But looks like this is one of arrogance, greed, and a sense of ethnic superiority.
The problem with today's youth which I am a part of is that they get their facts from instagram stories or posts which are nothing but a representation of the respective person's opinions so strongly presented in the name of facts. What needs to be done is actually going deep into the matter understand all sides of the story and then comment about it. People love or hate on things because it is done by a certain party. Its very important to stay neutral and understand the whole matter.
Excellent interview. Kudos. Thanks to Print for this interview with AMUL MD Dr Sodhi. Farmers historically since Independence have not been getting their due share. Disparity between rural and urban India is 1:5. Farm laws are good for farmers. Unfortunately Govt is unable to communicate properly the benefits to farmers. Economy has to run on demand, supply forces. India is self sufficient in food except in edible oils and pulses. It is therefore crucial to diversify crops. MSP is good and can be used for production of edible oilseeds and pulses effectively instead of rice and wheat and sugarcane. With 6 0% of India's water being used for these crops, rice, wheat, sugarcane, how farmers will benefit? Urban consumers want cheap food, implies farmers producing food, their incomes will not increase. India''s GDP should increase by 7% but not farmers' incomes ! Why do they want cheap food, because they want industrial wages to be low. If food prices increase, industrial wages will have to increase. Therefore we are subsidizing Indian industry at the cost of food prices. Therefore we need to encourage farmers to produce crops with remunerative prices. Make the farmers invest where growth rate is higher such as livestock, milk, where growth is 14 percent, while farmers are still in crops where growth is 3% or lower. Livestock implies protein and fat. Invest more in livestock, pulses, oilseeds, horticulture. We need to make Punjab farmers do this. In any State budget, spending on Animal husbandry is hardly 7%, since conventionally fertilizer subsidy, power subsidy take up the share, while animal husbandry gets a raw deal. Dairy is a livelihood for 100 ml rural families in India. The GoI is encouraging local production with its import duties upto 35% and should continue this support. No country has been able to survive their agriculture without protection. EU is giving subsidy in the name of 'storage incentive scheme'. Canada is importing import duty upto 200%. Most countries are imposing import duties on Milk. Methane emission or env quality comes only after livelihood needs are met. Ultimately demand supply forces will rule the market. Farmers preferring buffalow to cows. Earlier 80% buffalow milk and 20% cows milk. Currently buffalow milk is 60%, cows milk is 40%. Buffalow milk is more nutritious than cows milk, more calcium, more sweeter, more SNF. Also price of buffalow milk is 50% higher than cows milk. Sale of buffalow milk is increasing 3 to 5 percent higher than cows milk. Media is also doing business based on TRP, reflecting mandi problems. Empowering farmers is important and Govt has realized it. A2 milk started from New Zealand. A1, A2 are basically two types of protein. There is no scientific evidence to say whether A1, or A2 milk is better. Largely in India we are getting A2 milk, because all Buffalow milk is A2 milk. Indian low cow milk is also A2 milk. Except cross bred cows milk in India, entire milk is A2 milk. Therefore in India 90% of milk is A2 milk. There is neither health nor nutrition benefit due to the difference between A1, A2.
“Industry will exploit farmers”. Completely agreed agriculture reforms are needed. But, farmers fear exploitation and gov’t really isn’t being able to explain the benefits for farmers and the trust deficit is so high that gov’t should implement MSP as mentioned in the interview as well. But, MSP should be for multiple crops and by MSP I think he means even if private players buy the crops farmers should not suffer because of that. Agricultural reforms are needed, but gov’t needs to find a win-win situation with farmers.
@@gurbircharya2090 farmers are not against privatization, they want written law for MSP. They are asking for repealing because the sector being affected the most was not even the part of discussion about these laws. The trust deficit is just too high between gov’t and farmers.
I seriously think MSP has led to environmental problems. Not even these protesting farmers can deny how this overproduction of paddy has depleted water resources in the region.
As an agri student when we did village stay in our course in odisha , the main headache of every farmer was market n corruption in mandis . And as much we read Punjab water table is lowest bcoz of cultivating water intensive rice. They need to shift to other crops. They fertilizer req is 4times higher than Odisha . We need export oriented production, quality n grading should be focused too. Our highest import are oil , when we have climate to grow this but all of India needs to produce rice n wheat. If even u visit FCI , u ll see how much is waste n low quality unexportable rice govt is collecting. Most funny part of my village training was some don't want advance tech , they ll just throw utea bcoz it makes field look greener n never follow soil test reports. People have a mindset of not to change. INDIAN Agriculture is in doldrums.

