00:00Uttar Pradesh is an agricultural capital.

00:04The central and state governments are continuously trying to double the farmers' income.

00:11Many schemes have been introduced to double the farmers' income.

00:15Organic farming has been emphasized.

00:18But due to the complex process of these schemes, the farmers are not benefiting.

00:24The farmers say that because of the lack of documents and documents,

00:30they are not benefiting from the government's policies and schemes.

00:34This is the reason why 70% of the small farmers in the state

00:39are selling their land and settling in the cities.

00:43The second important thing is that due to the continuous use of fertilizers,

00:49not only is the government facing problems,

00:53but the farmers are also having to double their income.

00:57In the potato farm, where the farmer was putting 5.5 kg of DAP,

01:03now the farmer is using 5 sacks of DAP in the potato farm,

01:08due to which his income is continuously increasing.

01:12In this regard, we have spoken to some experts

01:16on how the government can improve its policies

01:20and how it can benefit the farmers from the schemes.

01:24We should build a farmer resource center in a block

01:27and convert all the schemes.

01:30That is, under one roof,

01:32and what the farmer wants,

01:36what he wants,

01:38that farmer resource center will decide.

01:41By meeting with the farmers,

01:43how big a project of Atma is required,

01:46how much training is required,

01:48how can we help in stable agriculture,

01:51or organic farming,

01:53whether we do natural farming or whatever,

01:57that scheme should be run by our farmer resource center.

02:01All the schemes of the government should come under the same roof.

02:05And there should be a farmer resource center in a block,

02:08and when that resource center works on a land level,

02:11the farmers' income can increase.

02:14The consumption of chemical fertilizers in Uttar Pradesh

02:17has increased so rapidly in the whole of India.

02:20If we talk about the concept of Uttar Pradesh,

02:23then for a long time,

02:26every year,

02:28average, not my figure,

02:30the Statistic Department of Agriculture,

02:32200,000 metric tons,

02:35not tons, metric tons,

02:37the consumption of urea, DAP,

02:39that is, the consumption of chemical fertilizers,

02:42is increasing every year.

02:44So the agri-bio-based,

02:46if it is converted into bio-fertilizers,

02:49then we can reduce the consumption of chemical fertilizers

02:52by 50-60%, up to 70%.

02:54So our farmers' income can increase by 30-40%.

02:58And the 70 lakh crore rupees

03:01that the Indian government is spending on chemical fertilizers,

03:05as a subsidy to the companies,

03:07that can be saved,

03:09if 50-60% of the chemical fertilizers are saved by the farmers,

03:12then the farmer's cost is also reduced,

03:15and its production.

03:17So what will happen with this,

03:19that our economy,

03:21I have just made green grass

03:23from a liquid fertilizer drum in Barabanki.

03:26I made liquid fertilizer from green grass.

03:28I used it in Barabanki

03:30on several hundred farmers.

03:32So the status that I got out of it,

03:34if that technology is used,

03:36I made liquid fertilizer from green grass.

03:39So what I got out of it is

03:41that its income has increased by 25-40%.

03:44We have all small farmers left

03:46to do different types of agriculture.

03:49So the basic of Uttar Pradesh,

03:51in West Uttar Pradesh,

03:53sugarcane is grown on a mass scale,

03:55because it was cash-deficient.

03:57And mostly wheat is grown.

04:01Because it is easy for people,

04:03for farmers.

04:05It will be sold somewhere.

04:07But suppose,

04:09like other crops will be grown,

04:11you take sugarcane.

04:13The problem with sugarcane is that

04:15farmers are stopping growing sugarcane.

04:17Because our small animals,

04:19like blue cows,

04:21all destroy the sugarcane crops.

04:23So like now,

04:25if we do vegetable farming,

04:27or some medicine plant farming,

04:29mentha can be sold.

04:31It is cash-deficient.

04:33If wheat is sold,

04:35mentha will be sold.

04:37Because it will be ready in two months.

04:39It is cash-deficient.

04:41There is mentha market.

04:43But the rate has not increased

04:45since 2009.

04:47No, it is around Rs. 900.

