2.         Farmer producer organisations are allowed to purchase food grains   directly from farmers, without (#APMC) agriculture produce Market Committee and middle man interference. The (#e-NAM) National agriculture market has been granted a sanction for the whole Nation and the state States has to take the decision.
3.         #Coronavirus now proved that along with doctors, police, government official the very important thing what we need is the food grains,vegetables, fruits that is the priority for the human being. It is the fundamental requirement for living our life and hence the primary requirements is agriculture.

Junk food is very dangerous for our life and these habits to be changed and to be replaced with organic food.
5.          FCI godowns are now full with food grains (rice, wheat etc) and the it can give food security for a whole year to India. It is very good news for India but the farmer behind the food security in India is not to be neglected and priority  to be given for rural and agriculture enterprise.
6.         Due to corona effect, the labors working in cities now shifting to villages.   Hence with regards to agriculture the employable policy for agriculture is to be designed and is to be changed. It  is the need of hour  for the government to look into the policy and has to interfere the policies which are anti employment to the youth of rural India.

Like a ‘family doctor’, we have to choose a ‘family farmer’. That is a Win-Win situation. We will get the fruits, vegetable with lesser prices and the farmer also get a good price and good value for the product.

9.         There  are drastic changes to happen in the value chain, post pandemic Corona effect. The government has to change the policies seriously and the whole Food supply Chain and the revolution in agriculture has to happen.
10.  Government has to focus on the rural economy and the priority should be given to agriculture sector, for the sustainable economic growth. The decentralized economy is very important for the whole Indian economy to flourish in longer run. The farmer has to be kept at the centre stage and policies to be designed. As farmer has been neglected till date but now we have to change our focus.  His income should be increased for the real economic growth of the country. 

                      For our humanity, the policies regarding farming, agriculture and rural has to be revisited. for the development of the whole economy the agriculture processing industry, farming community and food processing industries has to be e given priority. It is required to increase the Rural Employment and to upgrade the income of the rural youth so that they will not shift to the cities as a labor (Dihadi Majdoor) .