Mr.Sodhis emphasis on dairy industry is understandable,from a farmers perspective sir ,what to do with male calves, unproductive milch cattle ?They are on roads causing accidents.. gaushalas..They can't handle all,as long as we have emotional and business things together,milk cos.keep growing..Not the dairy Farmer
Mr.Sodhi in the end, gave the real and correct answer. When the kid is adamant, then the parent (even though very angry) gives in to the kid. At least for the time being. I really liked his theory of the parent and child. I hope, in this reform/protests, the parent quickly gives in to the kid, at least for now.
There is a clear cut disconnect between government and the public. A bunch blindly supporting and a bunch blindly opposing. The voice of reason seems to have no place now. This law should have been passed only after discussing with representatives of farmers. Then it would have been less chaotic. There are ways such bills and policies should be implemented.
Mr. Shekhar Gupta... Suggest displaying name of person interviewed for duration... Also show running text of what is being said in tall, large yellow color fonts ..it helps seniors watching your programs...they have poor eye sights, hearing problems .. Keep up the good work of discussion on current problems etc in India...
This is the most relevant, simplified and honest conversation. Highly educational for the masses who are busy forming their uneducated opinions on either side.
Unfortunately, our spineless government is backing down! Then Land laws now farm laws. NDA should study about Narsimha Rao. May be they will learn how to spell the word courage.
So please tell me the solution then? You can't call the govt insensitive for not helping farmers while they protest in the cold and at the same time hate them if they do away with the bills to stop the protests. Just tell what do you want and what you think the govt should have done? Please don't talk shit about not to bring farm laws.. Please stay in the present and provide what solution you would have presented.

@@krishnakamal7795 My solution is not to back down. And, to convince the farmers at the delhi border. In worst case, if Punjab and Haryana farmers don't want these progressive reforms, repeal for them. Why should rest of India farmers, particularly, farmers of South should be denied of their right to sell their produce freely. This truly proves how spineless this Government is. Just because a bunch of farm groups started protesting they are shivering as if they got malaria. Remember, Vajpayee, remember Narsimha Rao, remember their commitment, remember their courage, remember their leadership!
@@mukunda4021 This year is full of elections and most of our voters are uneducated chutiyas, so opposition would use these propaganda protests to influence all the uneducated villagers,then what bjp could have done here??
But the farmers of Punjab are the richest. They, Punjab ( first in wheat production) only receiving 70% of the MACP, whereas farmers of UP is getting around 10%, the farmers of Bengal ( first in rice production) get only 7% of MACP. Moreover each farmer of Punjab receive highest subsidy ( on an average 1.4 lakh per year on various items) in India. There is no Income Tax on agriculture also. It all indicates farmers of Punjab are the richest.Still they are agitating whereas poor farmers of other parts of India are ready to welcome the new farm laws. What an irony!
Who is criticizing farms law, please tell us how unnatural demand and chain supply will sustain, How our agriculture will diversify? They are saying the industry will benefit from this, yes they will, but also the farmers and We have too much farmer and less land. How can you increase the salary of a farmer?
You need to increase production and include more technology in farming. If 50 people are today producing something out of a land, they will remain poor, if its replaced by 2 people with technology they can have a good income. All other 48 can do more productive job.

People have to hear both sides of the story and form opinions! This is such a good insight with facts. Our generation believes in meme pages and troll the govt blindly! Stop hating on everything and have a practical approach.
If you agree with Amul learn about its history as well. It is a co-operative organization whose idea was suggested by Sardar Patel to fight the privatization and monopoly over milk by the company called Polson. Farmers protested against Polson having power over milk prices and not paying enough to them. When farmers went to Sarda Patel, he suggested them to stop selling milk to Polson and to start their own co-operative firm. Thus Amul was born. It is sad to see people praising Amul but going against farmer protest.
If you listen carefully,and objectively,the interview has several contradictions.On the one hand,it says that reforms are good.But starting from 3.40 Mr.R.S Sodhi says that once industry steps in,they are going to exploit farmers.This is the same apprehension that the farmers have. Also the Amul model is basically a cooperative model,and not a corporate model....corporates are nowhere in the picture in the Amul model ,unlike in the farm laws,where it is a corporate model that is being envisaged,if not overtly,at least covertly to replace the mandis...to give one example ...the changes in the Essential Commodities Act,allowing storage facilities,which only a corporate with deep pockets can afford,and not the unorganised farm sector. . Also,applying the Amul model to the farm laws is like comparing chalk to cheese... There are many more contradictions like the USA heavily subsidising its farmers...MSP is also a subsidy that farmers are demanding,in cases where the market price does not match the cost of production.
