00:00We are now in the area of Biraj, which is a very affected area by Naxalites.

00:05It is in the Sohail Thana area.

00:07Earlier, this area used to be farmed by Afeem, but now this area is being identified by the sugarcane juice.

00:15Although, the farmers who had put their hopes on the sugarcane department are not getting the benefits,

00:20but the farmers here have adopted sugarcane farming as their main source of income.

00:25We had a meeting with the farmers of this area, and they said that if we work with the sugarcane department, we will get some benefits.

00:40We had prepared a formula for this, but the government has not given us any notice yet.

00:47We used to farm sugarcane a long time ago, but we were about to get trapped in that farming,

00:54but the government has stopped us from doing so, saying that this is wrong, and that we should farm sugarcane, and we will get benefits from it.

01:03Earlier, we were affected by the fact that we were trapped in some way, so who is going to look after us?

01:10We have stopped farming sugarcane in this area, and we have been farming sugarcane for the past 5-6 years.

01:17We have not been given any notice yet, and no unit has been set up here.

01:20If the government pays attention to this, then you can get some benefits.

01:23We will focus on farming sugarcane in this area.

01:26This area has already been identified by the sugarcane department.

01:30You know about it, the government knows about it, everyone knows about it.

01:34Due to the fact that this area is identified by the sugarcane department, there were many sources of illegal farming and illegal work.

01:39At the same time, there was a sugarcane farmer as well.

01:42As soon as the sugarcane farming started here, some people started doing it.

01:47So, we encouraged them a lot.

01:51We turned towards sugarcane instead of doing sugarcane farming.

01:55We said that sugarcane farming should be done.

01:57And today, it is present in front of you, that sugarcane farming is almost 100 acres in Rakhwamere.

02:03So, what kind of support are you getting from the sugarcane farming department?

02:07What do you expect?

02:08When we formed a farmer's group for sugarcane farming here,

02:1120 people sat together and we discussed that we should not do illegal farming.

02:17And if we are doing illegal farming, then the name of the village and the society should not be ruined.

02:22The name of the village should be bright.

02:23We thought about sugarcane.

02:25In this context, we also talked to the sugarcane development department.

02:28We had a meeting here a couple of times.

02:30They said that they will install a sugarcane unit here.

02:32The sugarcane will be sold at a high price and it will be convenient for you to make sugarcane.

02:36But the sugarcane development department has not installed anything so far.

02:39There are a lot of people from the SCSC community who come here.

02:44And we have met all the people in the farmer's group.

02:47So, we came up with a plan that we will install a unit here.

02:50But we have not been able to install a unit so far.

02:51Some people who used to grow sugarcane here, they also had a case.

02:57What are they doing today?

02:58There is a man named Yogesh who lives half a kilometre away from here.

03:03He is quite old.

03:05He is from Kerala.

03:06He is in his final year of graduation.

03:08He has been charged with an offence.

03:11He has also come out of jail.

03:13Today, he is also growing sugarcane in two acres.

03:15Of course, he will come back.

03:17Today, there is a record.

03:19Yesterday, there was a lot of sugarcane.

03:21Next year, there will be a record.

03:23There is a report from the Forest Department that there is a lot of sugarcane growing in this village.

03:25There is a lot of sugarcane growing in this village.

03:27There is a lot of sugarcane growing in this village.

03:29The result is that people are coming towards sugarcane.

03:31A sugarcane unit will be installed here.

03:33Because in Bihar, in this area,

03:35there is no sugar mill in this area from Gaya.

03:37The main use is of sugarcane.

03:39So, by installing a sugarcane unit here,

03:41a unit will be installed as a means of making sugarcane.

03:43A unit will be installed as a means of making sugarcane.

03:45By the government.

03:47Now, it is being said here that

03:49to install a sugarcane unit,

03:51you will have to give 50% money to the government.

03:53The government has a 20 lakhs worth settlement.

03:55Instead, you will have to pay us 10 lakhs.

03:57For this, we haveiredly

03:59everly

04:01near and far.

04:05Mr. Mahendra Pratap Singh has이

04:07resigned his post.

04:09I had talked to the commissioner for sugarcane and

04:13to the town government officials.

04:15He asked me to install a sugarcane unit here.

04:19People who had simply lost their jobs because

04:21One person has even been jailed in their farmland.

04:25His name is Jogesh Huia, he comes from the SCSC community.

04:29He has been jailed.

04:31Whether he does it or not, he has already been jailed.

04:34They have already filed an FIR.

04:36His life has been ruined.

04:38He is an educated boy, his life has been ruined.

04:40I think he must be between 30-35 kgs.

04:42He is 25 kgs.

04:44If he is not given neat and clean,

04:47then his farmland will be ruined.

04:51We have made a lot of efforts.

04:53According to this effort,

04:55in today's date,

04:57in today's date, in this panchayat,

04:59in these 2-3 villages,

05:01in about 70-80 acres,

05:03we already have sugarcane farmland.

05:05And how to re-expand it,

05:09for this we are worried and eager.

05:11See, there is a small machine there.

05:15Now, we are not able to understand

05:17how we are going to harvest so much sugarcane from it.

05:19The sugarcane is in a state of drying up.

05:21If we had a bigger unit at this time,

05:24then we would have saved 3-4 labours

05:27to make sugarcane from one big unit.

05:33If we make sugarcane from a small unit,

05:36then it takes 4 extra labours.

05:38It takes a lot of hard work.

05:40Now, tell us, how are you going to harvest?

05:42What has happened to this place?

05:44Before, we had not understood anything.

05:46Before, people were coming here to work.

05:50Now, they have removed everything.

05:53Our farmland has been cut down.

05:55We have not been able to harvest.

05:57We have been forced to do this.

05:59We have been forced to do this,

06:01because we are getting benefits from this.

06:03We are getting opportunities.

06:05We have been given training.

06:07We have been told that if we get benefits,

06:09then we will get nothing.

06:11What benefits have you been told?

06:13We have been told that if we get sugarcane,

06:15then we will get money,

06:17and we will get a good harvest.

06:19We have been told that if we get sugarcane,

06:21then we will get a good harvest.

06:23If we harvest anything,

06:25then we do it for our own benefit.

06:27If we sell it or do something,

06:29then we will get benefits.

06:31It will increase.

06:33That is why we do it.

06:35Where did you get the idea to do sugarcane?

06:37The idea to do sugarcane,

06:39Vijay Agarwal,

06:41Vijay Agarwal,

06:43Vijay Agarwal,

06:45we have been told that we used to earn

06:47and we used to get benefits,

06:49and at one place, we harvested sugarcane.

06:51And there were many farmers there.

06:53And we have been told that if we do it,

06:55we will get benefits from it.

06:57Vijay Agarwal was from Patna.

06:59Vijay Agarwal was from Patna.

07:01Vijay Agarwal was from Patna.

07:03He brought it to us.

07:05We used to grow sugarcane a long time ago, but then there was a lot of trouble to get the juice out of the sugarcane.

07:12We were struggling to make sugarcane syrup.

07:15We stopped growing sugarcane, but when we brought some partners and officers,

07:21they told us to grow sugarcane.

07:24According to them, we have grown sugarcane in more than 20 acres.

07:29We have grown sugarcane in 4 acres.

07:32But now the sugarcane is drying up.

07:34We don't know about the machine.

07:36Vijay Agarwal had informed us that we are responsible for this.

07:39We will get the machine delivered to you from somewhere.

07:42You will get facilities.

07:44But nothing like this has happened yet.

07:46The people here said that they are now encouraging this type of farming.

07:50But the government will have to take a few steps forward.
