The most popular Harvest Festival in India is Pongal. This is Four days festival. ON the first day, people replace old things with new once. On the second day, people praise Almighty Sun. The Sun is ultimate energy for all living beings on the earth. The Solar energy plays vital role in farming too. On the third day, people praise cattle. The cattle played major role in ploughing, dairy etc. On the fourth day, people have get together.
The Pongal is celebrated as a Farmers Festival. India is a country where majority of people are engaged in farming. The status of these Farmers degrading day by day. Even Farmers are not preferring his successors to be a farmer. People say Indian farmers live in debt and die in debt. But no one has taken measures to secure these farmers.
Politician create laws and Executives implement but this scenario never changed. I don't want to get into the political issues. The Farmers merely get 10-20 % of most of the selling crop's price. The rest is earned by the middle man. The farmers should at-least get 40-50% of the crop's market price.
The urban people treat villagers or peasants as illiterate. Farmers and their families were ill-treated by urban people. This makes an impression in the minds of the farmer that there is no value in farming to his successors.
In reality farmers are not illiterate, they know many things related to nature compared to the educated showing off people. Only thing is they may not know about the advanced technology that the urban people are used to. The Farmers must be aided to upgrade themselves to the dynamic world.
The farmlands are divided into small fragments due to this the effective productivity of these farmers are reduced. The advanced technology machines may not be effective for small fragmented land. The Farmlands must be integrated to increase effective productivity.
Everyone in the nation must treat farmers has lords. They are the ones who would feed the raising population. Government should give preference to backward farmers and their families.
Everyone does something to get any sort of food, but why should farmers who cultivate suffer to get something for their own. This must change, otherwise nation will face famine.