मोदीजी को भारत की जनता इसलिए प्यार नहीं करती की वो बीजेपीका या आरएसएसका है या फिर एक प्रभावशाली नेता है, उन पे तो लोग सिर्फ इसलिए मरते है की वो सबसे पहले एक सच्चा देशभक्त है और उनकी देशभक्ति पे तो कोई विरोधी को भी शक नहीं हो सकता
What could be the reason behind increase in urban income as compared to rural income? It is lack of adaptability to change. Why Amul is flourishing? It is their vision. They foresee the market trends, bring value added products, market it in professional manner. Over the years they are ruling milk products market. Why similar things can't be experimented with other agri products? It is because of vested interests. Ambani Adani's names have become like a 'gali'. It is because people say what they are being told to say. There is one diversified company having leadership status in cigarettes, hotel, paper and packaging business with solid footprint in agri business. There presence in agri business for over 25 years suggest the that apprehension of losing land to corporates in corporate farming is absolutely unfounded.
I am impressed by sardar ji. He knows his numbers on his finger tip. Awesome work Print. U have very intelligent reporting and super intelligent guests. My whole family loves ur channel.

Great points raised by this gentleman. First time I have been able to understand some of the farmers concerns that should be addressed. He definitely knows what he is talking about.
So many people telling Shekhar sir to stop bidding for mr. modi.. all of you are happy when he criticizes him ryt.. this shows the problem with the current political situation in India.. a person is either always wrong or always right... or always for or always against.. like u cant be reasonable to think about things before forming an opinion... u are for some party or against...a person in this case..
Bahut Badhiya !! Relating industrial greed to farmer poverty is coming out of lack of corporate social responsibility and understanding and incentivisation for crop rotation .
Do you mean to say Amul is exploiting farmers? MSP will ofcourse governed by demand-supply proposition. If the farming process hasn't seen any significant or innovative changes for ages and if the quality of agri produce has seen any significant rise; why should I pay more when quality is not guaranteed to me. Why these foreign funded kisan unions not doing their own research or invest those cannadda dollars on modern farming education,tools.techniques instead of free langars, massage parlours,pizza centres etc. If these unions have might to challenge democratically elected Govt.and eventually the Democracy why they always look at Govt.with begging bowls. If Govt. will decide farming patterns depending on weather pattern, soil conditions,and demand-supply pattern you are not going to accept that; if Govt brings in reforms to dissuade traditional farming patterns harming soil conditions,water tables etc.you're not going to accept that; then only way you'll go is die your own death earlier than you expect.
Msp is not based on demand-supply. It is calculated based on the costs incurred to the farmers (overall) while growing the crop. That’s why it should not be made a law because it opposes the concept of free market
It's true Justice still needed to be done for our Kisan. They should not be taken for granted. They are the backbone of the country whether you like it or not. Just go to your kitchen and look at the vegetables you are going to cook. Thank the farmers.
This whole debate around farm laws is superficial and doesn't address the core problem which is inefficient farming due to small holdings, absence of mechanization and technology and heavily indebted farmer families. The only reform in this sector will be to consolidate lands thru cooperative farming or corporate farming where the farmers retain ownership of lands, earn income from lease of farms and by working on farms or downstream cold storages or processing units set up by cooperatives or corporates. Higher yields per hectare, value addition thru downstream units and better negotiating power for producers vis-a-vis buyers will provide better returns to producers including farmers. The present laws still pitch poor farmers with no negotiating power against large buyers, public or private, and they will be exploited as Mr. Sodhi suggests. This cannot double farmer incomes which is what the PM has promised.
Atleast it was some beginning for better. Even gst had problems but now is giving our highest ever tax collection. Not even passing or putting it on hold. Just destorys the whole view govt tries to create of being corporate friendly. Only talks no courage to act.
@jose varkey problem with msp is also there. I don't think wheat or paddy grown in two different areas would have the same quality or value. By fixing the prices it would either force the buyer to pay extra or prevent others from buying, that is it goes unsold, ultimately hurting the farmer. That is why msp system I feel is not a good one.. Instead there should a demand and supply price.. Imo that's higher price msp for required crops and lower price for surplus.. And for that to happen msp has to be decided at regular intervals.. Maybe a year or so.. But please don't fix the msp price.. It only lead to more problems. And for grievances I completely agree with you. Also I feel a separate institution for agricultural markets is a step I feel could be done. This will allow the institution to focus and prioritise the cases while also reducing the burden of out already overburdened courts. Hopefully a good solution comes out.
Watched this and S S Johal's interviews 3 times each. Both are so good that such imbibing this knowledge and learning the facts needs repetitive watch. Print should be proud.
