This time in Madhya Pradesh is the rainy season, and the harvest of fresh corals from farms is reaching the pavilions and government procurement centers. But for the farmers of Narmadapuram Zile, this season is not relief, but a symbol of struggle and humiliation.
🚜 Farmers standing in line from 10 days
Farmers are going to stand in line up to 10-10 days to sell their corals at Government Purchase Centres. The farmers are waiting for their number, without any proper arrangements, while in the rain. Many farmers’ harvests are getting worse in rain, but they are not getting any choice.
💰 Deep roots of corruption
On the other hand, Serware (Quality Investigation Officer) is involved in corruption, where farmers are honestly reaching their good quality mung centre. A poor quality mung is also passed by farmers who give money. But the real and good harvest of the farmer who does not give a bribe is rejected by saying "bad".
It is not only an insult of the hard work of the farmers, but also evidence of the failure of the government system.
◆ Small-resistance performance
The farmers in Narmadapuram Zile took a voice against this injustice. In many places, the farmers landed on the road and publicized their suffering. But unfortunately, neither any MP nor any MLA (MLA) has come to meet farmers so far. There is no solid response from the government.
🌱 Farmers Demand
- Ensure fairness of the Surveyor
- The purchase process is transparent and digitalized
- In the rainy season there is an immediate arrangement to protect the crop
- Have actions on corrupt authorities
- Farmers get respectable value and behavior
📅 Demand for increasing the purchase period
A major demand for farmers is also that at least the period of government purchase of Mung One month to be extended. The harvesting and transport of the crop is currently delayed due to rains, so many farmers are not able to reach their harvest center on time.
- Crop harvesting and loosening barriers in rainy season
- The number of farmers does not come in time due to long queues and slow process
- All farmers will get equal opportunities from an additional month purchase period
- Prevent crop waste and economic losses
The Government must take this practical demand of farmers seriously and provide relief by increasing the purchase period.
Farmers are the backbone of the country, but when the same spine is broken, it reflects the weakness of the whole system. Narmadapuram farmers’ voice cannot be pressed. It is time that the government will go, improve the system and make the farmers happier.
