Vimukti Pothnal organized training program
on Karnataka Land Reforms Act and Amendment to APMC Act 2020 held at
Vimukti premises. The meeting began at 10. 30 am. The Centre has been
issuing various new policies and one among them was the correction in
the land reform bill. The new policy was explained in detail. The
corrections made in the policy, the problems that could be faced due to
this policy by the poor farmers, the speediness of the Govt. without
proper guidance to the people were discussed in detail. This new
amendment APMC bill would definitely favor the rich the business class
people. They can buy the agricultural land for their use. The farm land
would turn gradually into industrial areas. Already the poor farmers are
not getting basic price for their grown crops. Due to natural calamities
farmers face hardships and often not compensated for their crop loss.
The number of farmers committing suicide has increased day by day. The
middle men the brokers have been exploiting the farmers since past. The
present policies are not farmer friendly. So the farmers must strongly
protest against the new unbaked policies of the centre. The village
level awareness need to be created. The Government must explain or take
into confidence before introducing the new policies. Confusion, fear
created in the minds of the farmers by the Govt. through the sudden
policies. It was a fruitful mind enlightening seminar to the
participants. Youth, men, women participated in this workshop.