04:49Not since 2017.

04:51It is around Rs. 900,000.

04:53But if you prepare lemon grass oil,

04:55or some other grass oil,

04:57there is no market for it.

04:59So the problem with farmers is

05:01that if local products are sold,

05:03whatever is produced,

05:05that is why the crops grow.

05:07And that is why

05:09the different crops

05:11do not grow.

05:15I want to agree with Mr. Mukwanti

05:17that our state is very big,

05:19the state of farmers.

05:21Why is there no separate budget

05:23for agriculture for farmers?

05:25If we talk about farmers,

05:27if we talk about increasing

05:29the GDP of farmers,

05:31and whatever role our state has

05:33in increasing the GDP,

05:35agriculture plays a very big role.

05:37So why can't we

05:39make a separate budget

05:41for agriculture in Uttar Pradesh?

05:43Odisha is a state

05:45where there is a separate

05:47budget for agriculture.

05:49A separate budget is always passed.

05:51Its funding is run separately.

05:53Let's give an example.

05:55There is a population of 2.25 crores.

05:57And the budget of Odisha

05:59a year ago was

06:0120,000 crores.

06:03And our state's population

06:05is 23.4 crores,

06:07and our budget was

06:092,000 crores.

06:11So how can we increase

06:13productivity in agriculture?

06:15When we talk about agriculture,

06:17the biggest requirement

06:19is water.

06:21If water is provided

06:23to the crops in a proper way,

06:25then our productivity

06:27will be good.

06:29We will get good crops.

06:31But the main problem

06:33is water.

06:35If we talk about water

06:37in Uttar Pradesh,

06:39we have only two sources.

06:41Either canal water,

06:43or ground water.

06:45And as far as

06:47ponds are concerned,

06:49we cannot irrigate them.

06:51So we have to

06:53provide water.

06:55And that is

06:57where our main problems

06:59are.

07:01The government has

07:03run many campaigns for agriculture.

07:05How to get good seeds,

07:07how to get good crops.

07:09But the main problem

07:11is how to

07:13provide water

07:15to the farmers.

07:17So what happened is

07:19when the canal network

07:21was established,

07:23it was the biggest network

07:25in the country.

07:27But the problem is

07:29that we are not

07:31being able to

07:33use it to the full

07:35capacity.

07:37And every field is not

07:39getting water from the canal.

07:41So it is the farmers'

07:43helplessness.

07:45That is why the private

07:47tribal scheme was introduced.

07:49Because

07:51suppose we talk about wheat.

07:53So we give 4 or 5

07:55liters of water to the wheat.

07:57And there is a table for that.

07:59If the canal water is not

08:01coming at that time,

08:03then the farmer is

08:05forced to irrigate the field.

08:07And the main

08:09problem is

08:11that we are using ground water

08:13blindly.

08:15Today in Uttar Pradesh,

08:17the farmers are dependent

08:19on our groundwater.

08:21And even after having a

08:23good canal network,

08:25we are unable to

08:27meet their needs.

08:29And this is where the problems

08:31started.

08:33We have made a lot of

08:35schemes for water management.

08:37But they are not

08:39working on the land.

08:41Because if we do not

08:43use groundwater and

08:45if we do not make such

08:47arrangements that are

08:49implemented in the field

08:51and the farmer adopts it.

08:53The biggest thing is that

08:55the farmer should also adopt it.

08:57We make schemes on our level,

08:59but the farmer does not

09:01understand it.

09:03So we need to understand

09:05the needs of the farmer and

09:07identify our needs

09:09on a local level.

09:11And according to that,

09:13how much water does the farmer

09:15need?

09:17Will we be able to

09:19grow that water in that field

09:21or not?

09:23Or if we are not able to

09:25grow that water,

09:27then we will have to tell

09:29the farmer to change

09:31the crop cycle

09:33and grow crops

09:35that have less water.

09:37So this is from both sides.

09:39But ultimately,

09:41our natural resources

09:43like water

09:45are limited.

09:47So there are

09:49some problems.

09:51And

09:53it is still time

09:55to manage the water.

