The NSS survey conceals more than it reveals. It gives the impression that there is at least some progress. But that is misleading.

One of the most popular slogans of the current farmers’ movement is that we are fighting for our “nasal aur fasal” — our progenies and produce. The latest official survey on the condition of farmers shows how true this is. The findings of this major government report released on 10 September 2021 should be a wake-up call, not just for policymakers and politicians, but for farmers and farmers’ movements as well.

So far, the response to this much-awaited NSS 77th Round on “Situation Assessment of Agricultural Households and Land and Livestock Holdings of Households in Rural India, 2019”, has focused on the news-y finding of an increase in the amount of loan due for an average farming family — a jump from Rs 47,000 to over Rs 74,000. This is worrisome, especially because of the underlying trend – the ‘better off’ the state or the farmer, the higher the pending loan. Yet, it is a symptom, not the disease. The real issue is farmers’ income or lack of it.
