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.

03:53Now, it is being said that to install a sugarcane unit,

03:55you will have to give 50% money to the government.

03:57The amount required is 20 lakh rupee and we have to pay 10 lakh rupee

04:01And, it is not possible to pay 10 lakh rupee.

04:03For this, we have always

04:05worked along the path.

04:07I spoke to the representatives of the department,

04:09I spoke to K M King,

04:11I spoke with the head of the departments,

04:13I spoke with the Government Workers of Bihar,

04:15I spoke to the Minister of sugarcane,

04:17that we may install a sugarcane unit here,

04:19and the farmers,

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 me, how to harvest sugarcane?

05:42What has happened here?

05:44Before, we could not understand anything.

05:46Earlier, people used to come here,

05:48and work.

05:50Now, they have removed everything.

05:52Our farmland has been taken away.

05:55Now, we can't harvest sugarcane.

05:57We have to harvest sugarcane.

05:59If we get benefits from sugarcane,

06:01we will get opportunities.

06:03We will get training.

06:05We will go there.

06:07If we get benefits, we will get benefits.

06:09If we don't get any benefits,

06:11then what will we do?

06:13People come here to harvest sugarcane.

06:15They get money.

06:17They get opportunities.

06:19We don't get anything.

06:21We don't get anything.

06:23We don't get anything.

06:25If we harvest anything,

06:27we do it for our own benefit.

06:29If we sell it or do something,

06:31we will get benefits.

06:33It will increase.

06:35That's why we do it.

06:37Vijay Agarwal told us

06:39about his idea

06:41of harvesting sugarcane.

06:43We used to earn

06:45and eat.

06:47We harvested sugarcane

06:49in one place.

06:51Many farmers did it together.

06:53We got benefits

06:55from it.

06:57Vijay Agarwal

06:59came to us

07:01from Patna.

07:03Earlier, we didn't

07:05harvest sugarcane.

07:07We used to do it earlier.

07:09But now, it is difficult

07:11to make sugarcane juice.

07:13We are not able to do it.

07:15We stopped harvesting sugarcane.

07:17But when we came to Patna,

07:193-4 officers came.

07:21They told us that we can

07:23harvest sugarcane.

07:25They told us that

07:27we harvested sugarcane

07:29in more than 20 acres.

07:31Now,

07:33the sugarcane is drying up.

07:35We don't know about the machine.

07:37Vijay Agarwal told us

07:39that we take the responsibility.

07:41We will get you the machine.

07:43You will get facilities.

07:45But nothing has happened yet.

07:47The people here said

07:49that they are increasing agriculture.

07:51But the government should also

07:53take some steps forward.

07:55For ATV Bharat, I am Sartaj Ahmed from Gaya.
