• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move- THAT Clause 43 be amended in subclause (2) by inserting the words “and the Senate” immediately after the words “the National Assembly”. The rationale behind this is that when you talk about Parliament, it comprises the Senate and the National Assembly. Agriculture being a devolved function, the role of the Senate cannot be overlooked. view
• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move- THAT the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 59. Mr. Chairman, Sir, the rationale behind this is that the farmers will be responsible for planning their own affairs. Therefore, there is no point of having the growers’ association. view

• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move- THAT clause 60 of the Bill be amended in subclause (2) by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (k) - (ka) the procedure for election of farmers and millers’ representatives to the Board and the pricing committee. Mr. Chairman, Sir, the rationale behind this is that the regulations governing the appointment of the board members are regulated in the Bill. Therefore, it needs to be put in such a way that the operationalization will be without any hiccups. Thank you. view

• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move that the Bill be amended by inserting the following New Clause 19A immediately after Clause 19- 19A.

• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, we are well guided. However, I also want to put it this way. We know that most of the times, we operationalize laws by creating regulations. We created a board in this particular Bill because we need to bring some sanity. We know that if we leave it to people to decide what they want to do, there will be abuse.
