It's again a new definition for Agriculture and Food Ministry. This time the credit goes to India,donno may be the new definition of a developing country. Hereafter the agriculture ministry will take care of only the Agricultural products, not its availabilty which determines the price of Food products. This indirectly indicates we are nearing another blunder in Agriculture.
The introduction of High Yield Variety(HYV),lot of machinerires,short term crops in the name of Green Revolution changed the purpose of Agriculture from Service Sector for Humans to Business Model.The first blunder.
When villages started moving towards Cities in the name of IT boom, the then Governments made business with Cultivation Lands in the Name of Real Estates.The Second Blunder.
Now our Minister is trying to change the Brand Image of this field to a core corporate brand.We started projecting the turnover of the next financial year on some unrealistic basis. The sector which was contributing more than 50 percent of GDP is now contributing only 10 percent of GDP. Rulers of India might not be aware of the fact that people are moving from villages and we are teaching our next generation how to buy food from rest of the world than to supply.We started blaming Pakistan for not exporting Onions to India.We got a Agri minster who speaks a lot on cricket than on his field for more than 10 years.Result:India will no more be a self sufficient country. The Third blunder. Starvation will no more be a long term goal
