Food security bill:-cheating to people of India

In Indian subcontinent main life supporting work is agriculture. Approximately 80% Indians live in villages and do agriculture   .But it is our draw back that after 66 years of independence we are still suffering from food insecurity .Farmers are still suiciding .Our agriculture is still based on monsoon .It is mood of monsoon that decides the yield ,if monsoon  becomes late  our crop destroys ,if monsoon have more rain ,then flood in some part of country again effecting the crops .Farmers are in debt due to grain insecurity, and when debt become huge they  suicide.

Now government of India have a food security act, according to it poor people will get cheap grain, it will give people food and will eliminate hunger in country. It will also use the grains that not get proper place to store .Surely this bill will ensure food for every Indian but in long run this act will deteriorate Indian economy and Indian currency.  People will get food but they will be not self employed.   

Food security act will provide people food but will it provide people a proper solution for food? They will get grain, how will they prepare food with fossil fuels have sky touching prices. It will not give solution to poor farmers so that their crops do not get damaged, will it give solution of suicide? Surely it will give grain but not solution.

Why all political parties are cheating people for their vote bank ?Opposition know that it will be not good in long run but not speaking due to vote bank.

Our main aim should be to empower people, making them self dependent, economic development of nation, empower nation, our aim should be to give every hand work.

India have potential to produce a large amount of grains or crops ,it only needs proper governance and proper framework on water drainage system for irrigation .In states like Bihar, Utter Pradesh there are number of canals for irrigation but due to lake of proper management and political will power these canals never see proper amount of water in it . Agriculture is based on water and nutrients .government of India is giving subsidy on   fertilisers but due to bad management it not reaches to farmers at proper time. There is not a proper market for farmers  all benefits is engulfed by middle man .Pesticide side effects on farmers .We are duty bound to tackle   these problems so that each farmers become  self dependent .it is time to eliminate poverty ,not only to give food to poor.

But politics is not giving way for a fair agriculture production and farmers benefit, but it is making farmers disabled and then giving crutches for creeping. When politicians announces for crutches people feel good, but they do not visualise that these are for short run .Farmers needs their development through canal development ,proper marketing.

India have potential for irrigation because it have many mountainous rivers, and many lakes .with the help of canals we can make more area irrigated

There is need of governmental intervene in market of food .there is a need of setting of a system in which government buy grains, pulses and vegetables from farmers directly and sell to people who need without profit concept. It will prevent unnecessary price rise of food, eliminate middle man .This will reduce grain price automatically .Means there is need of government control on market

By not giving more attention on development of basic infrastructure for agriculture UPA is cheating people .The priority of government should be job to each hand so that they can earn their own food, to make a work force in country, training to all untrained labour .to decrease casual labour. Main job should be to make people self dependent. But UPA is making act for food only not for these, are not they cheating people?
