Decades past for us not stammering at a single point to spell "No race can prosper till it learns there is as much as dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem"(Booker T Washington). But honour to agriculture has only been paid in assembly, meetings, a decent parades and limited to words only words.This can be clearly figured out by the present situation our country is struggling through. Recently ,It seems to be confusing, either our country is tackling the serious pandemic or starvation. Hunger, food deficit, under nutrition, and ascending mortality rate has picturized our inability and impracticability in giving a soft spot for agiculture and our steadfast agricultural system.
Unreluctantly, we have been putting down to 60 percent of Indian products since 1980.Data has revealed that During these 2 months of hurdle, we have already imported 75 thousand, 300 Metric Tons of vegetable, 56 thousand 300 MT of pulses, 39 thousand 115 MT of fruits that's equal to around 40 lakhs from India.On the other hand we have failed to internalize our own product which are degrading at the production centre. Supporting the global weakness,Before a week ridiculous act of drenching agricultural stuff imported from kapilbastu and kavre, chitwan into dumping site in Argakhachi , kaski respectively sprawl our media.How can we be so irresponsible and stub? How don't we pay glance to those import from India which might be more prone to pandemic than our home products? How can we raise our agriculture status to sustainability and satisfaction with Such foolish action we are snuggling?
Congruously,natural enemies are in the way to hunt our agriculture in upcoming days.We have been recently informed about the reinvasion of Army worm wrecking maize, sugarcane, wheat and cereal from other grass family in Sarlahi.The other cons we are supposing to be thudded soon is Sallaha insect(Swarm Locust) migrated from Africa to Northern India.. At the mean tick, farmers of Chitwan are continuously fighting to secure their production at harvesting hour with a disease supposed to be net blast in rice . Critical cases are hitting agri-scope one after another. If the chaos continues throbbing us, then soon we are going to be badly smitten by hunger and starvation keeping aside this frenzied hour of pandemic.
Of course every cloud has a silver lining..Between all these wary cases, budget allocated for the fiscal year 2076/77 has brought a flimsy hope among the farmer. Out of 14 kharab, 74arab and 64 karor, agriculture sector has been given a due attention.In order to address the upcoming threat of unemployment, hunger and food insecurity government has put aside 41 arab 40 crore for agricultural prosperity and 25 arab 96 crore for irrigation.Though the budget scheme seems to be classical one and could not address all agri-demand, if all scheme could be bought into action than we might self sustain.Scheme under budget are
SO, Let's start burning the candle at both end to
"Save your field , secure your upcomings."

ReplyDeleteWell said, Srijana👏👏
ReplyDeleteAt this juncture, the one and only way to survive this economic catastrope is through agriculture.In fact, the extent to which our country will be able to resolve the current economic crisis and enhance food security will depend to greater extent on its ability to promote agricultural growth.Above all, reforming structurally weak agricultural sectors is crucial.
