India’s Ruined Rural Economy – Failed Responsibilities – Part 3
Auto“The land mass of a country’s village is cultivated for its citizens.
What they sow, they reap, but the Indian leaders
I want to sow minerals and harvest food grains”
Today, exactly one week after March 1, 2007, the people of India would once again learn from the myth of the liberal budget of the Government whose previous three budgets had already broken the backbone of all the ordinary citizens of the country. After the first budget in 2004, most of the Indian families and new mothers had reduced the quantity of milk for babies to three quarters of a liter, after the budget of 2005 the quantity of milk was reduced to half a liter, after of the 2006 budgets was further reduced to quarts. per infant. What will happen after the 2007 budgets, God knows! If an ordinary woman could buy milk for 25 to 30 rupees per litre? With what wisdom Mr Economics is collecting new and new taxes and on whom. Truly speaking, every tax penny is being drained from the blood of a common man and the savings of a salaried person. Ultimately, an increased or decreased penny will further kill salaried people or a common man of all classes. Looking at the various budget lag effects on poor Indians, I strongly believe that the low, very low and meager daily stakes society will be highly criminalized. If in three years of sky-high prices they have almost raised the crime rate to 25%, what will happen if the spiraling prices don’t come down? There is a need to form some core groups to identify and address problems at the grassroots level. Various factors affecting the lives of ordinary people are being discussed.
First of all, let me analyze whether the current government has failed to address the basic problems of the common man. I say yes and every reader would agree with my statements. Why the government failed because the three previous budgets were prepared with the aim of pushing metal over grain; and the common man eats grain and not metal. What a relief a common got from the growth rate of 6.25% in the Indian economy. In fact, sarcophagi are being filled with outside investors; and the pockets of Indian citizens in general are approached and emptied. All three budgets have increased the price index of all basic products beyond the reach of a common man. The price increases ranged from two to ten times. Wheat flour which cost approximately 6-8 rupees in 2004 costs almost 22-25 rupees today. In addition to the increase in prices, each increase in the tax base has directly buried the average, low and common man, including daily bets. Hasn’t our government failed to control the minimum prices of basic necessities to survive?
Secondly, all of you would be surprised to learn that this apparent growth is only planned and limited to only 11% percent of the people in the country. The information technology sectors, multinational mergers and the IT sectors have been primary beneficiaries of these policies. The rich have become rich; and the poor, the poorest. The brazen acquisition of one hundred acres of prime farmland for the industrial sector has not only crippled ordinary farmers in that area, but has also ruined the country’s agribusiness. The neglect of the agricultural sector is marking the chain of migration Once again, the so-called growth rate has actually delayed more than 82% the growth of ordinary people and pushed 3.25% of unemployed youth towards criminalization according to my survey of crimes recently committed in the area. In the current financial year 2007 had given a common man what relief? I request the patience of my readers to understand the pro rata financial hardship imposed on each Indian family. The economic sloping of Western countries, in general, has hit the stomach of every common man very hard. It’s worth debating how the Mr PM-PC duos have been able to crush all the common men under the weight of taxes. How can a common man nowadays buy 150 rupees per kilogram of apple? I hope the apple fruit is not confined to the nursery rhyme curriculum just because it has already slipped out of reach for even middle-income citizens.
Thirdly, the most suffered segment of all the previous budgets in India is the man in the street and the wage worker. The man in the street could not earn more than what is offered to him; and salaried communities due to fixed salary scales. In fact the entrepreneurs lived for glory because. The country’s business community has benefited from; One, the service tax, the education tax, and various other taxes have been passed directly to consumers; two, the value added tax is charged again to consumers; three entertainment taxes also found their way into the common man’s pocket; and four, other service charges on any service have been collected directly from the common man. The common man continues to be the victim of all taxes on one hand, the businessman continues to receive various discounts, rebates and relaxations on perceived advertising material and a larger share of business profits. If the current budget trend continues for another two to three years, let me assure you that the Indian government will fail to eradicate poverty, but it will surely eliminate the common poor as much as possible.
Fourth, the indifferent attitude of budget planners towards the agricultural sector has resulted in a large number of farmers reducing the area of cultivated land or completely stopping cultivation of a large mass of cultivated land. My survey conducted across Uttaranchal, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and Rajasthan revealed that 25-40% of farmers’ land was uncultivated. It was not due to lack of will but because; one, high costs of seeds, fertilizers and pesticides; two, sudden increase in the cost of machinery related to agriculture; three low purchase price set by the government; oven, high cost of transportation, labor and workers; fifth, fear of crop damage near harvest due to rains and natural calamities; and, sixth, guaranteed income from works that is the product of an uncertain harvest due to rain and nature. In addition, the lack of water supply for irrigation, poor electricity supply, and heavy taxes on various products used to improve agricultural production.
Fifthly, I believe that the land mass of our country’s villages is the cultivation for its citizens. What they sow, they reap, but the Indian leaders want to sow mineral and harvest food, which is impossible. If our current planner could properly invest 7.5% to 10% in the agricultural sector, our country could feed the population of half of Eurasia. Why are our farmers neglected?
Sixth, on the one hand, the government immediately imported grain to ensure a regular supply, but on the other hand, it never encouraged the farmers themselves to grow more. In September/October 2006, Maharashtra farmers were forced to dump onions into ponds, lakes and seas because the government did not give them a sufficient price; but two months later the same government imported hundreds of tons of grain. Poor farmers around the Nasik belt are still committing suicide to get through the bad debt period. How could a farmer who invested three to five rupees to grow one kilo of onion sell ten to fifty paisa per kilo? It is a serious disrespect for the Indian peasants and our leaders, who instigated their suicides to stand trial. In fact, the country’s agriculture minister should be tried for manslaughter of farmers in Maharashtra by the Hon’ble Supreme Court itself. Is this the budget that Mr. Economic is going to impose on us?
Seventh, I would discuss the empty slogans of “Bright India” and “Rising India”. India had not shined or grown for a common man; rather, his condition had gone from bad to worse. Although to publicize the Shining India issue, the government had invested crores of rupees to put up billboards all over the countryside, but it did nothing to alleviate the problem of farmers’ electricity, water and fertilizer needs, and to make India grow, the slogan Growing India had resulted in growing rich people and no one else. The rising price index had disturbed the budgets of the common man. It is a well conceived conspiracy by a few people in charge of affairs to turn India into a long term economic slave. While our leadership follows the industry-based development model of the West, they have completely forgotten that Western countries have not neglected their agricultural sectors. In fact, if we follow the Som Spiral Rural Economy Concept (SSREC), the country will have overall growth.
Lastly, while I would discuss the actual impact on farmers and the current government’s common approach, I hope readers can find solace in planning their household budget with 59% of income going to tax, the additional 23% going to income tax, services, surcharges and others and balance 28% to survive. Every common man lives today between 25 and 28 paisa of his income and a businessman spends 55% to 62% on personal survival. The death of a man in the street shocks Indian leaders because our governments are elected only by a 3% to 5% margin of 35% to 65% of the votes cast. Why should citizens pay taxes created by the government when you are already paying income tax and all these services are created from that tax? Why double taxation on all citizens of India? When all services are created from taxes paid by citizens, why taxes on services? Every month I take out 1700-2000 rupees just for service tax and surcharges. I request your cooperation and hope Indian economic think tank will realize the impact of metal economy concept (MEC) on the type of development of stomach economy concept (SEC). Ultimately, we Indians found a failed government in every sphere of activities for a common man. Jai Hind
