This document discusses proposals to boost agricultural productivity in India through privatization. It notes that currently, Indian agriculture has low productivity, most farmers live in poverty, and a large portion of crops are lost to lack of storage. The document proposes allowing private companies to lease land from farmers in order to apply modern technologies and practices that could increase yields and profits. It acknowledges this may displace some farm workers and discusses the need for job programs and policies to support landless laborers. Overall, privatization could lead to more investment, efficient irrigation, mechanization, and increased productivity if farmers are properly educated and assured of financial security under the plans.

2. AGRICULTURE:CURRENT SCENARIO
 INDIA IS ONE OF THE LARGEST
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCER
 DEPENDENCY OF ABOUT 60%
POPULATION
 1.5 MILLION SQ. KM CULTIVATED
LAND
 25 MILLION TONNE FOOD GRAIN
PRODUCTION
 LOWEST PRODUCTIVITY PER ACRE
 65% OF THEM ARE BELOW
POVERTY LINE
 66% UNIRRIGATED OR RAIN
DEPENDENT
 40% GRAINS ROTS DUE TO LACK
OF STORAGE

3. PROBLEMS RELATED WITH
AGRICULTURE
 GDP – Only 0.3% of GDP is used in agricultural survey ,whereas in
America , the percentage is 4%.
 Irrigation by monsoon- Indian agricultural land still depends upon
monsoon for irrigation upto 60% land in india is irrigated by
monsoon, only 33.3 % of total cultivated land has been able to use
the irrigation.
 Less profit in cultivation – In india , a farmer only gets upto 23 to
33% of profit by its cultivation (after reducing all loses and
expenses) whereas in european union or america a same farmer is
able to get a profit of 80 to 90% .

Privatization will bring new technology and multiple crops, leading to increase in

Plan :
If assume a farmer invest Rs.70 and get Rs.30 as profit, on the same ground the
companies can increase profit to 200, by new technology and 3-4 crops a year.

5. Merits of Privatization
 Increased employment among educated, by development of a new
sector.
 Opportunity for farmer to flourish in other field.
 Increase production with improved quality.
 Maximum utilization of local resources.
 Helps in maintaining soil fertility for longer period using latest technology.
 Develops a field which will uphold indian foreign exchange at time of
recession.
 Financial security for farmers at time of calamity.

6. IMPLEMENTATION
EDUCATE FARMERS ABOUT HOW THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO
HELP THEM
ACQUIRING LAND WITH FARMERS CONSENT FOR LIMITED PERIOD
IF REQUIRED PROVIDE FARMERS SOME FINANCIAL SECURITY
TENDER SYSTEM MUST BE ACQUIRED FOR THE SELECTION OF
COMPANY
AN AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT MUST BE ESTABLISH FOR
VIGILENCE
COMPANY WILL INVEST IN THIS FIELD IN MORDERN EQUIPMENTS
AND TECHNIQUES
GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE TO SOLVE DISPUTE, IF ANY
BETWEEN COMPANY AND FARMERS

7. PROBLEM ARISEN
LANDLESS LABOURS
 DUE TO PRIVATISATION,
LANDLESS LABOURS BECOME
UNEMPLOYED
 EMPLOYMENT GUARANTEE SCHEMES
MUST BE STARTED FOR AREAL
DEVELOPMENT AND WILL HAVE TO
CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
 GOVERNMENT HAVE TO STARTED
SEVERAL POLICIES FOR
MANAGEMENT OF LANDLESS
FARMERS.
 MECANISATION CAUSES
REPLACEMENT OF LABOUR,
LEAVING WHOLE LABOUR

8. ACCEPTANCE BY FARMERS
 MOSTLY INDIAN FARMERS ARE
UNEDUCATED
 USING TRADITIONAL
METHODS OF CULTIVATION
 WANT LESS RISK
 DO NOT WANT TO CHANGE
 DO NOT HAVE CAPITAL
 HAVE ONLY ONE SOURCE OF
INCOME
 HAVE TO INFORM THE
FARMERS ABOUT THIS POLICY
 CLEAR THEIR DOUBTS
 MAKETHEM ASSURE, THAT
THEIR LAND IS ONLY TAKING
ON LEASE
 PROVIDE THEM FINANCIAL
SECURITY
 HAVE TO COORPORATEWITH
FARMERS

GOVERNMENT OVER WHOLE
PROCESS
 NO INVESTMENT BY FARMER
 LESS DEPENDANCY ON RAIN
 FARMERS WILL HAVE CHANCE
TO DO SOMETHING NEW

QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF
PRODUCTION
