Farmers' Bills

Farmers' Bills refer to a set of legislative proposals enacted in India in 2020 aimed at reforming the agricultural sector. These laws were intended to modernize farming, allowing farmers to sell their produce directly to buyers, which proponents argued would increase their income and efficiency. However, the bills faced significant opposition from farmers, who feared they would undermine their income and the traditional support provided by government markets. Protests erupted across the country, highlighting deep divisions over agricultural policies, ultimately leading to the repeal of the laws in late 2021.
