How to improve farmer's income


I would like to address the issues which we small farmers were facing with Government poor system. I saw Prime Minister scheme which is " Har Khet Ko pani" I appreciate this scheme but actually at ground level farmers not getting water from canals to fields for irrigation of crops. why because there were no such channels available to get waters from canals to fields. All are vanished by governments and no public servant came to check the existence of small canals with the land mapping. In records, existence available such as water transportation channels but actually condition is entirely opposite. 

Canal Cleaning was performed decade's ago .I don't remember exactly but all canals & rivers was blocked due to rubbish and growth of unwanted tiny plants inside the canals or rivers. who will be responsible for the cleaning of canals and rivers. if there is a department then why cleaning of rivers wasn't performed in last 10 years. It seems there is no department and there is shortage of labours and also government wants to save the expenditure. As prime minister initiated & launched the scheme in 2015 " Har Khet Ko Pani"  i think in Punjab very few farmers will get benefits for crops irrigation through canals. Only those will get benefits whom land is close to the water channels and canals, other will have to fight to get the canal water to the fields.



If the irrigation system improve then every farmer get water from canals, rivers or small water channels then I hope suicide rate become zero and minimal. In these days, Submersible & bore wells are being the media to irrigate the crops and there is no another option to take care the crops. Moreover, the major concern is that farmers investing lots of money on submersible pumps and bore-wells every year .This Putting extra burden on small farmers. How small farmer will survive with this much difficulties and headaches. If Government Really wants to extend the help to farmers then improve the system of irrigation,provide interest free loans , subsidy on farming equipment and pay good selling price to farmers.

Every state government must prepare the irrigation network with proper plan and implementation required. Center must come with clear plan to connect all the Rivers, Canals and reservoirs joining framework all over India. If all the rivers, Canals and reservoirs will be connected with each other then we can control floods and cyclone situation easily and bulk water can be compensated through this sytems. We need to study every details and plan can be developed and can be implemented on actual ground. 
Budget required.  

If Governments established good irrigation system in the country then it will also help in water conservation and nature resources will not disappear from land.Need to focus on planning and system which we are going to adopt. If there is good system , definitely you will get the positive outcome.

Lastly I would say that "Save farmer,Save India,Save economy"

  2. Good to see that people like you show care for India, indian farmers. Govt. Must act by approaching to farmers not only with discussions with agriculture leader who are just leaders but don't know about farming in depth. True story can be brought out by farmers only.
    Hope to see some positive action by govt. On this.
