                    [Summary] => The Union government’s Seed Bill in India has run into rough road, with farmers and non-government organizations (NGOs) describing it as "anti-farmers."


Instead of the bill — which they have asked to be withdrawn right away — they are urging the immediate ratification  of the Plant Varieties Protection and Farmers’ Right (PVP&FR) Act 2001, as this law they claimed "genuinely protects the interests of the farmers."


On account of crop failure, they also demanded the framing of a law under which farmers would get compensation.
