00:00In the past five years, due to heavy rains and adverse weather conditions like floods,
00:07due to government restrictions in the rice harvest,
00:10the state has reduced the yield and production of rice.
00:13In this crisis, from the name Namodu in the Farmers' Service Centre,
00:16farmers are faced with difficulties step by step until they reach the mill.
00:20There is a dire situation to be faced for rice production.
00:24In Kharif, those who have to produce up to 40 lakh acres,
00:28the yield has fallen to 33 lakhs and 50,000 acres.
00:31If compared to 2019-2020, in 2023-2024,
00:35the yield of 18 lakh tons of rice has reduced.
00:38The farmers who say that they are producing rice in a desperate manner,
00:41say that they have never seen such a situation in the previous government.
00:45Even if the authorities expect that the situation will change this year,
00:48there is no hope that the situation will change.
00:51When the problem arises, without following the proper decisions,
00:54they take measures based on the current situation.
00:57Every restriction that the authorities bring,
01:00the farmers are forced to face,
01:02but they are not able to solve the farmers' problems.
01:18The Chief Minister, Chandrababu,
01:20has instructed the authorities not to repeat the problems
01:23faced by the previous government.
01:25He has asked the authorities to simplify the distribution of rice.
01:28He has asked the authorities not to deposit the rice in the farmers' accounts
01:31within 48 hours.
01:32The government, which has given the order,
01:34is distributing the rice within 24 hours.
01:36But the distribution of rice has not changed.
01:38The farmers are being harassed in the name of rice.
01:40In Krishna district, the farmers are bearing the expenses of the rice.
01:44Still, we have to wait for days.
01:47They are saying that the yield of rice is more than 17.
01:50They are reducing the weight to 5 kgs per basket
01:53They are increasing the price of alcohol.
01:55In some places, the price of alcohol is less than Rs.200 per basket.
01:59The technical assistants of the farmers' service centres
02:02are giving more importance to the farmers' rights than the farmers' rights.
02:17In the past, the farmers' association,
02:19the district marketing society,
02:21and the purchase centres were set up.
02:23The farmers used to sell the rice directly there.
02:26Since the millers were there, they used to purchase the rice by looking at it.
02:30The government used to take the rice to the mill from there.
02:33They used to deposit the money immediately.
02:35In order to collect the rice,
02:37a large book was created in the name of the power surfers in the previous government.
02:40Because of these restrictions, the farmers are facing a lot of problems.
02:43In the end, what the millers have said is right.
02:45What they have put is going to waste.
02:47The same situation continues for the past five years.
02:50The government is trying to solve all these problems
02:52and implement the simple policies of the country before 2019.
02:55This is what the farmers want.