Now I will appreciate Shekhar Gupta despite being his staunch critics, RS Sodhi is the best man & prototype how the white revolution is benefitting on ground-being part of their network I can say they're the best in world, we get the best prices of product. I wish farming sector sees big companies like AMUL making it a worldwide case study
Why not bring in people who oppose it and have a healthy discussion. we know sekhar Ji is for the farm laws lets have a debate instead of bringing yes man.
Mr Sodhi hit every nail on the head 👍. If only Mr Kurien was unhindered to establish more Amuls in other crop sectors, the country, the consumers and the farmers would have been better off. We would have been a very rich country.
Looks like in states of punjab and haryana, there is great "teamwork" happening between traders, farmers and state governments. So the Center should roll out the present AGRO REFORMS but allow the various State Legislative assemblies to give a thumbs up or thumbs down to it. Punjab and Haryana and some parts of UP want to continue the current STATUS QUO and their State Legislatures will deliver that to them. In ALL other States of India, the AGRO REFORMS have been very well received especially those who know what is there in these AGRO REFORMS.
I agree with Mr. Sodhi. And do feel that reforms are required so that farmers are not poor anymore. The political party are misrepresenting and want to keep the farmer poor and the middleman should prosper...
A protege of the great Varghese Kurien, Sodhi Sahab is a legend of Indian dairy and he has been spearheading India’s enormous growth in milk production and export. Amul is the prude of India. The taste of India 😬
An eye opener discussion for those playing with the sincere government. Even after suspending the laws for over a prolonged period, there's something foulplay either out our of ignorance or provoked and funded.
I think this interview is showing a solution to the Farmers agitation. The missing links in the Farm laws are Agriculture cooperatives for small farmers and cooperative aggregators like Amul. There's need for more than one aggregator.
Basic knowledge is missing that growth rate of Punjab is coming down and nation altogagther going up. First of land for cultivation is now exhausted for extensive cultivation. Intensive cultivation is done with more involvement. So, it is idiotic that Punjab growth rate is coming down.
The fact is modernisation of small farms is needed for improving agriculture economy. The method of participation of all stakeholders was necessary. This was not done by the Government pushing through the bill. Central laws should define objectives of agriculture modernisation, checks to prevent monopoly or exploitation. The laws for implementation details e.g. MSP etc should have been made by states and not Central law vecause one size doesn't fit all states.

The problem with today's youth which I am a part of is that they get their facts from instagram stories or posts which are nothing but a representation of the respective person's opinions so strongly presented in the name of facts. What needs to be done is actually going deep into the matter understand all sides of the story and then comment about it. People love or hate on things because it is done by a certain party. Its very important to stay neutral and understand the whole matter.

A very good and relevant conversation. Well rounded, takes into account both sides, and over all, gives the viewer the facts. Well done, Shekharji.
Excellent interview. Kudos. Thanks to Print for this interview with AMUL MD Dr Sodhi. Farmers historically since Independence have not been getting their due share. Disparity between rural and urban India is 1:5. Farm laws are good for farmers. Unfortunately Govt is unable to communicate properly the benefits to farmers. Economy has to run on demand, supply forces. India is self sufficient in food except in edible oils and pulses. It is therefore crucial to diversify crops. MSP is good and can be used for production of edible oilseeds and pulses effectively instead of rice and wheat and sugarcane. With 6 0% of India's water being used for these crops, rice, wheat, sugarcane, how farmers will benefit? Urban consumers want cheap food, implies farmers producing food, their incomes will not increase. India''s GDP should increase by 7% but not farmers' incomes ! Why do they want cheap food, because they want industrial wages to be low. If food prices increase, industrial wages will have to increase. Therefore we are subsidizing Indian industry at the cost of food prices. Therefore we need to encourage farmers to produce crops with remunerative prices. Make the farmers invest where growth rate is higher such as livestock, milk, where growth is 14 percent, while farmers are still in crops where growth is 3% or lower. Livestock implies protein and fat. Invest more in livestock, pulses, oilseeds, horticulture. We need to make Punjab farmers do this. In any State budget, spending on Animal husbandry is hardly 7%, since conventionally fertilizer subsidy, power subsidy take up the share, while animal husbandry gets a raw deal. Dairy is a livelihood for 100 ml rural families in India. The GoI is encouraging local production with its import duties upto 35% and should continue this support. No country has been able to survive their agriculture without protection. EU is giving subsidy in the name of 'storage incentive scheme'. Canada is importing import duty upto 200%. Most countries are imposing import duties on Milk. Methane emission or env quality comes only after livelihood needs are met. Ultimately demand supply forces will rule the market. Farmers preferring buffalow to cows. Earlier 80% buffalow milk and 20% cows milk. Currently buffalow milk is 60%, cows milk is 40%. Buffalow milk is more nutritious than cows milk, more calcium, more sweeter, more SNF. Also price of buffalow milk is 50% higher than cows milk. Sale of buffalow milk is increasing 3 to 5 percent higher than cows milk. Media is also doing business based on TRP, reflecting mandi problems. Empowering farmers is important and Govt has realized it. A2 milk started from New Zealand. A1, A2 are basically two types of protein. There is no scientific evidence to say whether A1, or A2 milk is better. Largely in India we are getting A2 milk, because all Buffalow milk is A2 milk. Indian low cow milk is also A2 milk. Except cross bred cows milk in India, entire milk is A2 milk. Therefore in India 90% of milk is A2 milk. There is neither health nor nutrition benefit due to the difference between A1, A2.
