To day someone had put out some nice charts that in our villages where more than 50% of our population stays is heading for a huge crisis.
There is reverse migration of urban poor to rural areas due to lack of work for labour class due to work on construction of roads and housing slowing down.
The rural labour wages has remained almost constant with just 3 % increase in the last year as compared to 10% or more a decade back.
Farm sector is bleeding with MSP for a number of commodities being less than cost of input.
Free power for agriculture is leading only to over pumping of water as the pumpsets are left on whole night flooding the field with excess water and the land
becoming saline.
The rural distress has started affecting rural spending leading to lesser off take of consumer goods and jewellery..
lack of efficient transportation and movement of produce is adding to woes and distress sale.
It is a bleak scenario . A time bomb waiting to explode with monsoon also playing truant in certain parts of india and farmers suicides on the increase.
There appears to be no silver lining.
The farmer leaders have disappeared. Farmers are truly orphans in the new economy.
