The 180-km protest march, christened the &amp;lsquo;Long March of Farmers&amp;rsquo;, steered by the Maharashtra unit of the CPM&amp;rsquo;s farmers&amp;rsquo; wing, the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), is the latest in a string of farmers&amp;rsquo; protests Maharashtra has seen in a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More than 30,000 farmers and tribals from across Maharashtra are currently marching to Mumbai from Nashik. They intend to surround Mantralaya, the state&amp;rsquo;s seat of power, when they reach the Maximum City on Monday, to protest against what they call the government&amp;rsquo;s breach of promises to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Young and old peasants, men and women are on the streets, halting along the roads or rivers, sleeping under the open sky, eating together, some of them walking bare feet, some of them playing the drums and flutes and singing folk songs, but briskly walking on to knock on the government&amp;rsquo;s doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 180-km protest march, christened the &amp;lsquo;Long March of Farmers&amp;rsquo;, steered by the Maharashtra unit of the CPM&amp;rsquo;s farmers&amp;rsquo; wing, the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), is the latest in a string of farmers&amp;rsquo; protests Maharashtra has seen in a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The peasants are reaching Mumbai when the state legislature is in Budget Session. The state finance minister Sudhir Mungantiwar presented yet another &amp;ldquo;farmer-friendly&amp;rdquo; Budget for 2018-19, a day after the Economic Survey for 2017-18 showed a severe constriction of farm economy last fiscal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clearly, the marching protestors aren&amp;rsquo;t impressed. &amp;lsquo;Acche Din&amp;rsquo;, alas, are nowhere to be seen, they say.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;SHRINKING FARM ECONOMY&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While the Devendra Fadnavis government claims it has delivered on its loan waiver promise and is doing more than what previous governments did for agriculture, why are farmers in Maharashtra angry?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ravaged fields, sluggish delivery of loan waiver, and the Economic Survey yield some answers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vidarbha and Marathwada have seen an unprecedented devastation of cotton crop due to pink-worm attack &amp;mdash; government&amp;rsquo;s estimates district to district hover between 30% and 70%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tribal areas of north and eastern Maharashtra are witnessing a strong opposition by the BJP-Shiv Sena government to grant the community forest rights to the tribal communities under the Forest Rights Act. There has been a severe dent to rural and agriculture economy this past fiscal, following a 16% drop in long-term annual average rainfall furthering a sharp decline in farm yields across all commodities, save sugarcane that is witnessing bumper production, but it occupies barely 6 lakh ha of nearly 20 million ha cultivable land in the state.&lt;br /&gt;

The 180-km protest march, christened the &amp;lsquo;Long March of Farmers&amp;rsquo;, steered by the Maharashtra unit of the CPM&amp;rsquo;s farmers&amp;rsquo; wing, the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), is the latest in a string of farmers&amp;rsquo; protests Maharashtra has seen in a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More than 30,000 farmers and tribals from across Maharashtra are currently marching to Mumbai from Nashik. They intend to surround Mantralaya, the state&amp;rsquo;s seat of power, when they reach the Maximum City on Monday, to protest against what they call the government&amp;rsquo;s breach of promises to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Young and old peasants, men and women are on the streets, halting along the roads or rivers, sleeping under the open sky, eating together, some of them walking bare feet, some of them playing the drums and flutes and singing folk songs, but briskly walking on to knock on the government&amp;rsquo;s doors.&lt;br /&gt;