Thanks for writing this
thanks a lot
“Industry will exploit farmers”. Completely agreed agriculture reforms are needed. But, farmers fear exploitation and gov’t really isn’t being able to explain the benefits for farmers and the trust deficit is so high that gov’t should implement MSP as mentioned in the interview as well. But, MSP should be for multiple crops and by MSP I think he means even if private players buy the crops farmers should not suffer because of that. Agricultural reforms are needed, but gov’t needs to find a win-win situation with farmers.
It's become politicised brother.
@@amritpalsingh3293 agreed Bro politics parties are just trying to use it for their own personal gains now.
We have to start from scratch..before these reforms farmers were dying..these reforms should be given a chance
@@gurbircharya2090 farmers are not against privatization, they want written law for MSP. They are asking for repealing because the sector being affected the most was not even the part of discussion about these laws. The trust deficit is just too high between gov’t and farmers.
I seriously think MSP has led to environmental problems. Not even these protesting farmers can deny how this overproduction of paddy has depleted water resources in the region.
Amul is a cooperative society, all the member farmers of amul have a good income, this person has a weight in his words.
Very good interview. Please keep getting industry experts.

As an agri student when we did village stay in our course in odisha , the main headache of every farmer was market n corruption in mandis .
And as much we read Punjab water table is lowest bcoz of cultivating water intensive rice. They need to shift to other crops. They fertilizer req is 4times higher than Odisha .
We need export oriented production, quality n grading should be focused too.
Our highest import are oil , when we have climate to grow this but all of India needs to produce rice n wheat.
If even u visit FCI , u ll see how much is waste n low quality unexportable rice govt is collecting.
Most funny part of my village training was some don't want advance tech , they ll just throw utea bcoz it makes field look greener n never follow soil test reports. People have a mindset of not to change.
INDIAN Agriculture is in doldrums.
When the corporates pay, the corporates get served !
@Jaya Kumar Right so now TATA is also crony capitalism. In a way everyone who opposes your view is an idiot. Isn't it? Every startup in India is bad then.. Go ahead protest in roads to ban startups.

It is allowing one to see how farmers involved in dairy have benefitted from corporates like Amul
Shekhar sir won heart completely today.
A most fantastic video full of information hope and despair.
SG tries his best to stay neutral. I like the fact that the man has changed and doesn’t showcase his own personal bias as much. A changed man, please continue showing both sides of the spectrum.
Agreed 👍
He tries to present the facts unlike the other left channels who present lies to make ppl hate the govt . But then the best thing , he is clear he is on left side of spectrum. So ppl of the right are all aware and dont search for biases becoz we know.
@@aryamasingh3676 - I agree! The past two elections have surely changed some career media professionals into finding more creative ways to look neutral on the cameras.
I hope more media people on the left can atleast act neutral while exercising their personal choice to whatever they believe in.
Maza aa gaya. One of the most interesting brainstorming I've seen in a period of couple of years. Thanks SG for providing some interesting insights among all the nuance out there on TV.
Mr.Sodhis emphasis on dairy industry is understandable,from a farmers perspective sir ,what to do with male calves, unproductive milch cattle ?They are on roads causing accidents.. gaushalas..They can't handle all,as long as we have emotional and business things together,milk cos.keep growing..Not the dairy Farmer
Mr.Sodhi in the end, gave the real and correct answer. When the kid is adamant, then the parent (even though very angry) gives in to the kid. At least for the time being. I really liked his theory of the parent and child. I hope, in this reform/protests, the parent quickly gives in to the kid, at least for now.
Parent already gave to kid stay for 2 years but kid is still angry afterall kid is brainwashed by political friend
When Sardarjee says media is business,our S.G lowers his head and smiles. Keep it up.
The emotions have overcome reason and scientific evidence
I liked how he took the farm reform discussion to multiple tangents. But it was heavily informative.
