Let us discuss the role of fertilizer related policies of Government of India in changing the socioeconomic status of rural communities in the country.
Bijay Singh The implementation of fertilizer-related policies in rural communities in India and many other countries has yielded both positive and negative outcomes. On one hand, the enhanced availability and accessibility of fertilizers have significantly boosted agricultural productivity, resulting in increased crop yields and income for farmers. This has played a crucial role in uplifting rural communities by providing them with a sustainable source of income and elevating their overall socio-economic status.
However, the excessive use of chemical fertilizers has triggered environmental degradation, health concerns, and financial burdens for small-scale farmers, thereby worsening socio-economic disparities. Moreover, the escalating costs of fertilizers have presented financial obstacles for small-scale farmers, further widening the socio-economic gaps within rural communities.
Fertilizer related policy ash larger role to playin rural economy. It determines the accessibility, affordability, quality and equitable distribution of the fertilizer. As well as it determines the balanced fertilization as well as customized nutrient availability for the particular area which determines the crop yield and their sustainability in the longer term.
