Direct subsidies to farmers

Modi is focusing on farmers, at a time when there is a looming national drought. And rightly so!! For too long, the sharks have been swindling the money earmarked for farmers.

Now, the subsidies are going to go directly to farmers. Need to wait and watch the efficacy of it's implementation. I do foresee initial hiccups, but with almost 1.1 Billion Aadhar cards issued, there should not be much problems in reaching out, coupled with Jan Dhan accounts.


A fantastic step, in the right direction, along with neem-coated urea. I want Modi for another two terms please!!
