On the 10th day of the Parliament, there was a debate on the legal guarantee of MSP for farmers and all agricultural products.
After the members discussed all the aspects related to MSP, a bill was introduced in the Kisan Sansad.
This includes revamping of cost estimates, MSP formula at least 50 per cent above the C-2 cost of production, 50 per cent procurement guarantee, ensuring government intervention in the market.
During the debate, farmers' representatives supported this bill and highlighted the recommendations of the Swaminathan Commission.
The farmers demanded that the labor of the family of the farmers should be treated as safe wages. At the time of calculation of MSP, it is also necessary to apply fixed rates for wages.