There is a clear cut disconnect between government and the public. A bunch blindly supporting and a bunch blindly opposing. The voice of reason seems to have no place now. This law should have been passed only after discussing with representatives of farmers. Then it would have been less chaotic. There are ways such bills and policies should be implemented.
Mr.Sodhi is extremely knowledgeble.. nice interview.. very articulate and to the point.. country needs more industry leaders like him.
Mr. Shekhar Gupta...

This is the most relevant, simplified and honest conversation. Highly educational for the masses who are busy forming their uneducated opinions on either side.
Unfortunately, our spineless government is backing down!
Then Land laws now farm laws. NDA should study about Narsimha Rao. May be they will learn how to spell the word courage.
So please tell me the solution then? You can't call the govt insensitive for not helping farmers while they protest in the cold and at the same time hate them if they do away with the bills to stop the protests. Just tell what do you want and what you think the govt should have done?
Please don't talk shit about not to bring farm laws.. Please stay in the present and provide what solution you would have presented.
@@rakadus at the current stage removing free electricity will only lead to more protests. Incentives towards pulses is good. Also putting punjab and haryana out of the implementation of 3 laws.. How that can be done and how doing that will lead to stability is still not guaranteed.

@@krishnakamal7795 My solution is not to back down. And, to convince the farmers at the delhi border. In worst case, if Punjab and Haryana farmers don't want these progressive reforms, repeal for them. Why should rest of India farmers, particularly, farmers of South should be denied of their right to sell their produce freely.
This truly proves how spineless this Government is. Just because a bunch of farm groups started protesting they are shivering as if they got malaria. Remember, Vajpayee, remember Narsimha Rao, remember their commitment, remember their courage, remember their leadership!
@@mukunda4021 This year is full of elections and most of our voters are uneducated chutiyas, so opposition would use these propaganda protests to influence all the uneducated villagers,then what bjp could have done here??
But the farmers of Punjab are the richest. They, Punjab ( first in wheat production) only receiving 70% of the MACP, whereas farmers of UP is getting around 10%, the farmers of Bengal ( first in rice production) get only 7% of MACP. Moreover each farmer of Punjab receive highest subsidy ( on an average 1.4 lakh per year on various items) in India. There is no Income Tax on agriculture also. It all indicates farmers of Punjab are the richest.Still they are agitating whereas poor farmers of other parts of India are ready to welcome the new farm laws. What an irony!
Who is criticizing farms law, please tell us how unnatural demand and chain supply will sustain, How our agriculture will diversify? They are saying the industry will benefit from this, yes they will, but also the farmers and We have too much farmer and less land. How can you increase the salary of a farmer?
If ur employer throws you out ..to increase the salary of other employe..will u say...wat a good move..
You need to increase production and include more technology in farming. If 50 people are today producing something out of a land, they will remain poor, if its replaced by 2 people with technology they can have a good income. All other 48 can do more productive job.

Exactly
Real knowledgeable people interviewed; real issues of importance discussed - hats’off to Shekhar Gupta for Off the cuff !!
Informative video. Loved it.
He destroyed marketing gimmicks like Thanos' snap😂😂
If you agree with Amul learn about its history as well. It is a co-operative organization whose idea was suggested by Sardar Patel to fight the privatization and monopoly over milk by the company called Polson. Farmers protested against Polson having power over milk prices and not paying enough to them. When farmers went to Sarda Patel, he suggested them to stop selling milk to Polson and to start their own co-operative firm. Thus Amul was born.
It is sad to see people praising Amul but going against farmer protest.
If you listen carefully,and objectively,the interview has several contradictions.On the one hand,it says that reforms are good.But starting from 3.40 Mr.R.S Sodhi says that once industry steps in,they are going to exploit farmers.This is the same apprehension that the farmers have.
Also the Amul model is basically a cooperative model,and not a corporate model....corporates are nowhere in the picture in the Amul model ,unlike in the farm laws,where it is a corporate model that is being envisaged,if not overtly,at least covertly to replace the mandis...to give one example ...the changes in the Essential Commodities Act,allowing storage facilities,which only a corporate with deep pockets can afford,and not the unorganised farm sector. .
Also,applying the Amul model to the farm laws is like comparing chalk to cheese...
There are many more contradictions like the USA heavily subsidising its farmers...MSP is also a subsidy that farmers are demanding,in cases where the market price does not match the cost of production.
Msp going to exist...govt said clearly. Still punjab farmers are adamant
Amul model is also flawed. They can't even compete with New Zealand and Australia in the dairy products sector, which resulted in backing out of RCEP.