09:57Whether it is our agricultural

09:59or urban areas.

10:01For this,

10:03we will have to think

10:05together.

10:07The Prime Minister has

10:09said that

10:11our animals should not

10:13be in stress.

10:15We have to take care

10:17of our animals

10:19like our children.

10:21We have to understand

10:23their symptoms

10:25and their problems.

10:27And until our animals

10:29are not in stress,

10:31we do not get milk.

10:33So there are many challenges.

10:35There are no diagnostic centers.

10:37And

10:39even today,

10:41animal keepers

10:43use the old-fashioned method.

10:45And many times,

10:47the medicines are so expensive

10:49that if a farmer

10:51thinks that he has to buy

10:53a medicine,

10:55then we send him for

10:57cutting or culling.

10:59So the government

11:01will have to take care of

11:03all these things

11:05which are related to animals.

11:07And the medicines of animals

11:09should be regulated

11:11by the law.

11:13And the prices should be

11:15regulated

11:17like the Prime Minister

11:19has said.

11:21The government should

11:23make a medicine center

11:25for animals

11:27and maintain the quality

11:29of their semen.

11:31The rules and regulations

11:33should be followed

11:35by the government

11:37so that they can

11:39control the quality

11:41of their semen.

11:43So the government

11:45should control the quality

11:47of their semen.

11:49If the government

11:51controls these things

11:53and follows the law,

11:55then it will be very

11:57beneficial for the farmers.

11:59To increase the income

12:01of the farmers,

12:03every effort should be

12:05made for the farmers.

12:07As I told you,

12:09the Prime Minister

12:11has given

12:13respect to this.

12:15And Yogi ji

12:17has said that

12:19whether it is seeds,

12:21machines,

12:23electricity,

12:25irrigation,

12:27the machinery

12:29has to pay

12:3180-50 percent

12:33of the bills.

12:35And as far as

12:37electricity is concerned,

12:39you have seen that

12:41the farmers' bills

12:43have been completely

12:45forgiven.

12:47So this is a big

12:49problem for the farmers.

12:51Even small farmers

12:53have to pay

12:5580-50 percent of the bills.

12:57The Prime Minister

12:59has given

13:01respect to this.

13:03The farmers

13:05have to pay

13:0750 percent of the bills.

13:09Earlier, the government

13:11used to pay

13:13all the bills.

13:15But now,

13:17the government

13:19has given 50 percent

13:21of the bills

13:23to the farmers.

13:25So now,

13:27the government

13:29has to pay

13:3150 percent of the bills.

13:33The government

13:35is doing all these things

13:37for the farmers.

13:39The water is free.

13:41The farmers

13:43are getting solar pumps

13:45where the electricity

13:47cannot reach.

13:49The farmers are getting

13:51whatever they want.

13:53So, the government

13:55is doing all these things

13:57for the farmers.

13:59Sir,

14:01there is a concern

14:03that the farmers

14:05are continuously

14:07polluting the water.

14:09In Uttar Pradesh,

14:11the river is 75,000 km long.

14:13There is no water

14:15at the time of irrigation.

14:17So, they have to use

14:19a lot of water.

14:21There is a concern

14:23that the water

14:25will be polluted

14:27in the next 20 years.

14:29Will the government

14:31bring some laws

14:33or is the problem

14:35increasing?

14:37No,

14:39many farmers

14:41are taking

14:43double cropping.

14:45In February,

14:47in May,

14:49in June,

14:51the water was polluted.

14:53We are trying

14:55to stop the farmers

14:57from cropping.

14:59The water level

15:01has gone down.

15:03So, we want

15:05a double cropping

15:07so that the water

15:09can be stopped.

15:11It is true that

15:13the water level

15:15is going down.

15:17So, to stop it,

15:19we are focusing

15:21on drip irrigation.

15:23There is sugarcane

15:25and banana farming.

15:27These are the farms

15:29that need more water.

15:31In Uttar Pradesh,

15:33in Lakhimpur,

15:35in Barabanki,

15:37in Bairaich,

15:39the farmers are

15:41continuously polluting the water.

