essay on farmers nations pride
Answers
Answer:
Indian farmers have stayed a neglected community for decades despite their huge contribution in the economy of the nation. Indian farmers are the backbone of its economy as Indian economy is primarily an agriculture based economy. Statics reveal that Indian agriculture sector accounts for 18% of India are Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and provide employment to nearly 50% of work force. Unfortunately, despite being the main players in such big industry, Indian farmers are constantly subjected to harassment, nonpayment or lower payment of crops and other yields, subjecting them to incur losses and face poverty.
India is the largest producer of wheat, rice, pulses and spices and has abundant scope for growth in agriculture sector. If farmers get an assured (Minimum Support Price) MSP for their produces and also if the functioning of trade is made digital, eliminating middle men, then the financial state of farmers will improve as they will get the fair and deserved price for their yields. The plight of Indian farmers and also the improvements in agriculture fields witnessed in some places, due to new laws and policies provide an important issue to discuss in schools and on other social and political platforms.

Hon’ble Principal Ma’am, Respected Teachers and My Dear Friends!
Today, we all are gathered here for an event especially organized by the school as a way of showing our gratitude towards the Indian Farmers. I know that this is quite unexpected for most of you because the farmers in our country are not really appreciated in a way in which they should be. We have invited some of the respected farmers of the country as a guest for today’s event and it is my honor to host this event. Before the event begins, I would like to deliver a speech in the respect of our Indian Farmers.
Our country is a land rich in agriculture. About 75% of our population resides in villages and most of them are farmers. Many villages still don’t have proper facilities and availability of resources like raw materials etc. But apart from all difficulties they still grow crops for us to meet our requirements, facing all the adversities. They are equally respectful just like a soldier but the bitter truth about our country is that these farmers are respected only verbally but not in the practical life. They face extreme financial distress due to which they suffer depression and often suicide due to excessive burden of loan which they could not pay from a small amount of income.
The government is obviously responsible for this because the prices are too low according to the economic condition of the country. Due to the negligence of the government, the condition of our farmers is getting worst day by day. They do not have enough money to meet their family’s daily requirement, making their life comfortable is still a distant dream for them. They can’t afford proper clothes and still live in the houses made of mud. These houses are not even properly ventilated, and every corner screams the plight of penury faced by the occupants.
Our government has launched few policies and taken some steps for improving the condition of the Indian Farmers showing little progress. New technologies have been introduced to the agricultural industries and new methods of farming and better quality of raw material reducing the risks. Government is also providing compensation to the farmers in case of losses incurred due to natural calamity. Government is providing education, electricity, good roads and proper supply of water. There have been many establishments of government schools and hospitals in rural areas. But not only the government is responsible to improve their condition but every citizen has to respect the work of a farmer and the food he create by not wasting it.
On this note, I would like to conclude my speech and thank every respected farmer who works hard every day to grow food for us. I would also like to extend special thanks to our hon’ble principle ma’am who gave us the idea to create an event in school to celebrate this auspicious day.
Thank you and I wish you all a great day ahead!
Answer:
Farmers are nation’s pride
There is no denying the fact Indian farmers are the nation’s pride. India is marching on the road of success because of the farmers. They have played a pivotal role in making our country self-reliant in food grains, fruits, vegetables, and milk production. They provided Indian economy the much needed impetus by bringing green revolution.
Agriculture sector in India contributes to GDP in a big way. 50 % of workforce is employed in this sector; share of agriculture in GDP is 18 %.
Farmers in our country work day and night facing all the troubles. They are living under the burden of huge debts; but still they continue to work hard to produce agricultural goods. The Government should provide more facilities to them and make their lot better.
