Why farmers in Haryana are leaving their fields vacant?

Haryana is facing a severe water crisis. In some places, groundwater has completely depleted and in others, there is the problem of waterlogging. Experts suggest that excessive cropping of paddy is responsible for this adverse scenario. To counter this challenge, the government Haryana government has started a scheme named Mera Pani-Meri Virasat, wherein the government provides compensation to farmers who decide to grow crops other than paddy in their fields. Down To Earth visited three districts in Haryana, Karnal, Kurukshetra, and Jhajjar to find out more about this.

Water and Soil cisis also exist in Western Uttar pradesh because of crops like Sugarcane and Rice. But there is no attention to the issue because of lack of political Strength & Will while West Up is bigger than Haryana in Area. West UP have the largest belt of Sugarcane in India stretched from Sharanpur, Muzzafarnagar, Meerut, Bhagpat, Ghaziabad, Bijnor, Moradabad, Amroha and Bulandshahr. I requested to D2Earth to give the light to the issues of West UP

That's because the government invested in big farmers to grow rice in semi-arid areas like Punjab and Haryana without investing in the human resources of the uneducated but rich Northwest regions, which would've made farmers more conscious about the environment, society and sustainability but more importantly encouraged them to strive for a more equal and fair society The contrast between rich Jatt farmers owning big properties and Audis exploiting poor labourers from UP, Bihar and poor farmers committing suicide along with their whole families because of racking up enormous debt is only the result of such shortsighted government interventions Sadly the governments in Punjab and Haryana at this are controlled by the powerful Jatt community who care the least about an egalitarian society and would rather talk about Ram Rajya or Khalistan to distract the public from the appalling wealth inequality in Punjab/Haryana with many of them migrating to Canada using the same wealth the government invested in them

किसान करने को सब कुछ कर सकता है पर बिना सरकार के सहयोग के कुछ नही हो सकता। और सरकारों की नीति ये है की किसान खेती ही छोड़ दे। गेंहू धान के इलावा और बहुत फसलें है पर उनका समर्थन मूल्य नही मिलता। चाहे वो जो हो चना हो बाजरा हो मूंग हो उड़द हो। जब किसान की फसल आती है तो किसान का चना 50 रुपए बिकता है और वही चना दुकान पर 80 रुपए बिक रहा है यही हाल दूसरी फसलों का है। जब तक ये भावांतर रहेगा कोई किसान गेहूं धान के फसली चक्कर से बाहर नही निकलेगा। चाहे पानी खत्म हो जाए चाहे जमीन बंजर हो जाए

This problem is occured due to excess use of fertiliser that form salt with react with mineral of original soil. If some one says that due to excess cultivation of rice or lack of rain but it may be not. From the last thousands of year rice was cultivated but why this problem happened now only. This is due to excess of fertiliser that lead to hardness of soil when it dry. If I am wrong correct me.

This was a mistake Haryana and Punjab made, paddy cultivation was never for their fields but they used excess urea for the production and the result was fatal. Their fields were best suited for wheat but just for the sake of profit they destroyed their future. I am from eastern UP and I know exactly what it takes for paddy cultivation. We have black soil best suited for paddy cultivation but we grow chana(gram) also so that it can fix nitrogen from the air to the fields. Paddy cultivation need huge amount of water that's why we installed tube wells for the water supply.

The overdemand of paddy in the market instead of other whole grains (e.g., barley, corn, fruits, and vegetables) is the problem. People on the demand side must change their attitude as the salty and undesirable farmland reflects their mindset. In addition, fruits, vegetables, barley, and corn are much healthier than paddy. Please look at their benefits. The government should encourage other whole grains. DIVERSITY IS THE KEY!

There’s a Swiss or Northman research about how to use such salt issues that has something about growing certain potato crops that only only grow fine but remove the salt due to their biological metabolism that breakdown salt molecule for growth. That made sense because potatoes also remove excess salt from cooking pot when added for the purpose. Knowledge shouldn’t be held back from anyone in need. 🇵🇰 from your neighbor!