मोदीजी को भारत की जनता इसलिए प्यार नहीं करती की वो बीजेपीका या आरएसएसका है या फिर एक प्रभावशाली नेता है, उन पे तो लोग सिर्फ इसलिए मरते है की वो सबसे पहले एक सच्चा देशभक्त है और उनकी देशभक्ति पे तो कोई विरोधी को भी शक नहीं हो सकता
Very good explanation by R.S.Sodhi. I felt Shekhar Gupta was having a hard time staying awake.
What could be the reason behind increase in urban income as compared to rural income? It is lack of adaptability to change. Why Amul is flourishing? It is their vision. They foresee the market trends, bring value added products, market it in professional manner. Over the years they are ruling milk products market. Why similar things can't be experimented with other agri products? It is because of vested interests. Ambani Adani's names have become like a 'gali'. It is because people say what they are being told to say. There is one diversified company having leadership status in cigarettes, hotel, paper and packaging business with solid footprint in agri business. There presence in agri business for over 25 years suggest the that apprehension of losing land to corporates in corporate farming is absolutely unfounded.
I am impressed by sardar ji. He knows his numbers on his finger tip.
Awesome work Print. U have very intelligent reporting and super intelligent guests.

I have enormous respect for SG for unpopular but honest news! This kind of news has to be paid for!!!
I have started using A2 Milk from Fresco no other grocerie stores have it for now.
i have noticed that whether right wing are conservative about their faith, but right wing are more data-centric, logical and practical than left wing. When left wing speak, they always has some narrative based on some emotion or sentiment or prejudices and to prove it, they cherry-pick the fact. BUT as I am a right leaning person, i am not ashamed to admit that these are just my observation and can be wrong.
Oh man so precise.

Dr MD needs to lower speed and volume both. Thanks,Shekhar.
Great points raised by this gentleman. First time I have been able to understand some of the farmers concerns that should be addressed. He definitely knows what he is talking about.
Well, this was a very informative and fun watch.
His English is funny, but his words are very wise and meaningful.
So many people telling Shekhar sir to stop bidding for mr. modi.. all of you are happy when he criticizes him ryt.. this shows the problem with the current political situation in India.. a person is either always wrong or always right... or always for or always against.. like u cant be reasonable to think about things before forming an opinion... u are for some party or against...a person in this case..
Sodhi saab is very knowledgeable and incisive with his analysis. This is the difference between a hands on expert and a studio expert.
Dr Sodhi looks like a very happy person.....his leadership has led amul to compete and beat international players
Bahut Badhiya !! Relating industrial greed to farmer poverty is coming out of lack of corporate social responsibility and understanding and incentivisation for crop rotation .
I like it. Debate on how India goes richer faster !! Have been waiting 70 years for this.
Sodhi sir is honest to his words.He is brilliant in analysis.Thank you sekar sir for your good interview.
Do you mean to say Amul is exploiting farmers? MSP will ofcourse governed by demand-supply proposition.
If the farming process hasn't seen any significant or innovative changes for ages and if the quality of agri produce has seen any significant rise; why should I pay more when quality is not guaranteed to me. Why these foreign funded kisan unions not doing their own research or invest those cannadda dollars on modern farming education,tools.techniques instead of free langars, massage parlours,pizza centres etc. If these unions have might to challenge democratically elected Govt.and eventually the Democracy why they always look at Govt.with begging bowls.
If Govt. will decide farming patterns depending on weather pattern, soil conditions,and demand-supply pattern you are not going to accept that; if Govt brings in reforms to dissuade traditional farming patterns harming soil conditions,water tables etc.you're not going to accept that; then only way you'll go is die your own death earlier than you expect.
Msp is not based on demand-supply. It is calculated based on the costs incurred to the farmers (overall) while growing the crop. That’s why it should not be made a law because it opposes the concept of free market
Sodhi sir itna point to point toh hum engineering exams mein bhi nhi likhte❤️Mazaa aa gya👍
Shekhar Ji scratching his head. He doesn’t have questions because Mr.Sodhi has said the hypocrisy
This an edited version. I have viewed the earlier one. Why?
These are highlights of the conversation. The full episode is still available on our platform.
It's true Justice still needed to be done for our Kisan. They should not be taken for granted. They are the backbone of the country whether you like it or not. Just go to your kitchen and look at the vegetables you are going to cook. Thank the farmers.
Interesting interview ... He has shown the real way to address the issue both for the nation and for the Farmers...
This whole debate around farm laws is superficial and doesn't address the core problem which is inefficient farming due to small holdings, absence of mechanization and technology and heavily indebted farmer families. The only reform in this sector will be to consolidate lands thru cooperative farming or corporate farming where the farmers retain ownership of lands, earn income from lease of farms and by working on farms or downstream cold storages or processing units set up by cooperatives or corporates. Higher yields per hectare, value addition thru downstream units and better negotiating power for producers vis-a-vis buyers will provide better returns to producers including farmers. The present laws still pitch poor farmers with no negotiating power against large buyers, public or private, and they will be exploited as Mr. Sodhi suggests. This cannot double farmer incomes which is what the PM has promised.
