DW BUREAU / chandigarh The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), raising various important questions related to the Farmers movement, urged the government that while considering the solutions, efforts should be made to resolve the problem in a comprehensive manner taking into account the important role played by various other stakeholders connected with farming. Any temporary solution will not be in the interest of Agriculture, farmers and other stakeholders. Appeasing one section may raise dissatisfaction among other connected sectors which may lead to one another movement. Therefore, the interest of all the sectors connected with farming need to be protected. CAIT Chandigarh Chapter President Harish Garg said that there is no doubt that even after the completion of almost 75 years of independence, the farmers in the country are cultivating deficit farming. Considering this it is very important to convert the deficit farming of the farmers into profitable farming. The government should take concrete steps on this. They further said that in view of the current situation, the farmers' movement has given an opportunity to have a re- look on entire agriculture system, administrative system and the role played by other stakeholders and therefore it is important to find an overall comprehensive solutions to the persisting situation . Garg raised the question that the farmer is the only class in the country which according to a rough estimate gets a subsidy of about 1.5 lakh crore per annum but even then the farmers are indulging into deficit farming. It certainly speaks that the current agricultural system and administrative system for agriculture is suffering from various shortcomings and leakages and due to which there is no change in the condition of the farmers. The bigger question is before Modi Government, why no other Government in the past ever took any notice of it ? Harish Garg said that the traders, who have been working in and outside the mandis for centuries, provides transportation for the farmers for their crops, supplying agricultural commodities and various other sectors like food grains, agricultural implements and tools, food processing, trade of seeds, pesticides, fertilizers, agricultural vehicles, spare parts of agricultural equipments, vehicle parts, motors, rubber and plastic pipes, transport and logistics, and others are directly connected to the general farming process and finally help the farmers in realising best prices for their crops,therefore, the question arises that who will protect the interests of all these stakeholders while taking any decision on the current issues of farming ?
