Recently the Indian Parliament enacted three laws related to the farming sector in India. The move was aimed at facilitating ease of trade between the farmers and the corporates so that farmers could get a better price for their produce. The acts were aimed at providing an additional option to the farming community over and above the existing system of APMC mandis. The reforms were in the pipeline for over a decade but couldn't make their way through due to numerous political factors. These reforms were advocated by different agriculturists, economists, farmer unions, and political parties over a course of time to strengthen the financial position of the annadaataa.    But as soon as the reforms were introduced by the Modi Govt, vehement opposition was made by the farmers union fearing that the reforms will destroy the mandis, will do away with the MSP, and will put the livelihood of the farmers at the hands of the corporates.   Opposition parties looking at the intensity of the protests soon took over the narrative and is trying to push over their own agenda under the veil of advocating for the farmers. The farmers have refused to negotiate with the government, and want nothing but total revocation of the acts.  The government on its side is trying to negotiate with the farm unions through different rounds of meeting and is ready to amend the laws for the betterment of the community. But the farmers are continuing with their protests and have jammed the borders of Delhi.  So to look into the constitutionality of the law, and whether it is in the interest of the farmers or not, today I am in conversation with Shri Sudeep Krishna, a student of BA LLB Hons at Jamia Millia Islamia. We have discussed at length the validity of the acts, the vested interest of different stakeholders, the responsibility of the government, and what we as youth are supposed to do.  Do listen to the complete podcast to get a sense of the new farm acts, and what to expect from them.
