The Supreme Court-appointed five-member committee is likely to submit its first report on boosting farm income, which also includes the minimum support price (MSP) for cultivators, by the end of this month.
Alok KN Mishra

PATIALA: The Supreme Court, in September 2024, formed the committee headed by former Punjab and Haryana high court judge Nawab Singh to address various farmers' demands.

The exact contents of the report are not known yet, but over the past few weeks, the committee has met various stakeholders, including directors of agriculture and horticulture departments of Punjab and Haryana, and the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP).

An official privy to the development said that the committee has also invited members of Niti Aayog before finalising its report. In November this year, the committee submitted a list of issues that it will look into all the farm issues and examine the profitability of the farm sector through the mechanism of assuring remunerative prices, including inter alia minimum support price (MSP), direct income support and other viable approaches. HT has a copy of the documents submitted before the court. "The committee will also examine the demand of the farmers for providing legal sanctity to MSP," reads one of the preliminary issues submitted by the committee to the apex court.
