Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on November 19 that the government would repeal the three farm laws. He also stated that a committee will be formed to make decisions on issues such as promoting zero-budget farming, scientifically modifying crop patterns to meet changing country needs, and making MSP (Minimum Support Price) more effective and transparent.
Five agricultural reforms, according to the research, might operate as enablers even if these laws are not passed.”First, instead of using MSP as a price guarantee, the government might include a quantity guarantee provision for a minimum of five years, requiring that the procurement to production percentage of crops (now procured) be at least equal to previous year’s proportion,” according to the paper.
