GDP and Economy are grossly linked to the resource produced within the country. We are gross consumers. But in order to have the economy grow up we need the producers to the protected. The investments made by the farmers are at great risk due to various factors like climate, drought, diseases etc. The grievances can be alleviated by advance warning systems and proper guidance and support. The reason for the bad debts are primarily due to these risk factors which grow up monstrous without control and eventually lead to disaster on investments as well as the farmer itself. Advance warning systems like weather information, suggestions on the right fertilizers, guidance on use of right perstisides and doses for the crops. This will help the farmers to use pesticides for crops and not for themselves. Agencies who have the information must share and reach up in a palpable manner to the farmers. But the consumers like us are recipient of all these for a luxury drive with weather info, geographical info etc. but not the farmers. Farmers must be guided with other business logics and also be taught with better OPERATION RESEARCH to have their resources obtained at low cost.
ALL THESE HAVE TO BE DONE WITHOUT A MIDDLE MAN/BROKER/TOUT.
Lets try to do what ever we can do at our level in divulging these advance notification or teach them to use the technology to read notifications on weather or other information related to their trade.
Lets make a better India.
