Technology will be accessible to farmers. We will witness unprecedented and revolutionary changes in the field of agriculture. Prime Minister has said that the MSP will continue. The MSP of rabi crops has already been announced by the Government before its sowing season starts. This shows the commitment of the Government for the MSP.

Infrastructure fund to the tune of Rs. 1 lakh crore has to be made available to our villages. Farmers have to be given access to technology.

SPEAKER: Hon. Members, today I have taken up more than seven issues relating to farmers. I wanted you all to ask questions to the Hon. Minister on farmers’ issues during the Question Hour and resolve them. But you do not wish to debate the farm issues nor do you want to have dialogue, you are exhibiting placards and are raising slogans instead. This House belongs to you and it is incumbent upon you to show deference to this august House and uphold its dignity. The people of the country have elected you to place your points and raise the farmers’ issues. It is not fair to resort to sloganeering. ________ *MATTERS UNDER RULE 377 1.
