New Delhi: Biju Janata Dal (BJD) MP Dr. Sasmit Patra on Thursday urged the Centre to resolve the farmers’ issues of Odisha.
The BJD MP raised the three pressing issues of the farmers in the Rajya Sabha through a Special Mention.
The Government of India needs to ensure timely payments of Fasal Bima (crop insurance) to the farmers failing which they have to undergo a lot of suffering, Dr. Patra said.
He said that many farmers especially in western, coastal and southern Odisha are suffering due to non-payments and delayed payments of Fasal Bima.
The BJD MP further demanded that the Minimum Support Price (MSP) of Paddy should be fixed at Rs.2930 per quintal as it was unanimously resolved in the Odisha Legislative Assembly. It will enable farmers to have their right price for their produce, he said.
Dr. Patra also urged the Centre to implement the recommendations of the Swaminathan Commission report including providing MSP at 1.5 times of the C2 value for the development and welfare of the farmers in Odisha.
The Odisha Government has written to the Centre several times on these issues, he added.
