New Delhi, April 10 (TIWN) Three days ago a video from Madhya Pradesh’s Ratlam of a farmer dancing to the tune of drum beats with his produce of garlic at his feet went viral. He and scores of other farmers like him were getting a mere Rs 1.16 or less per kilogram of garlic, the same which was being sold at almost 100 times by the traders and wholesalers.
Along with the viral video, started the debate about how much exactly do the farmers get their due?
In 2016, on February 28, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced that his government planned to pursue such policies that the farmers’ income would double as India celebrates the 75th Independence Day in 2022.
