Centre to Introduce Laws on Seeds and Fertilisers
The government is planning to make new laws to help farmers.
One law will be about seeds, making sure they are good quality and not too expensive.
Another law will stop people from selling fake fertilisers.
The government will also punish those who cheat farmers.
Additionally, there is a new act that says if workers are not paid on time, they will get extra money.
The government is also increasing the budget for paying the people who manage these schemes.
At a big meeting for farmers, the government announced many new projects and money to help farmers, like building roads and giving money for farming and animals.
The Centre plans to introduce a Seed Act and Pesticide Act to address farmers' concerns about seed quality, availability, and cost.
Another law will be made to prevent the use and availability of fake fertilisers and spurious manure.
Stringent penalties will be imposed on those who dupe farmers.
The VB-G RAM-G Act 2025 includes provisions for interest on delayed wages and increased administrative expenditure.
At a Kisan Sammelan, benefits and development projects worth over Rs 3,200 crore were announced for farmers.
