Chidambaram has cited this as one of the reasons for the Govt.’s failure to manage the situation(see here) and even the Congress party by a resolution called for “better agricultural policies”. As a result of the situation which has aggravated in the last few years, the Govt. has been obliged to commit from the public treasury, over Rs. 700 billion towards writing off loans given to farmers.
The country had to import large huge quantities of sub-standard wheat due to inadequate procurement but ostensibly to create a so-called strategic reserve. On the other hand, the situation within the country remains uncertain. A famine-like situation prevails once again in key states such Maharashtra. There are protests in various parts of the country over non-availability of fertilizers and seeds.
Here are some pictures which highlight the present situation.

Does not the PM realize what is going on? He is supposed to ensure that even senior ministers do not take things for granted.
Pawar thinks too much of himself.
I fully agree PM is responsible for keeping such mediocre ministers in his cabinet.
pawar is most overrated minister in the manmohan govt.
he should go to baramati and do farming there.
This will help in making sure that you might be giving the most effective for
your plants without buying something external
to whose which are not trustworthy. Another sort of
grow light is an excellent improvement in hydroponics equipment, and that's the brand new
LED grow lights who have recently been made available.
Understandably soil often harbours disease or pests which in turn could damage your plants and risk their healthy development.
