Question

This system of co-operative effort eliminated the middlemen.a) to kill b) to remove c) to defeat d) to punish

Answer 1

Answer: Option (b) to remove

Explanation:

Sardar Vallabhai Patel was worried about the socio-economic condition of the cattle farmers of Gujarat. The farmers became the subject of exploitation in the hands of the middlemen as they were the only means through which could complete the transaction of selling their milk produce in the market.

The farmers were given meagre money for their produce. Therefore it became important to stop the manipulative activities of the middlemen to ensure a healthy condition for the poor farmers.

When Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel came to know about the exploitation of farmers in the hands of the middlemen, he was determined to bring an end to this. He advocated of forming a co-operative force that would provide a reasonable amount of money for the farmers and thus eliminate the role of middlemen completely from their lives.

He stressed upon the farmers to become self sustaining entrepreneurs  and work for themselves.
