• AGRARIAN CRISIS AND
AGRICULTURAL CRISISISSUES AND SOLUTIONS.
Topic: Agrarian Crisis and Agricultural Crisis – Issues and Solutions
•Agriculture sector is the backbone of the Punjab economy.
•Punjab has played an important role in making the country self-sufficient in foodgrains.
•The State has just 1.53 per cent of the geographical area of the country but it contributes 40-45
per cent of wheat and 25-30 per cent of rice to the central pool.
•The high growth of the farm sector in Punjab following the green revolution significantly contributed to making it
one of the richest states in the country.
•For the last few years, the contribution of agriculture and allied sector to GSDP has been rapidly declining.
Its share was 27.68% in 2007-08 which declined to 21.39% in 2013-14.
•The declining share represents the structural transformation of the economy from agriculture to other sectors of the economy.
•The farm sector in Punjab is showing signs of a serious slowdown over the last few years.
•This sector’s growth rate has remained below 2% in all the years from 2009-10 to 2012-13 with the growth turning
negative in 2009-10 and 2012-13. The agriculture sector (proper) recorded negative growth of -2.36% in 2014-15.
•The slow growth of the farm sector has kept the growth of the agriculture and allied sector low at -0.50% in 2014-15.
•The growth in farm sector is slowing down as cropping intensity (about 191%) and irrigation potential (about 99%)
have already been fully exploited and the growth in productivity has also reached a saturation point.
•As per census 2011, about 36% of the total workers depend on the farm sector and there is little possibility of
creation of additional employment in this sector because most of the farm operations are fully mechanized.
•Heavy dependence on tube-wells for irrigation has led to rapid depletion of ground water in the state.
•Punjab has 13.85 lakh tube-wells which irrigate about 30 lakh ha of land.
•Approximately, 70% area constituting central Punjab faces ground water depletion. At present,
ground water is depleting rapidly in the state and 109 out of 138 blocks have already been categorised
as over-exploited or dark blocks.
•The vibrant farm sector of Punjab is now facing serious challenges posed by deteriorating natural
resource base due to mono-culture of wheat-paddy crop rotation, overall stagnation in farm sector,
declining farmer incomes; and rural indebtedness and suicides by farmers and agricultural labourers.
•As per the latest survey conducted by PAU, Ludhiana 6128 farmers and farm labourers have committed
suicides during the last ten years. About 70 per cent of these suicides have been due to economic distress
and
majority of the suicide victims were marginal and small farmers.
•The farm debt of Punjab is about Rs 35000 crore which works out at Rs 3.32 lakh per holding.
•The farming system has become unviable particularly for the marginal and small farmers.
-About two lakh marginal and small farmers have left farming between 1991 and 2001.
Solutions
•Diversification of Punjab agriculture is a right step in right direction but it is slow process. The Union Govt.
may provide the required funds in this regard in the overall interest of Punjab economy in general and farm
sector in particular.
•Urgent steps are required to enhance the profitability of agriculture by revising the criteria adopted by the
Union Govt. for determination of MSP, incentive for non-farm activities by the marginal and small farmers to
support agriculture incomes and appropriate insurance schemes against crop failure.
•Price stabilization fund may be set up for the crops not covered under the public procurement programme at
the MSP.
•Value addition at the farm level is another area through which incomes of the farmers can be enhanced. At
present, most of the farm produce is sold without any value addition and processing in Punjab.
•Secondary agriculture is also an important option for raising farm income. Dairy farming and poultry
farming are important sources of farm income and are cushioning agricultural growth.
•R&D in the farm sector may be strengthened to enhance productivity and production because
technology is an important tool to bring improvement in the farm sector.
•The group/cooperative farming may also be encouraged particularly for marginal and small
farmers.
•The number of Cooperative Agro-Service Centres for farm machinery at village level may be
doubled in near future to provide custom-hiring services to the farmers. Such a measure will reduce
the fixed cost of farm machinery.
•Social reforms in rural Punjab are also need of the hour. Unnecessary social expenditure on
marriages and other social ceremonies may be curtailed. In this regard, the extension agencies,
political parties, religious organisations, farmers’ unions, NGOs, etc. can play an important role.
Economic reforms alone cannot be successful without the social reforms.
•Drug abuse is another problem of rural youth in Punjab. Serious efforts may be made to check this
menace.
•Creation of employment in the non-farm sector for rural youth is another important solution of
agrarian crisis. Sustainable economic development is not possible without employment.
•Rural education and health sector also need immediate attention of the policy planners at the State
and national level.
•Skill development centres may be set up all over Punjab to create self-employment for the rural
youth.

Vision
Two ways of crop production system
 Growing in their natural habitat –
By establishing Crop Specific Estates i.e. Citrus Estates,
Pear and Litchi Estates
 Nurturing by providing favourable conditions –
Through protected cultivation i.e. Polyhouse, Shadenet
house, Low tunnelling, etc.
