EXCLUSIVE: Truth about Modi government's claims about doubling of farmers income

Himanshu, an 18-year-old resident of Khurshidpura village of Gautam Buddha Nagar’s Dadri block, was surprised when told that his income had doubled, that he owned five acres of land, and earned Rs 5 lakh each year.
These figures were from a book released by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research about 75,000 farmers whose income had doubled in 2022. Himanshu, along with his father Surendra, was among the 110 farmers from the district named in the publication.
“These are all lies,” said Surinder, claiming that Himanshu neither had an income nor any land.
He wasn’t the only one.

What hurts me more is that ICAR has been compromised. Each and every institutions have been dismantled by this government.

[@nobodyrobert.]

Each and all government institutions are compromised

[@simmisgeorge7299]

This fact is what people don't want to know the importance of....that our institutions are under seige and nothing can be more dangerous

[@user-lq1bw1sy8k]

Would love to keep donating whatever little I can to listen to such ground reporting. Wonderful job! Keep going and keep us going.

[@user-pq2pu6vp3m]

These farmers should file case against ICAR for defamation

[@publicvoice2360]

Brilliant reporting I wish Andbhakt apni aankhe khol len…..Godi Media kabhi aisi khabar nahi dikhayega

[@killa1234560]

how is this great reporting , there is no link to see the data they mention , nor did they do more check up rather then take the farmers at thier word , they should have asked for documents and bank statements to see if they are correct , you are being gamed the same way those on the right called andbhakt but most indians are to stupid to see

[@debolina19]

Utterly shameful of this govt..very good reporting

[@ankikapriya3510]

[@tingneihatkuki8337]

Wow! Brilliant reporting from the ground. They should really ask the government to provide them the rest of the field area and finance as documented. After all the government document cannot lie.🤔😉✌️

[@vishnupeketi7596]

They did lie...

[@tingneihatkuki8337]

​@@vishnupeketi7596There is satire and sarcasm in my comments🙂✌️
