After providi8ng for ‘employment’ by agri-businesses, the surplus will trek to the cities in search of unskilled work. I expect mushrooming of street vendors, eking out an existence hawking anything and everything. The keywords are pakodawala, chaiwala, bhajiwala, macchiwala, paowala, undewala etc. This is in response to Roji Mathew

Major imports of India include cereals, edible oils, and petroleum products, to satisfy rising consumption by middle income groups.
This import trade is regulated by Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) under Ministry of Commerce.
1: Sugar and sugar confectionary
2: Dried vegetables
3: Fruits
4: Coffee, tea and spices
5: Dairy products
6: Cereals
7: Preserved fruit, vegetables and fruit juices

Retail sector, hotel industry and food processing sector import from USA and other developed nations significant amounts of processed food under categories listed above. I am not sure if these imports fall under GAAT or governed by individual contracts.
Indian food exports are aimed at Indian Diaspora in the US, EU, and Middle East, apart from Basmati rice and Atta. These latter are staples consumed by Arabs too.
It is likely that corporate houses will enter into contract farming where large contiguous plots of land are available like in north India states, Punjab, Haryana, U.P, Bihar, Rajasthan and Odisha. Such farm contiguity is rare in South Indian states except in Deccan Plateau regions. When this happens, many small marginal farmers will be pushed out of farming. (contd)

This article is having clear information on new agriculture policies. But I still believe that it should benefit to the farmers in future.

Very simple and detailed interpretation of the new bill..success of 1993 general agreement of trade and tariff is the good example for the defenders of this liberalisation...
1)Can we expect a good success in the quality of life by this law like GATT or need to wait for the time see the effects...
2)What will happen to the proposed free trade agreement with USA as USA and western world are eagerly looking for the exploitation of world agri-food-farm market.If so definitely it will affect their trade deficit with india(again an upper hand for china).
3)If the sponsors dont have the attraction of an export market then,will it attract the free flow of capital like GATT
4)Can FII float the capital by this bill to indian farms if so how much percent and what about the usage of their technologically advanced BT seeds.
5)In the job market which course will open the huge job opportunity for the future like GATT opened the opportunity for engineers.
6)Which state will create the more friendly ecosystem for this bill and its sponsors like South state except kerala created a more industrial friendly ecosystem as a result of GATT.
7)Which number will be more by this agreement losers or winner

Rest in peace

Very informative article sir.Thank you so much

Excellently detail described worth reading and tu know gud and bad of the agriculture policy writer is well nkown news analist write more

Very detailed description of the merits and demerits if the 3 bills passed in both houses. The fear of millions of small farmers in this proposal are genuine as the intention behind is favourable to corporates. Thanks to Philip for his effort and time for the detailed study and presentation

I have asked our Patel, who has farming in his 30 acre land in Gujarat how this bill will benefit him.
He gets free irrigation for his farm from Narmada, which is piped from the 30 kilometres away river.

He once told me that in such a middleman controlled market he had to bury all harvesting lemons in his farm.

Waiting for Patel’s reply......

Sir, I kindly request you to justify how the pure Kannada regions of mudigere, koppa, sringeri and saksleshapura belong to tulunadu ???..Non of the above mentioned tulu royal daynasties have roled these areas and even these areas doesnot have any historical background of tulu speaking community.As I know Only the maigrant tuluvas stay in these areas.

Ur article is nice but mudigere tq rchickmaglur dist was ruled by Hoysala dynasty.u may know that Hoysala dynasty was first formed in the place known as Angadi which is still in Mudigere. Here we puerly speak kannada not tulu.some from Dk only speak Tulu.

Sakleshpura , Sringeri ,Koppa ,Mudigere are not considered as the part of tulunaadu , they are the part of malenaadu

Very informative article sir.Thank you so much

Heartfelt condolences to all family members, may his soul rest in peace

Nice article... It will definitely help people to realise that you cannot plan life with one skill. It will make them aware of other potential skills they have and help them to tap into it... Very motivating... Keep up the good work

Drip irrigation is a must to conserve the depleting water table.

One of my north Malabar protege who lost his job in Qatar and returned on first VBM flight is shy to give his suggestion here. But, he sent me two videos of the fish farm he has raised on the ancestral property. Like his father is a very hard-working person and will succeed in the new venture.

Very well narrated.Hope people read and get some insight and the entrepreneural mind gets a kick.