The 180-km protest march, christened the &amp;lsquo;Long March of Farmers&amp;rsquo;, steered by the Maharashtra unit of the CPM&amp;rsquo;s farmers&amp;rsquo; wing, the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), is the latest in a string of farmers&amp;rsquo; protests Maharashtra has seen in a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The peasants are reaching Mumbai when the state legislature is in Budget Session. The state finance minister Sudhir Mungantiwar presented yet another &amp;ldquo;farmer-friendly&amp;rdquo; Budget for 2018-19, a day after the Economic Survey for 2017-18 showed a severe constriction of farm economy last fiscal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clearly, the marching protestors aren&amp;rsquo;t impressed. &amp;lsquo;Acche Din&amp;rsquo;, alas, are nowhere to be seen, they say.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;SHRINKING FARM ECONOMY&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While the Devendra Fadnavis government claims it has delivered on its loan waiver promise and is doing more than what previous governments did for agriculture, why are farmers in Maharashtra angry?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ravaged fields, sluggish delivery of loan waiver, and the Economic Survey yield some answers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vidarbha and Marathwada have seen an unprecedented devastation of cotton crop due to pink-worm attack &amp;mdash; government&amp;rsquo;s estimates district to district hover between 30% and 70%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tribal areas of north and eastern Maharashtra are witnessing a strong opposition by the BJP-Shiv Sena government to grant the community forest rights to the tribal communities under the Forest Rights Act. There has been a severe dent to rural and agriculture economy this past fiscal, following a 16% drop in long-term annual average rainfall furthering a sharp decline in farm yields across all commodities, save sugarcane that is witnessing bumper production, but it occupies barely 6 lakh ha of nearly 20 million ha cultivable land in the state.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The 180-km protest march, christened the &amp;lsquo;Long March of Farmers&amp;rsquo;, steered by the Maharashtra unit of the CPM&amp;rsquo;s farmers&amp;rsquo; wing, the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), is the latest in a string of farmers&amp;rsquo; protests Maharashtra has seen in a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More than 30,000 farmers and tribals from across Maharashtra are currently marching to Mumbai from Nashik. They intend to surround Mantralaya, the state&amp;rsquo;s seat of power, when they reach the Maximum City on Monday, to protest against what they call the government&amp;rsquo;s breach of promises to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Young and old peasants, men and women are on the streets, halting along the roads or rivers, sleeping under the open sky, eating together, some of them walking bare feet, some of them playing the drums and flutes and singing folk songs, but briskly walking on to knock on the government&amp;rsquo;s doors.&lt;br /&gt;

The 180-km protest march, christened the &amp;lsquo;Long March of Farmers&amp;rsquo;, steered by the Maharashtra unit of the CPM&amp;rsquo;s farmers&amp;rsquo; wing, the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), is the latest in a string of farmers&amp;rsquo; protests Maharashtra has seen in a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The peasants are reaching Mumbai when the state legislature is in Budget Session. The state finance minister Sudhir Mungantiwar presented yet another &amp;ldquo;farmer-friendly&amp;rdquo; Budget for 2018-19, a day after the Economic Survey for 2017-18 showed a severe constriction of farm economy last fiscal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clearly, the marching protestors aren&amp;rsquo;t impressed. &amp;lsquo;Acche Din&amp;rsquo;, alas, are nowhere to be seen, they say.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;SHRINKING FARM ECONOMY&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While the Devendra Fadnavis government claims it has delivered on its loan waiver promise and is doing more than what previous governments did for agriculture, why are farmers in Maharashtra angry?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ravaged fields, sluggish delivery of loan waiver, and the Economic Survey yield some answers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vidarbha and Marathwada have seen an unprecedented devastation of cotton crop due to pink-worm attack &amp;mdash; government&amp;rsquo;s estimates district to district hover between 30% and 70%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tribal areas of north and eastern Maharashtra are witnessing a strong opposition by the BJP-Shiv Sena government to grant the community forest rights to the tribal communities under the Forest Rights Act. There has been a severe dent to rural and agriculture economy this past fiscal, following a 16% drop in long-term annual average rainfall furthering a sharp decline in farm yields across all commodities, save sugarcane that is witnessing bumper production, but it occupies barely 6 lakh ha of nearly 20 million ha cultivable land in the state.&lt;br /&gt;