15:43Here, the water level

15:45is very high.

15:47In other districts,

15:49like Trayee,

15:51Lakhimpur, Baraich,

15:53Maharajganj,

15:55Vallnampur,

15:57there is no water level problem.

15:59But still,

16:01we are giving

16:03very little water

16:05and we are

16:07providing drip irrigation

16:09to the farmers

16:11so that the farmers

16:13don't have to spend

16:15a lot of water.

16:21Sir, the government

16:23is providing subsidies

16:25for the agricultural machinery.

16:27The farmers complain

16:29that the portal opens

16:31for some time

16:33and if you don't apply

16:35then you won't be able

16:37to apply.

16:39The government should

16:41upload a survey

16:43and the subsidies

16:45should go to the portal.

16:47Sir, the fertilizer

16:49is continuously being polluted.

16:51When the farmers used to

16:53put 5 kgs of BFP in the potato field,

16:55today they are putting 5 bags of BFP.

16:57Is the government

16:59worried about reducing

17:01the fertilizer pollution?

17:03Modi ji has set

17:05a separate budget for the agriculture.

17:07We are encouraging the farmers

17:09to work on agriculture

17:11so that the soil

17:13is healthy

17:15because we want

17:17to reduce the use

17:19of fertilizers and medicines.

17:21The use of these fertilizers

17:23is not good for the farmers

17:25but it is good for

17:27everyone's health.

17:29The new diseases

17:31that are occurring

17:33in people

17:35are not good.

17:37Like you said,

17:39we are putting 5 kgs of BFP

17:41in the soil

17:43to reduce the use

17:45of fertilizers

17:47and medicines.

17:49The soil is polluted

17:51with a lot of chemicals

17:53and we are trying to

17:55stop it.

17:57The Farmers'

17:59Agriculture Plan

18:01is very good

18:03but they are not able

18:05to do agriculture

18:07on such a large scale

18:09when they can claim

18:11or get an insurance.

18:13The Agriculture Department

18:15has decided that

18:17the farmers who have

18:19an insurance

18:21should get

18:23an insurance soon.

18:25If not,

18:27the companies

18:29will give 12% interest

18:31to the farmers.

18:33We have talked

18:35to the agencies

18:37about the farmers

18:39who are suffering.

18:41The government

18:43has given

18:45a payment

18:47to the farmers

18:49on the same day

18:51when they come to the center.

18:53If the farmers are

18:55suffering,

18:57they should get

18:59an insurance.

19:11I would like to congratulate

19:13the farmers

19:15through your channel

19:17that they are

19:19getting more

19:21benefits from

19:23vegetables

19:25and fruits.

19:27The Farmers'

19:29Agriculture Plan

19:31is very good.

19:33The farmers

19:35who have

19:37prepared the

19:39dringan

19:41are getting

19:432 to 2.5 lakh rupees

19:45in income.

19:47The dringan

19:49has become

19:51very popular

19:53in the villages

19:55where it is

19:57controlled.

19:59There is no problem

20:01with the dringan.

20:03The farmers

20:05are doing

20:07a lot of things.

20:09The experts believe

20:11that the government

20:13is trying to

20:15provide subsidies

20:17to the farmers.

20:19Water is very important

20:21for the farmers.

20:23The river has

20:25spread over

20:2770,000 km.

20:29Due to lack of water

20:31in the rivers,

20:33the farmers have

20:35to remove water

20:37from the land.

20:39In the next 20 years,

20:41the water

20:43in Uttar Pradesh

20:45may be a problem.

20:47The farmers

20:49are doing

20:51a lot of agriculture

20:53in these areas.

20:55There is a lot of water

20:57in these areas.

20:59The farmers

21:01have to remove water

21:03from the land.

21:05The government

21:07should put a ban

21:09so that the water

21:11pollution

21:13is reduced.

21:15The government

21:17should pay attention

21:19to this issue.

21:21If the government

21:23pays attention to this issue,

21:25the farmers will

21:27not only increase their income

21:29but also become rich.

21:31For India, I am Khursheed Ahmed