Nice article. Doing farming is better option and it is really good but we have to personally involved in this field. Other than this dairy farmIng is also a better option

Nice read, use for and an eye opener for many.

Very encouraging and positive approach to face and overcome the challenges of present situation. If there is a will, there is a way. Let us hope for the best to all to survive from covid and unemployment

Great ideas. To this I would add food processing, packaging to and branding. With surplus agri produce whuch need mit go wasted.

One of my friend who is running cattle farm told me that the cost of one cow with good yield rise above 1.5 lakh due to the reverse diaspora from gulf....most of the people are .trying their luck in this farm....

Very informative, motivational, article published at appropriate time

Thanks to Philip Mudartha for his timely and enlightening article.

A very good collection, now resting at the right place. May it be successful in reaching the goals set for the transfer.

Happy Monthi fest to all

It was a indeed a happy moment to all of our parishioners as these two festal masses are offered after a very long time due to the current pandemic situation. Our parish priests made everything possible to celebrate these masses with proper social distancing formula and all the parishioners are well cooperated with their individual responsibilities. Thank you all who are involved to make the Mother Marys Novena and todays festal masses more devotionally with all required safety measures. May the blessed virgin mother Mary bless us all.

Happy Teachers Day

Great analysis Philip. Awating the next installment.

Great information with excellent data support. Hard to find it anywhere. Thank you for the effort and may God bless you.

Thank you KCWA, Kuwait airways and Government of India

I contacted John to verify the details of his gift. He clarified that the artefacts will move to the old home within the premises of St. Anthony Orphanage Jeppu. Kudos, John.
When BV published Dr. Eugene s story on Budget House Museum, I visited him as promised 8 years ago. He came out ot be a kind hoft, a down to earth person, with whom anyone can make lifelong friendship. I stay in regular touch with him ever since. I wish him all the best, especially good health. And look forward to meet him in Nerul or Budget Home, after the lockdown restrictions end.

Its a high time we should plan for fitness and sports facilities inside the lions bhavana.

I had the good fortune to meet Mr. Lobo through a Muslim gentleman who wanted to clarify a point of law. As he made us wait in his cabin, he dealt with a few clients whose matters did not take long. There we saw him refusing to file a case as his client s grievance was unjustified. That simply proved that he was a not out to make money at the cost of his clients.
Not only that, he was not charging for advice he would give in many personal matters, in spite of being asked about his fee. He was most concerned with the deteriorating conditions of courts and the judiciary and the way corruption has invaded in most of the fields in our nation and how the common man is suffering.
Truly secular by nature, he was fond of Hindi film music with special love for singer Hemant Kumar.
His untimely death was quite shocking. He shall never be forgotten by people he met even once.
Having dealt with many advocate of varying caliber in my 40 years in Mumbai, three gentlemen advocates have stood out, the late Mr. Nadir S Mulla, the doyen among advocates, Mr. K Narayanan and Mr. Lobo. They have been the most knowledgeable, honest and sincere advocates one can ever meet.
May His Soul Rest In Peace !

Vanamosthava is a great concept, I have participated during my primary and secondary school days in 1970s and 1980s. If the programme is genuine and followed up, we should have forests all around DK and udupi districts, there should have been huge forests or green belt, which we don t see. When vanamosthava day comes, schools, religious leaders and politicians plant trees, no one looks at them until next years vanamosthava. In today s world, it is more for social media pics. Basically we are fooling ourselves. The deforestation is so rampant, I cannot imagine, on the other hand vanamanostava another exercise with out any changes on the ground for last 50 years, at least I know off.

Heartfelt condolences to all family members. May her soul rest in peace.

Thanks for your interest and pains to write the article...waiting to read more from you

May the departed soul rest in peace, Here we promise that Old Students Association of St. Lawrence High School, Moodubelle will continue to fulfill the dreams of Wilfred Menezes to spread need of education and nourish our school continuously...

I met Wilfred only once long ago but never knew we were related till now.

After going through his 45 mins interview along with his wife with Daijiworld, we were really upset with this sad news.

Its really unfortunate that many of his dreams must have got shattered as he was just 51 years old.

May the almighty give adequate strength to his wife children and relatives to continue with his good work in the years to come.

Still unbelievable wilffy dhattu is no more with us . Polite person even Reena Bhai really good in heart.
