Farm Laws Under the Spotlight: A Discussion with Farmer Leaders |Join us tomorrow!
Last week, we had a discussion with sectoral experts on how the new farm laws are a small, yet significant step towards liberalising agriculture and ensuring freedom for farmers. Now we continue this conversation, bringing in the voices and concerns of farmers themselves.
Join us on 16th October as we bring together three farmer leaders, Mr. Chengal Reddy, Mr. Anil Ghanwant and Mr. Bhupinder Singh Mann for a much-awaited Panel Discussion. We will explore farmers' perspectives on the new agriculture reforms, their concerns regarding implementation and what challenges remain in making agriculture a remunerative prospect.

Shri B. S. Sanyal, in this article published in the August 1957 edition of Indian Libertarian magazine, explains how a welfare state hinders the growth of prosperity in a society.
