Kisan inquilab!!

RAJIV KUMAR, director of ICRIER calls for a liberation of the kisan through the facilitating the entry of private, cooperative or commercial investors including foreign multi-product retail companies into agriculture to establish their agro-procurement operations for the Indian domestic and export markets. In an opinion piece in Mint, "Liberating the farmer", he states that dis-intermediation in agriculture, enhanced investments in logistics and technologies, alongwith Government switching its role from that of a supplier of services and inputs to that of regulator could bring about massive productivity gains in the agricultural sector.