The 180-km protest march, christened the &amp;lsquo;Long March of Farmers&amp;rsquo;, steered by the Maharashtra unit of the CPM&amp;rsquo;s farmers&amp;rsquo; wing, the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), is the latest in a string of farmers&amp;rsquo; protests Maharashtra has seen in a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More than 30,000 farmers and tribals from across Maharashtra are currently marching to Mumbai from Nashik. They intend to surround Mantralaya, the state&amp;rsquo;s seat of power, when they reach the Maximum City on Monday, to protest against what they call the government&amp;rsquo;s breach of promises to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Young and old peasants, men and women are on the streets, halting along the roads or rivers, sleeping under the open sky, eating together, some of them walking bare feet, some of them playing the drums and flutes and singing folk songs, but briskly walking on to knock on the government&amp;rsquo;s doors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 180-km protest march, christened the &amp;lsquo;Long March of Farmers&amp;rsquo;, steered by the Maharashtra unit of the CPM&amp;rsquo;s farmers&amp;rsquo; wing, the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), is the latest in a string of farmers&amp;rsquo; protests Maharashtra has seen in a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The peasants are reaching Mumbai when the state legislature is in Budget Session. The state finance minister Sudhir Mungantiwar presented yet another &amp;ldquo;farmer-friendly&amp;rdquo; Budget for 2018-19, a day after the Economic Survey for 2017-18 showed a severe constriction of farm economy last fiscal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clearly, the marching protestors aren&amp;rsquo;t impressed. &amp;lsquo;Acche Din&amp;rsquo;, alas, are nowhere to be seen, they say.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;SHRINKING FARM ECONOMY&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While the Devendra Fadnavis government claims it has delivered on its loan waiver promise and is doing more than what previous governments did for agriculture, why are farmers in Maharashtra angry?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ravaged fields, sluggish delivery of loan waiver, and the Economic Survey yield some answers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vidarbha and Marathwada have seen an unprecedented devastation of cotton crop due to pink-worm attack &amp;mdash; government&amp;rsquo;s estimates district to district hover between 30% and 70%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tribal areas of north and eastern Maharashtra are witnessing a strong opposition by the BJP-Shiv Sena government to grant the community forest rights to the tribal communities under the Forest Rights Act. There has been a severe dent to rural and agriculture economy this past fiscal, following a 16% drop in long-term annual average rainfall furthering a sharp decline in farm yields across all commodities, save sugarcane that is witnessing bumper production, but it occupies barely 6 lakh ha of nearly 20 million ha cultivable land in the state.&lt;br /&gt;

Plagued by Promises, Furious Farmers of Maharashtra are Pounding on the CM's Door -Jaideep Hardikar

-News18.com The 180-km protest march, christened the ‘Long March of Farmers’, steered by the Maharashtra unit of the CPM’s farmers’ wing, the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), is the latest in a string of farmers’ protests Maharashtra has seen in a year. More than 30,000 farmers and tribals from across Maharashtra are currently marching to Mumbai from Nashik. They intend to surround Mantralaya, the state’s seat of power, when they reach the Maximum City on Monday, to protest against what they call the government’s breach of promises to them. Young and old peasants, men and women are on the streets, halting along the roads or rivers, sleeping under the open sky, eating together, some of them walking bare feet, some of them playing the drums and flutes and singing folk songs, but briskly walking on to knock on the government’s doors. The 180-km protest march, christened the ‘Long March of Farmers’, steered by the Maharashtra unit of the CPM’s farmers’ wing, the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), is the latest in a string of farmers’ protests Maharashtra has seen in a year. The peasants are reaching Mumbai when the state legislature is in Budget Session. The state finance minister Sudhir Mungantiwar presented yet another “farmer-friendly” Budget for 2018-19, a day after the Economic Survey for 2017-18 showed a severe constriction of farm economy last fiscal. Clearly, the marching protestors aren’t impressed. ‘Acche Din’, alas, are nowhere to be seen, they say. SHRINKING FARM ECONOMY While the Devendra Fadnavis government claims it has delivered on its loan waiver promise and is doing more than what previous governments did for agriculture, why are farmers in Maharashtra angry? Ravaged fields, sluggish delivery of loan waiver, and the Economic Survey yield some answers. Vidarbha and Marathwada have seen an unprecedented devastation of cotton crop due to pink-worm attack — government’s estimates district to district hover between 30% and 70%. The tribal areas of north and eastern Maharashtra are witnessing a strong opposition by the BJP-Shiv Sena government to grant the community forest rights to the tribal communities under the Forest Rights Act. There has been a severe dent to rural and agriculture economy this past fiscal, following a 16% drop in long-term annual average rainfall furthering a sharp decline in farm yields across all commodities, save sugarcane that is witnessing bumper production, but it occupies barely 6 lakh ha of nearly 20 million ha cultivable land in the state.
