Samyukt Kisan Morcha

Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) is an umbrella organization representing Indian farmers' unions. Formed in late 2020, it coordinated protests against three farm laws introduced by the government, which farmers believed would threaten their livelihoods by favoring large corporations. The SKM advocated for the repeal of these laws through peaceful demonstrations, sit-ins, and negotiations. It united farmers from different regions and communities to voice their concerns, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding their rights and ensuring fair practices in agriculture. The movement highlighted the significance of farmer voices in shaping agricultural policy in India.
