of food”). Why then are we so indifferent towards their plight?
