Prime Time With Ravish Kumar: Madhya Pradesh's "Model Act" Draws Criticism

Prime Time With Ravish Kumar - December 23, 2020: A Delhi-based rice company allegedly refused to buy paddy from farmers of Hoshangabad district in Madhya Pradesh under the agreement of contract farming. A top official in Piparia initiated action under "Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Price Assurance and Farm Services Act 2020". This is what has been claimed by the government. The BJP immediately swung into action with the Chief Ministers and central ministers tweeted about it. The Madhya Pradesh government has amended the Krishi Upaj Mandi Adhiniyam Act of 1972 and passed the Model Mandi Act in May. The amendment allows traders to purchase farm goods, without a market fee being levied, from outside the mandi. For purchases inside the mandi the 0.5 per cent cess will be levied, making it less profitable for the trader. (Audio in Hindi)
