On this Special Report, Sneha Mordani explores the urgent expectations of the agricultural community ahead of the upcoming Union Budget. Reporting from Chandauli, Uttar Pradesh, Mordani highlights that the sector employs nearly 46% of India’s workforce but faces rising input costs and erratic weather. A key sentiment captured from the ground is: ‘We are not getting the cost of production because the profit value is very low.’ Farmers expressed a desire for modern machinery, better irrigation, and a shift toward climate-resilient practices like black rice cultivation. Interestingly, many farmers stated they do not want subsidies or ‘alms’ but rather a fair price for their produce and a platform to sell chemical-free products. The report underscores the need for reforms in the PM Fasal Bima Yojana and investment in rural infrastructure to ensure the backbone of the rural economy remains sustainable and profitable.
