04 July :- To overcome the resentment of the farmers, the central government has increased the support price of all the 14 crops in Kharif. Given the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, this move of the government is being viewed as a master stroke in a way.
The government has increased the support price of paddy by Rs. 200 per quintal. Earlier, the farmers got Rs 1550 for the paddy but now they will be given Rs 1750 for this purpose. About 12 crore farmers of the country will be benefitted directly.
After the central government’s decision-
Crop Old Price New Price (Quintal)
Paddy- 1550 Rs 1750
Moong- 4650 6975 Rs
Urad – 5400 5006
Arhar- 3432 5675 Rs
Jwar- 1619 2,430 rupees
Bajra- 990 Rs 1,950
Mecca 1131 Rs 1700
Cotton- 3433 5150 rupees
Peanut 3260 4890 Rs
Soyabeen 2266 3399 Rs
Mole 4266 6249
Ramalinga 3918 5877
Ragi ….. 2,897 rupees
Sunflower seed — Rs 5388
After this decision PM Modi said that I am very happy that the promise of giving the 1.5 MSP MSP of the Kisan brothers and sisters to the farmers has been fulfilled today. Historical increase has been made this time in the minimum support price for the crops.
He said, “Whatever initiative is necessary for development of agriculture sector and for the welfare of the farmers, the government is committed to it. We have been consistently taking steps in this direction and will continue to take necessary steps. ”
मुझे अत्यंत खुशी हो रही है कि किसान भाइयों-बहनों को सरकार ने लागत के 1.5 गुना MSP देने का जो वादा किया था, आज उसे पूरा किया गया है। फसलों के न्यूनतम समर्थन मूल्य में इस बार ऐतिहासिक वृद्धि की गई है। सभी किसान भाइयों-बहनों को बधाई।

At the same time, Indian Farmer Union Punjab has termed the increase of 200 rupees on the paddy crop of the Modi government as “inadequate”. Balbir Singh Rajewal, leader of the Indian Farmer Union, has expressed displeasure over the Center’s decision.
