Explanation:

The 34th All India Conference of Kisan Sabha (AIKS)is underway in Hisar, Haryana. The last time the AIKS conference happened in Hisar was 25 years ago, in 1992.

That year, the Kisan Sabha had brought out a charter of demands opposing the neoliberal reforms that were underway then, pointing out that the new economic policies were harmful for farmers and for people in general.Many other farmers’ organisations then had positive expectations from the policies initiated by the central government.

Leaders of the Kisan Sabha said that today most of the farmers’ organisations have also come to an understanding similar to that of the Kisan Sabha’s. Farmers across the country are in distress and facing extreme crisis. Therefore the 34th conference in Hisaris significant for the peasant movement.
