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 atimely 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. 1. What is the likely impact of ensuring farmers’ benefit from government schemes ? 1. They can use the credit from these schemes to repay moneylenders. 2. The government can control the price rise. 3. Increased agricultural production. (A) Both 1 and 2 (B) All 1, 2 and 3 (C) Only 3 (D) Both 2 and 3 (E) None of these 2. Why does the author feel that rural India has been overlooked in the past ? 1. Institutional credit was only made available for Kharif crops. 2. Drop in investment in central areas related to agriculture. 3. Records of those eligible for loan waivers have not been maintained over time. (A) Only 2 (B) Both 1 and 2 (C) Only 3 (D) All 1, 2 and 3 (E) None of these 3. How can small farmers avoid debt ? (A) They need to acquire additional land holdings (B) They need to take advantage of both government schemes as well as credit from moneylenders (C) They have to ensure a sufficient amount of their farm produce is sold (D) The Government should provide periodic loan waivers (E) None of these 4. What is the objective of the Indebted Farmers’ Support Consortium ? (A) It is a support group for the families of indebted farmers (B) It has to devise new government schemes for farmers (C) It has to track farmers eligible for government schemes (D) It has to evaluate government schemes and weed out the inefficient ones (E) None of these 5. What does the author mean by the phrase “indebtedness of the country to its farm families” ? (A) If farmers are in debt it impacts the entire country (B) Citizens should be grateful to farmers and their families for the hardships borne by them to cultivate crops (C) India’s food production has fallen causing it to be in debt since it has to import food (D) The number of farmers’ descendants taking up agriculture has fallen. (E) None of these 6. What is the author’s opinion of recurring loan waivers ? (A) They are beneficial to farmers (B) They are detrimental to the system of lending. (C) They will reduce the need for a Minimum Support Price for agricultural products (D) Farmers will no longer be in debt to moneylenders (E) None of these 7. Which of the following is TRUE in the context of the passage ? (A) The Minimum Support Price for agricultural products is yet to be implemented (B) Loan waiver is a permanent solution to indebtedness of farmers (C) Current agricultural growth is below four per cent (D) India’s food production has increased in 2008 (E) Moneylenders benefit from loan waivers 8. Why does the loan waiver not cover credit taken from moneylenders ? 1. It is difficult to verify these contracts between farmers and moneylenders. 2. It will increase the deficit in the budget. 3. There is a risk that the funds may be misappropriated. (A) Both 1 and 3 (B) All 1, 2 and 3 (C) Only 2 (D) Both 1 and 2 (E) None of these 9. Why is there a vast gap in actual and potential yields of crops in rainfed areas ? (A) The government prefers to import these crops at a lower rate (B) No technological advances have been made to improve the growth of crops in these areas (C) There is no Minimum Support Price available for these crops (D) Farmers are forced to sell these crops at a low rate (E) None of these 10. How does the government intend to ensure transparency in the Smart card issuance process ?
