“If we want food security tomorrow, we must give dignity to farmers today.”
— R. R. Pandayan Saheb
In the fields of India, an old crisis is growing louder — the next generation doesn’t want to farm.
Why?
Because there is no respect.
No support.
No future.
Young people in villages are leaving their ancestral land behind.
Farming is no longer seen as a livelihood — it has become a punishment for the poor.
But R. R. Pandayan Saheb is standing up with a bold and clear message:
“We don’t need imported food. We need inspired farmers.”
And for that, he has laid out a three-step vision to revive agriculture, restore dignity, and bring the youth back to the soil.
✅ Land for Youth: Build the Desire to Farm Again
“Land is not just a resource. For the poor, it is dignity. It is security. It is power.”
— R. R. Pandayan Saheb
R. R. Pandayan Saheb strongly believes that the first step to bringing youth back into agriculture is providing them with land — either through ownership, lease, or cooperative models.
He proposes:
- Reserved plots of cultivable land for landless rural youth
- Community farming spaces with training and tool support
- Incentives for families that allow young members to pursue modern farming
“If a youth gets land, he gets identity. If he gets identity, he builds his future.”
This, Saheb says, is the only way to rekindle the desire to farm in our villages.
✅ Reignite Interest: Make Farming the Pride of the New Generation
Today’s youth sees farming as loss-making and outdated.
Saheb wants to completely change this narrative.
“We must build a generation that sees farming not as failure, but as freedom.”
— R. R. Pandayan Saheb
His vision includes:
- Massive awareness campaigns to make modern, tech-driven agriculture aspirational
- School-level “Agri Clubs” to teach students basics of farming
- Short-term courses on organic farming, market linkage, seed quality, and smart irrigation
He believes farming should be taught with the same pride as engineering.
This is how we build not just farmers — but Farm Leaders.
✅ Agriculture Officers Who Work Like Warriors
Just as there are active, on-ground officers in revenue, police, and health departments — Saheb demands the same for agriculture.
“We need real officers, not desk-bound babus. Officers who walk into the fields, not just AC offices.”
— R. R. Pandayan Saheb
His demands to the government:
- Appoint dedicated Ground-Level Agriculture Officers in every taluka and block
- Officers must visit farms weekly, provide guidance, verify crop loss, and ensure schemes reach the real farmers
- Each officer’s performance should be based on real field work, not paper reports
This, Saheb believes, will end the fear and isolation farmers feel — and rebuild trust in the system.
🗣️ A Direct Message to the Government
R. R. Pandayan Saheb has openly challenged the government and said:
“You cannot talk about doubling farmer income if you are not willing to double the respect farmers receive.”
He demands:
- A special Farm Youth Empowerment Budget
- Ground-level surveys on why youth are leaving farming
- State-level agricultural task forces led by Bahujan and rural experts
- Financial schemes for youth-led organic or community farming projects
“This is not just about land. It’s about self-respect.
It’s not about farming. It’s about freedom.
And this is not just my demand — it’s the demand of the soil itself.”
— R. R. Pandayan Saheb
