Abstract: most of the major policy measures promised by this government to the Indian farmers have not seen the light of the day. No social security measures have been taken for farmers above the age of 60 or for other marginal and vulnerable farmers and landless labour. Many categories of farmers such as tenant farmers, sharecroppers, landless cultivators, women farmers and adivasi farmers continue to be excluded from all support systems and programmes like bank credit, crop procurement, crop insurance and various subsidies. There is no initiative towards National Land Use Policy to regulate acquisition of fertile land.
