Scrapping village-level centres bad move: Experts
Description
Hyderabad: Scrapping the village level collection centres introduced during the Covid-19 is hurting the TRS more than its decision of introducing regulated farming, say experts. These two decisions are unpopular with the state farmers. “There should have been incentive-based crops instead of regulated farming. This system is already in states like Andhra Pradesh and Sikkim. Though there is no assurance of MSP, this scheme encourages the farmer to produce a particular crop rather than influencing the decision of the farmer through regulated farming,” said Kiran Visa, state committee member Rythu Swaraja Vedika. Instead of following the Union laws, TRS regime should have brought a new law like the Chhattisgarh government. “After the three farm laws were passed by the Parliament, Chhattisgarh passed a new law declaring the the entire state as a regulated area,” Kiran said. Agro scientist and economist Dr G Ramanjaneyulu said that government should encourage the farmers to produce a variety of crops rather than regulated farming.
