Daily Excelsior (India) published an article on the ongoing farmer protests. The present stalemate between Government of India and protesting farmers doesn’t show any signs of resolution as of now. Farmers have a multitude of concerns that can be resolved, in their opinion, by removing the government bills at the center of debate. While the government feels these concerns are addressed by the bills. One concern is equality for all. According to an IFPRI report found that 63.3% of rural India could not afford the Cost of Recommended Diet(CoRD). The purported food surplus seems to be the results of inadequate food consumption due to affordability issues. These legislations will help to remove this anomaly.
