Today, most of the farmers are moving to urban areas from rural areas for work, Because of so many reasons. They may be weather is not supporting for agriculture or for their children’s education.
However, it is not good sign to our society. Due to shifting of agrarians from villages to cities causes agrarian crisis after some days. Again, it will leads to economic crisis of nation. This is not good for prosperous healthy and wealthy world. And also, population will increases in towns. Moreover, employment is very big issue. Providing jobs to everyone is not possible. So, most of the families will not get food even two times daily. Because of that, unemployed people will divert into wrong side to do wrong things for money. Due to that, crime rate will increases in cities.
So, government has to take the actions to stop the ranchers to move from villages and also encourage them by providing bank loans without interest. In cultivation, if they’ll get profit they’ll repay the amount. Otherwise, in any case, if they lost their yield, regime has to cancel the amount how much they were taken for agribusiness irrespective of amount. By giving original seeds to get a good crop and pesticides to control the insects to the farmers, they will get good results in farming. And administration has to provide free education and accommodation facilities to their children.
In conclusion, in my point of view, entire nation is depends on farming. So, we have to protect our noblemen by providing good facilities to them and their families. This is not only management work. This is the responsibility of all public those who are living in nation.
