Indian farmers' rights

Indian farmers' rights include the ability to own, cultivate, and sell their land and produce freely, while also having protections against unfair laws or policies that could harm their livelihood. They are entitled to benefits like minimum support prices, access to seeds, credit, and technical advice. Laws like the Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce Act aim to give farmers more control over where and how they sell their crops, reducing dependency on middlemen. Overall, these rights seek to ensure farmers can operate sustainably and gain fair compensation, though the implementation of policies remains a complex and ongoing process.
