The basic basis of rural society is farming and agriculture related economy. The share of agriculture in India's GDP is about 18 percent. At the same time, about 45.5 percent of India's population is still dependent on the agricultural sector. Farmers have always been an important issue in the manifesto of every party in elections. Be it Crop Insurance Scheme or Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, many announcements have been made for farmers. Farmers have a big influence on 50 percent of the seats in the country. A large population also lives in cities, which is indirectly associated with agriculture. In such a situation, farmers and their related issues become very important in many seats of the country.
Farmers were seen as conscious voters
Farmers in India are seen as conscious voters. Their votes make the path to power easier. This is why all political parties make different strategies for the votes of rural India and include these issues in their manifestos.
Economy strengthened even during Covid
From a structural point of view we can say that India is a country of villages. India is considered an agricultural country. It is the farmers who have strengthened the country's economy by meeting the food needs even during a global pandemic like Covid. Agriculture is the most important issue for political parties. Farmers will have to understand the value of their vote. They need to strengthen the rural economy, create better equipment and infrastructure for rural areas and agriculture, credit facilities, plans to deal with losses in case of disaster, basic health and education facilities and provide better life to their families. .
Importance of farmers' votes for political parties
Certainly the vote of farmers is very important for all political parties. This is the reason why the Central Government has announced many schemes for farmers from time to time, but farmers are still not getting the full benefits of these schemes. On the other hand, rural youth expect permanent and good employment opportunities. For this, employment opportunities are being provided to rural youth through schemes like Mudra Yojana, Skill Development Scheme, Mahatma Gandhi NREGA. The voice of rural India is against poverty alleviation and inequality. The central government is also trying to eradicate poverty through schemes like Ayushman Bharat Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana and NREGA.
Farmers will play a decisive role
Rural India needs proper education and training, so that it can be modernized and developed. Therefore, the Central Government has started Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Scheme, Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan. Rural India expects convenient and affordable health services. The central government has provided assistance to healthcare providers in rural areas under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. The day farmers rise above religion, caste and political ideology and vote as farmers, the political scenario of the country will change. The day farmers will vote according to their agricultural capacity, economic policies will also change. Then the farmer will play a decisive role, he will be the center of economic progress and development.
