New Agricultural Laws

The New Agricultural Laws in India are a set of three laws aimed at reforming the farming sector. They allow farmers to sell their crops outside government-regulated markets, enter into direct contracts with buyers, and reduce restrictions on storing produce. The goal is to promote free trade, improve farmers' income, and attract investment. However, some farmers fear these laws could weaken existing protections, leading to concerns about fair prices and bargaining power. The laws are designed to modernize agriculture but have sparked ongoing protests and debates over their impact.
