For the past three years, farmers have been protesting across India, demanding favourable policies or concrete initiatives that would get them a fair price for their produce. The Kisan long march from Nasik to Mumbai in March 2019, the All India Kisan Sabha’s protest in Delhi and the Bhartiya Kisan Union rally in 2018, protest by farmers of Tamil Nadu in 2017 .India’s last national census conducted every decade — in 2011 recorded nearly 15 million fewer farmers than there were in 1991. It said that 2,040 farmers quit agriculture every 24 hours. Cultivation costs have risen manifold since the mid-1990s, but the farmers’ incomes have stagnated or declined. This is a major cause for their dissatisfaction causing them to protest or move to cities for better employment opportunities. Small land holdings, low prices, weather induced crop loss have pushed farmers into cyclical debt. They demand implementation of Swaminathan committee report and loan waiver .Other Demands of Farmers: Increased minimum support prices (MSP), Cut in diesel prices, Reversal of NGT(National Green Tribunal) ban on ten-year-old diesel vehicles, Payment of pending sugarcane dues, the farmers are also demanding a special session of parliament dedicated to discussion around the agrarian distress. Coalition under the aegis of the All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee (AIKSCC) is also demanding that parliament pass two bills prepared by the AIKSCC – the freedom from indebtedness bill and a bill to guarantee remunerative MSP.
