Agriculture expert and policy commentator, Devinder Sharma, during a panel discussion underscored the need and justification for legal minimum support price (MSP) as a vital measure for improving the plight of the farming community in India. Amid the ongoing farmers' protests, Sharma argued that a legal MSP, which would set a base price below which no entity (whether it's organized retail, the public sector, or middlemen) could purchase crops, is the best solution to alleviate the crisis faced by Indian farmers. He underlined that this would not place an undue burden on the exchequer and would rather benefit the economy by putting more money into the hands of farmers. The discussion also touched upon criticisms that the protests were centered largely on wealthy farmers of Punjab, whereas Sharma argued that the demands for the legal MSP would benefit all farmers across states and regions. #DevinderSharma #FarmersProtests #AgricultureInIndia #LegalMSP #IndianEconomy #rajdeepsardesai #newstoaday