Atleast it was some beginning for better. Even gst had problems but now is giving our highest ever tax collection.
Not even passing or putting it on hold. Just destorys the whole view govt tries to create of being corporate friendly.
Only talks no courage to act.
Yes I agree. I could not believe the print kahan invite Sacha a baccha people on there channel
@@champisagooSFthey r not saccha baccha ok
@jose varkey problem with msp is also there. I don't think wheat or paddy grown in two different areas would have the same quality or value. By fixing the prices it would either force the buyer to pay extra or prevent others from buying, that is it goes unsold, ultimately hurting the farmer. That is why msp system I feel is not a good one.. Instead there should a demand and supply price.. Imo that's higher price msp for required crops and lower price for surplus.. And for that to happen msp has to be decided at regular intervals.. Maybe a year or so.. But please don't fix the msp price.. It only lead to more problems.
And for grievances I completely agree with you. Also I feel a separate institution for agricultural markets is a step I feel could be done. This will allow the institution to focus and prioritise the cases while also reducing the burden of out already overburdened courts.
Hopefully a good solution comes out.
Watched this and S S Johal's interviews 3 times each. Both are so good that such imbibing this knowledge and learning the facts needs repetitive watch. Print should be proud.
Now I will appreciate Shekhar Gupta despite being his staunch critics, RS Sodhi is the best man & prototype how the white revolution is benefitting on ground-being part of their network I can say they're the best in world, we get the best prices of product. I wish farming sector sees big companies like AMUL making it a worldwide case study
Why not bring in people who oppose it and have a healthy discussion. we know sekhar Ji is for the farm laws lets have a debate instead of bringing yes man.
Mr Sodhi hit every nail on the head 👍. If only Mr Kurien was unhindered to establish more Amuls in other crop sectors, the country, the consumers and the farmers would have been better off. We would have been a very rich country.
Looks like in states of punjab and haryana, there is great "teamwork" happening between traders, farmers and state governments. So the Center should roll out the present AGRO REFORMS but allow the various State Legislative assemblies to give a thumbs up or thumbs down to it. Punjab and Haryana and some parts of UP want to continue the current STATUS QUO and their State Legislatures will deliver that to them. In ALL other States of India, the AGRO REFORMS have been very well received especially those who know what is there in these AGRO REFORMS.
Extremely simplified tête-à-tête
Thanks Shekhar ji 😇
But, you should have fully supported. They are merely moved by sectarian or seperatist hatred. They are not fighting for anything related to farming.
Because he is scared that sikh will hate on him that why he is again and again saying intention of govt is good but 🙄.
Very informative and interesting !! So much more to learn about Agriculture and Animal Husbandry. Thank you Mr Sodhi!!
Respect to sodhi sir ... nicely explained 🙏
I agree with Mr. Sodhi. And do feel that reforms are required so that farmers are not poor anymore. The political party are misrepresenting and want to keep the farmer poor and the middleman should prosper...
A protege of the great Varghese Kurien, Sodhi Sahab is a legend of Indian dairy and he has been spearheading India’s enormous growth in milk production and export. Amul is the prude of India. The taste of India 😬
An eye opener discussion for those playing with the sincere government. Even after suspending the laws for over a prolonged period, there's something foulplay either out our of ignorance or provoked and funded.
From when is Sodhi the MD of Amul?
I think this interview is showing a solution to the Farmers agitation. The missing links in the Farm laws are Agriculture cooperatives for small farmers and cooperative aggregators like Amul. There's need for more than one aggregator.
Basic knowledge is missing that growth rate of Punjab is coming down and nation altogagther going up. First of land for cultivation is now exhausted for extensive cultivation. Intensive cultivation is done with more involvement. So, it is idiotic that Punjab growth rate is coming down.
Excellent. 👌👍
Brilliant
The fact is modernisation of small farms is needed for improving agriculture economy.
The method of participation of all stakeholders was necessary. This was not done by the Government pushing through the bill.
Central laws should define objectives of agriculture modernisation, checks to prevent monopoly or exploitation. The laws for implementation details e.g. MSP etc should have been made by states and not Central law vecause one size doesn't fit all states.
Hello sir, as Amul is working growing so fast in milk processing, is there any plan of exporting processed milk product also?
I will let you know abt it next month.
Awesome interview with a very knowledgeable business head , great understanding and made things easy to understand, Thank you Mr Sodhi
