Chapter 4 of the Agricultural Council Act iis the most dangerous. It can now negate any of the agri-clinics that are set-up by NGOs and civil society organizations, barefoot collages by practising farmers too can be negated or worse still made to queue up every year to renew 'license', the most dehumanizing and easy way to destroy all enterprise and initiative.
This Act intends to make knowledge of agriculture as an exclusive vocation and regulates the practice of the knowledge of agriculture, it needs to be protested and removed completely. Selvam and his friends have written to the CM yesterday, but, much more needs to be done. - Ram
