A BRAINSTORMING SESSION ON AGRARIAN CRISIS IN PUNJAB: DIAGNOSIS AND PROGNOSIS
(September 11, 2024)
Institute for Development & Communication, Chandigarh and Bharat Krishak Samaj are setting up a forum to brainstorm on certain aspects of the “Agrarian Crisis in Punjab”.
In the first of a series of discussions around the Agrarian Crisis in Punjab, we are initiating a dialogue around one of the much talked about solutions i.e. “crop diversification”.
The main focus of the brainstorm session would be to examine the following;
- • What is the nature of Agriculture Crisis in Punjab? How this crisis can be understood with reference to regional, national and global context?
- • Is crop diversification the answer to Agrarian Crises in Punjab?
- • Is crop diversification a practical and plausible alternative? If yes, why it could not happen since 1986?
