On this Special Report, Sneha Mordani travels to the rural belt of Chandauli in Uttar Pradesh, often called the ‘paddy bowl of India’, to capture the urgent expectations of farmers ahead of the Union Budget. The agriculture sector, which employs nearly 46% of India’s workforce, faces mounting pressures from rising input costs and erratic weather. One farmer highlighted the dire situation, stating, ‘We are not getting cost of production. Profit is a far off thing.’ The report details how the farming community is demanding a more robust Minimum Support Price (MSP) that ensures profitability rather than just covering costs. Beyond financial aid, the transcript outlines the need for modern machinery, subsidies for black rice farming, and improved irrigation facilities. Sneha Mordani notes that while the government has provided some machinery, the high operational costs remain a hurdle. The report concludes with a call for climate-resilient practices and a market platform for chemical-free products to ensure both farmer prosperity and consumer health.
