Question

Write A Essay on The Indayan Farmer.

Answer 1

India is predominently an agricultural country. Most of the people of India earn their livelihood by farming. They are called farmers. In fact, India is a land of farmers.

Before independecne, the Indian farmers had to labour hard in sun and showers. They were exploited by rich landlords, and money lenders. They used to lead a miserable life because of poverty. They had to depend on uncertain monsoons. They supplied food to the entire country. But they themselves remained hungry. They could not send their children for education.

Even today the life of an Indian farmer is very hard. He has to work hard in his field. He has to plough his fields and sow the seeds. He has to water the crops and watch them day and night. Harvesting is also no easy job. It is very difficult and tiring. Even with so much labour our farmers live from hand to mouth. Their condition is pitiable.  

 The government of free India has taken steps to improve the conditions of our farmers. Farmers are now treated as important member of our society. The government is all out to provide them seeds and fertilizers. They have been trained to use better methods. Better facilities for irrigation have been provided. Scientists are working day and night to give the farmers the latest knowledge of farming. Farmers are now taking to the mechanised farming. Rural banks and co-operative society give loans to the farmers. There are better facilities for marketing and transporting agricultural goods. The government have fixed the minimum price of their products.
