Essay On INDIAN FARMER

Introduction

India is an agricultural country. More than 75% of its population lives in villages. People work as farmers. But it is pity that our farmer lives in poverty though he is the back-bone of our country. He works hard and gets little to eat.

Present condition of Indian farmers

The present condition of Indian farmer is very bad. He is too poor to have some comforts of life. He has very few clothes. He lives in an ordinary house. It is made of mud. It is not properly ventilated. It is dark and unhealthy. Our farmer is ignorant. He lives in dirt. He does not know the importance of cleanliness. He is open to diseases.

His habits

The Indian farmer is very hardworking. He is very honest. He works in the fields from morning till evening. The scorching heat of the sun, The cold winter winds and the heavy rain cannot stop him from doing his work outside the house. He is the son of the soil and nature.

Causes of his backwardness

The Indian farmer is quite ignorant. He still follows the old methods of agriculture. Owing to his poverty and he cannot (or does not) make use of scientific implements and fertilizers as well. Indian agriculture is dependent on the monsoon. Very often it fails, sometimes it destroys his standing crops. Thus monsoon betrays our farmers. Frequently, rains cause floods which destroy crops. Thus we see that poverty and are two great curses for the Indian farmer.

Remedy

The remedy of the Indian farmer’s backwardness lies in spreading literacy among the farmers. Government should help them with money, implements and good seeds. There should be good arrangements for irrigation also.

Measures adopted by the Government to improve the lot of farmers

It is a matter of great pleasure that today Government is doing its best to help the Indian farmer. His position has now improved. He is now buying better agricultural implements, good seeds and fertilizers. The old out dated plough is now being replaced by the tractor.

In the days of English rule the farmer was in the clutches of moneylenders and landlords. But now the position is changed.

The government, co-operative societies and banks are helping our farmers. These three agencies have brought revolution in rural credit.

Distribution of surplus land, consolidation of land holdings, implementation of ceiling laws and other land reforms have brought about a change in the status of Indian farmer. Welfare measures like spread of education, electrification and supply of water, building of roads, schools and hospitals have raised the standard of living of the farmer. Now he lives in the pucca houses and puts on better clothes. He looks very cheerful. If our farmers and we should co-operate with our government, the conditions of the Indian farmers will improve in the future.
