Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu has once again emphasized the need for much-needed reforms in the agriculture sector to improve the status of the Indian farmers and make agriculture profitable. He’s called for cooperative action to achieve this and a dialogue with farmers and agricultural scientists to design a system that delivers tangible results to the farming community. Speaking at an event on Wednesday, the Vice President advised top priority and coordinated action by both the Centre and the states to bring in reforms. He also suggested that the 4 Ps - Parliament, political leaders, policymakers and press - must proactively adopt a positive bias towards agriculture. Observing that many people are leaving agriculture and migrating to urban areas because of rising input costs and unfavourable market conditions, he said the problems that are holding back Indian farmers from realising their full potential must be identified and solved. To make agriculture viable, Vice President Naidu called for long term policy changes like governance and structural reforms. What is it that can improve the state of agriculture in India - making it both profitable and sustainable - the challenges in the process and the new innovations that could help mitigate the risks in agriculture.
