Directions—(Q. 1–15) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Certain words have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the
questions.
We should recognise the indebtedness of the country to its farm families who toil to safeguard
national food security. Loan waiver is the price we have to pay for the neglect of rural India over the
past several decades. There has been a gradual decline in investment in key sectors related to
agriculture such as infrastructure, marketing, post harvest technology etc. The four crore farmers
whose debt is to be relieved will be eligible for institutional credit for their cultivation expenses
during Kharif 2008. The challenge is to prevent them from getting into the debt trap again. For this
purpose the Central and various State governments should set up an Indebted Farmers’ Support
Consortium, comprising scientists, panchayat raj officials and others relevant to assisting farmers to
improve the profitability and productivity of their farms in an environmentally sustainable manner.
The smaller the farm, the greater is the need for marketable surplus to reduce indebtedness.
The Indebted Farmers’ Support Consortium should aim to get all the four crore farmers all the
benefits of the government schemes such as the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana, Irrigation Benefit
Programme and others. If this is done, every farm family released from the debt trap should be able
to produce at least an additional half tonne per hectare of foodgrains. This should help increase food
production by about 20 million tonnes by 2008-10. At a time when global and national food stocks
are dwindling and prices are rising, this will be a timely gain for our national food security. We need
to ensure that the outcome of the debt waiver is enhanced farmers’ income and production. The
prevailing gap between potential and actual yields in the crops of rainfed areas such as pulses and
oilseeds is over 200 per cent even with the necessary technologies on the shelf. We are now
importing without duty large quantities of pulses and oilseeds. If helped, farmers can produce these
at a lower cost.
Opportunities for assured and remunerative marketing are essential if loan waiver is not to become
a recurring event leading to the destruction of the credit system. This is why the Minimum Support
Price is necessary for all, not just for a few crops which is the case at present. This is the single most
effective step to make loan waivers history. There is another urgent step which needs to be taken.
The loan waiver does not cover those who borrow from moneylenders. It will not be possible for the
government to scrutinise the veracity of such private deals but steps can be taken such as giving
them Smart Cards which will entitle them to essential inputs like seeds and fertilizers. The gram
sabha can be entrusted with the task of identifying these farmers so that there is transparency in the
process and elimination of the chances for falsification and corruption. Fear of occasional misuse
should not come in the way of enabling millions of poor farmers who have borrowed from informal
sources if we are to achieve the goal of four per cent growth in agriculture.
