Centre-farmers' standoff will resolve through dialogues: Vice President Last Updated : 18 Jan 2021 05:49:43 AM IST Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu on Sunday said that the current standoff between the protesting farmers and the Centre will resolve only through dialogues.
"We cannot forget the farmers' efforts in increasing the food production even during the Covid times," Naidu said while speaking at an awards ceremony jointly organised by Rythu Nestham and Muppavarapu Foundation at the Swarna Bharat Trust in Hyderabad.He also added that he sees the possibility of a certain meeting ground."Restriction-free marketing of farm produce has been a long-standing demand. One country and one food zone has been the demand for a long time. The development of the country is closely tied to farmer's progress," Naidu said.Comparing the farmers' compassion with that of a mother, he said: "It is the duty of everybody to support the farmers."The Vice President lauded the farmers for rendering a great service to the nation during the pandemic by pro3ducing record food grains despite hardship.He also appreciated the efforts shown by the doctors, sanitation workers, police and media personnel during the pandemic."Both the Centre and state governments should work as 'Team India' in addressing the needs of the farmers. Apart from ensuring remunerative prices, the farmers should be provided with timely and affordable credit."There was also a need to increase the cold storage facilities and the godowns at all levels. As a matter-of-fact, every tehsil must have a cold storage facility," Naidu added.Vice President pointed out that the people of India always accorded a very high status to agriculture and this was the reason why our festivals and rituals are closely associated with agriculture.Referring to a FAO (Food and Agriculture Organisation) report which cautioned about the food crisis in the coming times, Naidu asserted saying, "If we support our farmers, India would not only be food secure, but would also be able to feed the world."Naidu emphasised for a change in perspective towards agriculture among the public and urged the youth to become proactive partners in promoting farming.Earlier in the day, Naidu interacted with the youth undergoing training at the Swarna Bharat Trust and advised them to maintain discipline, eat healthy food and always remain fit. He said that the youth in India were highly talented and their skills need to be upgraded through regular training.IANS New Delhi For Latest Updates Please-
