125 Days Roadmap – Part F
Context :
Priority Is Farmer Welfare..." Shivraj Chouhan On Being Appointed As Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare Minister .. 11 June 2024
Extract :
On being allotted the portfolio of Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare and Minister of Rural Development, BJP leader Shivraj Singh Chouhan on June 10 said that the priority of PM Modi and the priority of the government is farmer welfare and that is why today he signed the first file, the decision taken by the Cabinet today to release Kisan Samman Nidhi.
"Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, work is going on for agriculture and farmer welfare and rural development work is also progressing rapidly...There is continuity. Better work in the last 10 years and our manifesto, whether it is farmer welfare or rural development, we have prepared a roadmap for it and we will take these works forward.
My Take :
Dear Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhanji :
contact@shivrajsinghchouhan.
Over the past few months, our PM Shri Modiji has exhorted entire Government machinery to focus on GYAN ( Gareeb – Youth – Anndata _ Nari )
It was , therefore highly laudable that the very first order that you signed last evening was to release the 17th instalment of Kisan Samman Nidhi , amounting to Rs 20,000 crore , to 93 million farmers
Well begun is half done
NDA govt could not double the income of the farmers ( as promised ), during past 5 years
I suppose, renewal of this commitment is at the top of your “ 125 days Road-map – Part F “
F stands for “ Farmers “
Here is “ How “ :
By not “ Telling “ them your “ already taken “ decisions re MSPs for various crops (“ take it or leave it “ attitude )
By not “ Selling “ them your “already taken“ decisions ( “ Hey, this is why my decision is good for you “ attitude )
BUT ,
By asking Farmer Unions to “ participate “ in the Government’s decision-making process in deciding what should be the MSPs for various food-crops.
By asking THEM to figure out the CONSEQUENCES ( burden ) of THEIR decisions and what would be it’s Financial Implications on the Government’s budgetary allocations for other Social Benefit Schemes for the poor population of our country
Dear Shri Chouhanji :
Coalition Dharma should not be confined to government ( cabinet ) formation by asking NDA parties to join in “ Decision Making “
Today, you are in the enviable position of extending this Dharma to Farmer Unions. Your “ Out of the Box “ radical departure from “ Groove Thinking “, could herald an INFLEXION POINT in the history of Indian Democracy
This is no time to engage in some futile endless ANALYSIS ( leading to PARALYSIS )
This is time to say , “ It is in MY DESTINY to write a new chapter – and I will do it “
Details of my proposal are in the following earlier e-mail

Point : Counter-Point // MSP : MPQ ………………….. 28 Nov 2021
Extract :
Dear Kisan Netas / Shri Tomarji,
Here too a Compromise Solution is possible in the spirit of Give and Take
It is : MSP linked with MPQ
Where, MPQ = Maximum Purchase
This means, in each year, Government shall not be obliged to purchase more than the MPQ ( at its MSP ), for any crop
The MSP and MPQ shall be worked out and announced by the govt. 6 months in advance of the coming year
As suggested in my following earlier blog-email, it is possible to automate this entire process of computation of MSP, by using Geo-Spatial Technology :
Agri Reforms : an Ongoing Process…………………….[ 20 Nov 2021 ]
Using same technology, it is possible to also calculate ( automatically and without human intervention ),
the MPQ for each of those 23 crops for the upcoming year
Both, the Government and the Farmers should be happy with such an AUTOMATIC – SCIENTIFIC – UNBIASED
– TECHNOLOGY BASED – DYNAMIC process, which announces its results on a Govt website within a specific
time – frame
This way, Govt will know in advance, the total amount of FUNDS that will be required for the coming season
And, knowing in advance, the MPQ / MSP for each crop, farmers will decide WHICH crop to plant and HOW
MUCH to plant ( Demand / Supply / Price, dynamics in regulated manner )
On Govt web site, each purchase ( at MSP ) will be published ( individual and cumulative ) for each crop
This will show, how much total has been purchased ( for each crop ) and how much still remains to be purchased
When Govt purchase for an MSP crop reaches its stipulated MPQ ( for a given season / year ) , the Govt will stop buying and declare in all media
Irrespective of this provision, farmers will be free to negotiate with any trader / middleman / business , any SALE QUANTITY at any negotiated price ( whether higher or lower than published MSP )
Based on State-wise distribution ( of production ) of any particular crop, Central Government will work out State-wise QUOTAS of purchase quantities for each crop
23
∬ msp_1 x mpq_1 = Funds needed for Crop 1………..( insert data for all 23 crops, one by one )
0
( Formula based on INTEGRAL CALCULUS )
