Did you look at how Mumbai was drenched earlier this week? The monsoon season is finally here! And we have something just right for the season!
Our June print issue is on how India's farmers are still too dependent on monsoons, on how nearly every aspect of India's approach to agriculture is WRONG. A great deal of injustice has been done to farmers - he or she is given too much bad subsidies, forced to live in poverty because of bad policies and more.
Any which way you look at it, the Indian Agriculture story is a big tragedy and needs to be fixed. We're covering these aspects in detail in our most recent print issue. R Jagannathan has written a fabulous listicle - 10 tens that are wrong with Indian agriculture. It's one of his best articles so far! MR Subramani talks about how the monsoon makes or breaks a year's agri-output. There's also some coverage of crop insurance and more.
This is a great package on Indian agriculture and how to fix it. Have you read it yet? Buy a Swarajya subscription today, get your print copy and spend 20-30 minutes of quality time.
