President Ram Nath Kovind said that my government wants to make it clear that before the creation of three new agricultural laws, there was no reduction in the rights and facilities which were under the old system. Rather, through these agricultural reforms, the government has given new rights to farmers as well as new rights.
“After extensive deliberations, Parliament has passed three important agrarian reforms, the Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Simplification) Bill, Agriculture (Empowerment and Protection) Price Assurance and Agricultural Services Agreement Bill, and Essential Commodities Amendment Bill seven months ago. “
