The Indian Finance Minister announced an INR 1.7 trillion package shortly after the nationwide lockdown was announced, mostly to shield the weak (particularly farmers) from the effects of the Corona pandemic. Among a plethora of incentives, the announcement included a payment of INR 2000 to farmers’ bank accounts as income support under the PM-KISAN plan. The government also increased the wage rate for employees covered by the NREGA, the world’s largest pay guarantee programme. The Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana (Prime Minister’s programme for the welfare of the poor) was announced as a specific programme to care for the vulnerable population. For the next three months, additional grain allotments to registered beneficiaries was also announced. A special PM-CARES (Prime Minister Citizen Aid and Relief in Emergency Situations) fund has been established to provide cash and food assistance to people working in the informal sector, predominantly migratory labourers. Agricultural harvests also arrive at the Mandis (market yard) during this time, where they are examined and processed by government-designated entities. The Union Home Ministry decided that farmers’ movement, farm labourers, and harvesting machinery be exempted from the lockdown, which was a huge step forward. We can fairly say life has changed a lot since March 2020, and trying to return to normal isn’t something we can do. Farmers and the agriculture sector have faced multiple challenges and the fact the COVID eruption got so widespread was something no one could predict. Wearing masks has become the new normal and the sanitiser business which was an elite affair has boomed like no other business. No doubt businesses have adapted to these changing times and are trying to bounce back to the pre-covid level. While on the one hand farmers faced challenges, the startups in the agriculture sector have tried to address farmers’ needs and provide them solutions. Amidst all the challenges that Covid brings, everyone across the globe is looking for better days to come.
