It must be used for farmers’ benefit
On the economic policy front, it was amply clear that unlike other crises, Covid-19 had a significant impact on demand and supply. India recognised the disruptive impact and had to charter its unique path amidst the dismal projections. As a result of the policy initiatives undertaken by the government, as per the Economic Survey, the country saw a V-shaped recovery.
In the backdrop of an unprecedented crisis, the year 2020-21 had been a challenging one on the fiscal front. The shortfall in revenue collection owing to the interruption in economic activity and the additional expenditure requirements to mitigate the fallout of the pandemic on the economy created immense pressure on the available limited fiscal resources.

The farming community in the State is a disappointed lot as the Union Budget has failed to address their issues. Most of them expected a one-time farm loan waiver following the Covid and related lockdowns. Sami Natarajan, state secretary of the Tamil Nadu Farmers’ Association said, “There were no effective steps announced for fixing remunerative prices for agriculture produce, and no major irrigation schemes to convert rain-fed farm lands into irrigated ones.” Natarajan said that over 55 per cent of the total farm land is rain-fed.
