Get the markets right by strengthening and resorting to eNAM

Farmers of urad in Madhya Pradesh get Rs 25-26 for their produce, whereas farmers in  UP are getting over Rs 45 per kg.
Farmers in Punjab dump their potatoes on the streets in the absence of a reasonable price for them, prices in the neighbouring Delhi are in the region of Rs 15-20 per kg.  Such differences are the norm, not the exception, and creating the Indian farm crisis.

Above examples are falsifying stories,about claim of  the government telling us from time to time, that e NAM is a big success , but there is little evidence of it working.

The Government should have created several mandis for fruits & vegetables,in different parts of a city and ensured that these were not cartelised like Vashi and Azadpur. This, however, never happened, inspite of APMC-delisting of fruits & vegetables,there was no difference in the lives of farmers.

Here setting up of new mandis for fruits and vegetables was required to be done by providing free land, for creating new infrastructure.

Therefore, If agriculture has to do well, the government has to get the markets right  by  strengthening and resorting to eNAM and also by creating new infrastructure and payment system of mandis and terminal markets—deficiency payments are no substitute.
