Jat Farmers' Movement

The Jat Farmers' Movement is a protest by farmers from the Jat community in India, primarily across Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi, who demand fairer agricultural policies, loan waivers, and higher crop prices. They have organized mass demonstrations, blockades, and rallies to voice concerns over issues like rising debt, low income, and inadequate support from the government. The movement reflects broader frustrations over agricultural modernization, socio-economic challenges, and the need for policy reforms to ensure sustainable livelihoods for farmers. It highlights the importance of addressing farmers' demands within the framework of national food security and rural development.
