ENGLISH LANGUAGEDirections (1-5) : Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions
given below it. Certain words have been printed in bold to help you locate them
while answering some of the questions.
We should recognise the indebtedness of the country to its farm families who toil to
safeguard national food security. Loan waiver is the price we have to pay for the
neglect of rural India over the past. several decades. There has been a gradual decline
in investment in key sectors related to agriculture such as infrastructure, marketing,
post harvest technology etc. The four crore farmers whose debt is to be relieved will
be eligible for institutional credit for their cultivation expenses during Kharif 2008.
The challenge is to prevent them from getting into the debt trap again. For this
purpose the Central and various State governments should set up an Indebted
Farmers’ Support Consortium, comprising scientists. panehayat raj officials and others
relevant to assisting farmers to improve the profitability and productivity of their
farms in an environmentally sustainable manner. The smaller the farm the greater is
the need fur marketable surplus to reduce indebtedness.
The Indebted Farmers’ Support Consortium should aim to get all the four crore
farmers all the benefits of the government schemes such as the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas
Yojana, Irrigation Benefit Programme and others. If this is done every farm family
released from the debt trap should be able to produce at least an additional half tonne
per hectare of food grains. This should help increase food production by about 20
million tonnes by 200810. At a time when global and national food stocks are
dwindling and prices are rising, this will be a timely gain for our national food
security. We need to ensure that the outcome of the debt waiver is enhanced farmers’
income and production. The prevailing gap between potential and actual yields in the
crops of rainfed areas such as pulses and oilseeds is over 200 per cent even with the
necessary technologies on the shelf. We are now importing without duty large
quantities of pulses and oilseeds. If helped, farmers can produce these at a lower cost.
Opportunities for assured and remunerative marketing are essential if loan waiver is not
to become a recurring event leading to the destruction of the credit system. This is why
the Minimum Support Price is necessary for all not just for a few crops which is the case
at present. This is the single most effective step to urgent step which needs to be Laken.
The loan waiver does not cover those who borrow from Moneylenders. It will not be
possible for the government to scrutinise the veracity of such private deals but steps can
be taken such as giving them Smart Cards which will entitle them to essential inputs like
