FARMER – THE REAL BAHUBALI OF INDIA

In our daily lives, we enjoy every meal but do we ever think of the sacrifice that goes behind it, of those who sweat their blood to sustain our lifeline, they are Indian farmers, the lifeline of our nation. It is really great that we honor the great men and women who has devoted their lives to this country. But not all heroes get their picture in history book. Farmers aren’t drawn to spotlight and we aren’t good at praising them either.

THE REAL BAHUBALI (Indian Farmer) –

The farmers of India are the greatest working all over the world being it working from dawn to dusk, heat to rain and from kharif to Rabi. They don’t think of any gold or silver or of being fashionable, but the gold that they think of is, the crops that grow in their field.  Farmers have a special discipline and attention to detail of their planning (land preparation, sowing dates and pasture management) which is not an easy task. Farmers are most courageous like Bahubali as they are prepared to face any type of contingency and risk, but also, they recover very fast after disaster. They are well tuned to environment in saving natural resources.  Even during the present Covid times he is struggling to feed his nation that no people should die of hunger.

 Now a day’s situation has become more worse like even marrying a famer make them feel guilty, they even can give their girl to an attender of Govt employee but not to a farmer. We need to educate the present generation in their school education about the farmer and their lives, which helps them to respect the farmers.

They toil to produce food that flows in the veins of our nation, today no wonder that we are the largest producer of milk in the world, second largest producer of rice, wheat, sugarcane, cotton, all because of Indian famers. They have shaped India’s progress by contributing 15% of GDP and being the backbone of the country. They should be the one’s who should be respected in the society.

It is our duty as students of agriculture to recognize the importance of agriculture and give due respect to our farmers. The day a farmer wants his son to be a farmer not out of compulsion but by choice; we’ll know that we’ve succeeded. We need to know that we are working with farmers which means farmers indirectly  have helped us in providing employment. So next time you see a farmer, salute them 

“Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan”
