'One Nation, One Agri Market' Act approved

Historical law has come, now every farmer will be able to make money from his crop
After all, that news for the farmers has come, which they have been waiting for years. The Central Government has approved the proposal to strengthen the farmers to make them self-reliant. The Central Government has enacted the law removing Mandis and Inspector Raj. Now the country's farmer will also become rich. He will have the freedom to sell his grain anywhere.

Paving the way for the 'One Nation - One Agri Market' for farmers, the Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved an ordinance allowing barrier-free trade outside the notified APMC mandis. Explain that the Agricultural Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Ordinance, 2020 (The Farming Produce Trade and Commerce Ordinance), prohibits state governments from taxing the sale and purchase of agricultural produce outside mandis. And gives farmers the freedom to sell their produce at a remunerative price.

Announcing the decision of the cabinet, Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said, 'The existing APMC mandis will continue to function. The state APMC law will remain. But outside the mandis, the ordinance will apply. He said that the ordinance is basically to create additional business opportunities outside the APMC market yard so that farmers can get remunerative prices due to the additional competition.

He said that any farmer with PAN card, companies, processors and FPOs can sell outside the premises of notified mandis. Buyers must pay the farmers immediately or within three days and provide a receipt after delivery of the goods. He said that there would be no 'Inspector Raj' to do business outside the mandis. The minister said that there will be no legal hurdle in doing uninterrupted trade outside the mandis.

At present, farmers are allowed to sell their agricultural produce in 6,900 APMC (Agricultural Produce Marketing Committees) mandis spread across the country. There are restrictions for farmers in selling agricultural produce outside the mandis.

Residuary Powers (Art. 248)

Article 248: "Parliament has exclusive power to make any law with respect to any matter not enumerated in List II or III. Such power shall include the power of making any law imposing a tax not mentioned in either of those lists" (It is to be noted that before independence, Governor-General, and not the federal legislature, which had such powers). Entry 97 of List I also lays down that Parliament has exclusive power to make laws with respect to any matter not enumerated in List II or III. Article 248 and Entry 97, List I, assign residuary powers of legislation exclusively to the Union Parliament. If no entry in any of the three lists covers a piece of legislation, it must be regarded as a matter not enumerated in any of the three lists and belonging exclusively to Parliament under Entry 97, List I. By virtue of Art. 248, Parliament has exclusive power to make any law with respect to any matter not enumerated in List II or List III, and for this purpose, and to avoid any...

आत्मनिर्भर भारत - Self Reliant India

Atmanirbharta or self-reliance is the new catchphrase for the Indian economy. It sounds new but is actually the earliest initiative of economic policymakers after this country attained independence. It flowed from the motto of swadeshi and boycott of colonial foreign goods that was an integral part of the freedom movement. The general public thus had no problem in accepting the ideas of self- reliance and import substitution advocated by Jawaharlal Nehru and his advisors as a critical element of economic policy. It gelled well with the theme of independence, not just from the colonial masters, but from imperialistic powers everywhere. In practice, of course, import substitution became one more element of red tape under the licence raj system that evolved under Nehru and his successors. It is with a sense of trepidation that one views the latest clarion call to achieve the goal of atmanirbharta. The last stimulus package was even described as the Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan. These ...
