Budget 2024: What's in it for agriculture?

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said she has allocated about ₹ 1.50 lakh crore to the agriculture sector.

Almost all major schemes for farmers have seen an increase in allocation compared to her previous budgets. However, the fertilisers subsidy is down by about Rs.1 lakh crore when compared to the actual expenditure in 2022-23. To address the price rise, the Finance Ministry has also provided ₹ 10,000 crore to the price stabilisation fund. Farmers are supposed to get a benefit of this fund. In the last budget, the allocation for this fund was just ₹ 10 lakh.

The fertilisers ministry will get about Rs 1.64 lakh crore in this financial year. In 2022-23, the Ministry spent about Rs 2.51 lakh crore to ensure fertilisers for farmers. It has to be seen how farmers’ organisations such as the Samyukt Kisan Morcha will look into these suggestions especially when their demand for a statutory minimum support price does not find a place in this budget too.

The Hindu newspaper should now better explain the 'Land Titling Act' introduced by the previous govt. of AP(which was following the decision of NITI Ayog) and explain the lies of those who spread the wrong narrative to garner votes for the election and gave vast advertisements and also explain the losses the AP will incur due to the cancellation of the Act today in the Assembly in light of the present budget on the same.
Hope 'The Hindu' paper rightly publishes any article in 'truth' and is not carried away by the untrue deceiving narratives of Eenadu without verifying.
