Kisan Bill

The Kisan Bill 2020, officially known as the Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce Act, was introduced in India to reform the agricultural market. It aimed to allow farmers to sell their produce directly to buyers outside of traditional markets, without facing state taxes or regulations. The bill sought to boost farmers' income by promoting competition and offering more choices. However, it faced significant opposition from farmers who feared it could undermine the minimum support price system and benefit large corporations at their expense. The legislation sparked widespread protests and debate about its potential impact on agriculture and farmer livelihoods.
