CHANDIGARH: Haryana leader minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Wednesday termed the Centre's determination to increase the MSP for Kharif crops a "historic step", whilst state agriculture minister O P Dhankar stated a major recommendation of the Swaminathan Commission has been carried out.
Addressing a group of farmers at his authentic place of abode right here, Khattar stated the BJP executive at the Centre has fulfilled its promise of mountaineering the minimum support value to 1.5 occasions the manufacturing cost of farmers.
Dhankar had accompanied the farmers to the executive minister's place of abode.
While dancing to the beats of drums at his place of abode, Dhankar hailed the MSP hike as historical.
The leader minister stated, "The decision taken by the Union Cabinet will help boost farmers' income, mitigate rural distress and administer the farm sector a booster dose. It is for the first time since Independence that such massive hike in MSP has been effected by any government."
Khattar stated whilst a number of suggestions of the Swaminathan Commission's document had already been carried out, its key recommendation to provide farmers 50 per cent extra price than their cost of manufacturing too has been fulfilled now.
"Today is a golden day for farmers," Khattar stated.
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) at its meeting as of late licensed the MSP of 14 Kharif (summer-sown) crops. MSP for paddy was once hiked by way of a steep Rs 200 per quintal.
Dhankar stated, "What is more satisfying is that now a formula has been adopted as per which farmers will get at least 50 per cent more rate than their cost of production."
"With this decision, the recommendations of the Swaminathan Commission have been fully implemented. This decision is historic. It will come as a big boost for farmers," he instructed right here.
Haryana's primary opposition INLD's state president Ashok Arora, then again, condemned the "meagre increase" of the MSP and termed it "betrayal of the farmers".
