RS MP: New farm laws will benefit ryots
Description
Poinguinim: Rajya Sabha MP Vinay Tendulkar on Thursday said that the three farm bills passed by the central government would benefit farmers and that they should not fall prey to false propaganda being spread by the opposition, who are critical of farm reforms. At a meeting held at deputy speaker and Canacona MLA Isidore Fernandes’ office at Chaudi, Canacona Tendulkar told farmers that the state government always protected the interests of farmers and had recently provided relief of Rs6,000 to each of the 17,000 farmers in Goa. While highlighting the benefits of the three new bills, Tendulkar asked farmers to bring to his notice any difficulties they faced and that he will take them up with the state as well as the central government to resolve these. Farmers at the meeting spoke about assistance with adequate support rates for their farm produce, de-silting of rivers, enhancing government financial assistance and timely disbursement of government subsidy.
