Exporters & farmers seek incentives from Centre to boost onion export
Nashik: A delegation of onion exporters and farmers met with Union consumer minister Pralhad Joshi on Monday in Delhi, seeking incentives on onion exports to boost demand for the produce. Farmers also demanded a grant of Rs 500 per quintal for those who sold their produce at lower rates. Their demands come given the drop in average wholesale onion prices, which have declined to Rs 1,275 per quintal. The delegation included Vikas Singh, the vice-president of the Horticulture Produce Exporters Association (HPEA), and Deepak Pagar of the farmers' association. "We have urged Union consumer minister Pralhad Joshi to increase the rate of remission of duties and taxes on exported products (RoDTEP) up to 5%, and also give a transport subsidy of 7% on cost of freight for onion export to boost export of the produce and stabilise the wholesale onion prices in mandis in the interest of farmers," said Vikas Singh. Deepak Pagar, a leader of the farmers' association, said the cost of onion production is Rs 1,800 per quintal, and farmers incur heavy financial losses if they get a price below that. At present, average wholesale onion prices have dropped to Rs 1,200 per quintal, and farmers are incurring heavy losses. Pagar urged the minister to provide a grant of Rs 500 per quintal to those onion farmers who have sold their produce at the lower rate during the last six months. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search Ads Get Info Undo Pagar also urged the minister not to sell the buffer stock onions before Sept, as the wholesale onion prices will drop further, and that will lead farmers to incur heavy financial losses. The minister assured the delegation to look into their issues positively and also that the buffer stock of the onions would be sold after Sept this year.

Fair compensation act restricts multi-crop land acquisition: Minister
Bathinda: Union minister of state for agriculture Ramnath Thakur has made it clear that land can be acquired for public purposes under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (RFCTLARR) Act, 2013, but its Section 10 restricts the acquisition of multi-crop irrigated land, unless in exceptional cases where no alternative land is available. The Act came into force on Jan 1, 2014. The statement was made in a written reply to a question from Bathinda MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Tuesday. The response comes amid a controversy in Punjab, where the state govt's land pooling policy aiming to acquire nearly 65,000 acres of fertile land, is facing opposition from farmers. The minister said that data on conversion of agricultural land for non-agricultural purposes is maintained at the state level, as land is a state subject. However, the RFCTLARR Act strongly discourages such conversions. To mitigate the impact on farmers, the Act provides for compensatory mechanisms, including monetary compensation, rehabilitation and resettlement benefits, and in some cases, land-for-land compensation, according to the minister. Despite a marginal decline in cultivable land, Thakur provided a positive outlook on the agriculture sector's performance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Tiny Hearing Aid is Transforming Lives Across The UK Hear True Learn More Undo Citing the "Land Use Statistics-at a Glance 2023-24" report, he stated that the net sown area has remained relatively stable. Further, the gross cropped area has expanded significantly, rising from 201.3 million hectares in 2013-14 to 217.8 million hectares in 2023-24. Implementation of various govt initiatives and technological advancements have contributed to a continuous rise in cropping intensity. Harsimrat's question sought details on whether the govt acknowledged the decline in agricultural land, the factors contributing to it, and the specific steps taken to prevent the diversion of agricultural land for non-agricultural purposes.

Inmates of Thozhi hostels left in distress, as inclusion of GST pushes rent up
The Social Welfare department's move to include Goods and Services Tax (GST) in monthly rent, thereby increasing the rent by over ₹1,000, has caused hardship and confusion to inmates of Thozhi hostels. In Adyar, the Thozhi hostel where a twin-sharing non air-conditioned (AC) room cost ₹5,800, now costs ₹6,844. In Tambaram hostel — one of the most expensive Thozhi hostels — a twin sharing non AC room now costs ₹9,200 with GST. New inmates would have to pay the revised rate for the first 90 days. In early 2024, the Union government had levied a 18% GST on hostels and paying guest accommodations with exemptions provided to those tenants who paid rent less than ₹20,000 and resided in the accommodation for over 90 days. These government-run hostels provide amenities, such as creche services, lifts, entry with biometrics, Wifi services, geysers among others. Presently in 13 locations across the State, the government has planned for 13 more. The sudden increase has left many hostellers in a fix. 'This increase does not justify the amenities that are being provided. The hostel is empowering women entering the workforce, however the hike only takes much of our salary. There is little left to support our family,' said Gowri*, an inmate from Thanjavur who stays at the Adyar hostel. Explaining the move, a senior official from the Social Welfare department stated that last year the GST component was taken from the rent paid by the inmates. 'They had been residing at a discounted price as the quoted price on the website was inclusive of the GST. This year, we have decided to collect the rent at the original rate and levy the GST separately,' the official added. The move has met with backlash from the hostellers. 'I come from a poor financial background and I am trying to prepare for my postgraduation. The rent of ₹4,605 does not justify the amenities provided. There is no canteen, sporadic WiFi which affects my studies and leaky roofs in bathrooms,' said Radha* from Adyar hostel. Pointing out that food expenses are in addition to the rent, Tulsi from Thozhi hostel in Guduvancherry said, 'Even if the government hostel is to be competitive with other private entities, there is at least an option of food in private facilities for the ₹8,000 that they take. This rental increase in a government accommodation for empowering women does not seem justified by the various amenities.' The inmates have petitioned the Tamil Nadu Working Women's Hostel Corporation and the Chief Minister's Cell but to no avail. Noting the hardship, the official added that the government has planned to write to the GST council to exempt the hostels run by the government from GST in order to provide relief to the inmates.
