ಅನ್ನಭಾಗ್ಯ ಯೋಜನೆಯಡಿ ಐದು ಕೆ.ಜಿ. ಅಕ್ಕಿಗೆ ನೇರ ನಗದು ಸೌಲಭ್ಯ ಕಲ್ಪಿಸುವುದನ್ನು ಕೂಡಲೇ ಕೈಬಿಡಬೇಕು. ಇಲ್ಲವಾದಲ್ಲಿ ಡಿಬಿಟಿ ಮೊತ್ತಕ್ಕೆ ನಮಗೆ ಕಮೀಷನ್ ಭಾಗ್ಯ ಕೋಡಿ ಎಂದು ಆಗ್ರಹಿಸಿ ಅಕ್ಟೋಬರ್ 19 ರಂದು ನ್ಯಾಯ ಬೆಲೆ ಅಂಗಡಿಗಳನ್ನು ಒಂದು ದಿನದ ಸಾಂಕೇತಕವಾಗಿ ಬಂದ್ ಮಾಡಲು `ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪಡಿತರ ವಿತರಕರ ಸಂಘ ನಿರ್ಧರಿಸಿದೆ.
ಐದು ಕೆ.ಜಿ. ಅಕ್ಕಿ ಬದಲಿಗೆ ನಗದು ಸೌಲಭ್ಯ ಕಲ್ಪಿಸುತ್ತಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ನಮಗೆ ದೊರೆಯಬೇಕಾದ ಕಮೀಷನ್ ಹಣದಿಂದ ವಂಚಿತರಾಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇವೆ.
ಹೊಸ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಅಧಿಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದು ಆರನೇ ತಿಂಗಳಿಗೆ ಕಾಲಿಟ್ಟಿದ್ದು, ನಗದು ಬದಲು ಹತ್ತು ಕೆ.ಜಿ. ಅಕ್ಕಿ ನೀಡುವಂತೆ ಹಲವು ಬಾರಿ ಮನವಿ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದು, ನಮಗೆ ಅಹವಾಲಿಗೆ ಸ್ಪಂದನೆ ದೊರೆತಿಲ್ಲ. ಸೌಜನ್ಯಕ್ಕಾದರೂ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ನಮ್ಮ ಸಂಘಟನೆಗಳೊಂದಿಗೆ ಚರ್ಚಿಸಿಲ್ಲ. ಪಡಿತರ ವಿತರಕರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಕಾಳಜಿ ವಹಿಸದಿರುವುದು ತುಂಬಾ ನೋವು ತಂದಿದೆ ಎಂದು ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಸರ್ಕರಿ ಪಡಿತರ ವಿತರಕರ ಹಿತರಕ್ಷಣಾ ಸಂಘದ ವತಿಯಿಂದ ಜೆ.ಬಿ ಕುಮಾರ್ ಅಧ್ಯಕ್ಷರು ಪತ್ರಿಕಾ ಪ್ರಕಟಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ತಿಳಿಸಿದರು.
ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಸರ್ಕಾರ 2020ರಲ್ಲಿ ಕೃಷಿ ಕಾಯ್ದೆ ಜಾರಿಗೆ ತಂದಾಗ ನಮ್ಮ ಜೊತೆ ಸೇರಿ ವಿರೋಧಿಸಿದ ಇವರು ಈಗ ಯಾವುದೇ ಒಂದು ಗ್ಯಾರಂಟಿಗೆ ಕೂಡಿಸಿದ ಹಾಗೆ ಸಾವಿರ ಕೋಟಿ ಕೂಡಿಸ ಬೇಕಾಗಿಲ್ಲ (ಹಣದ ಖರ್ಚುಇಲ್ಲದೆ) ಜಾರಿಮಾಡಬಹುದಾದ ಕೆಲಸ ಇವರು ಮಾಡಿಲ್ಲ. ಇದು ಚುನಾವಣ ಪುಣಾಳಿಕೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕೂಡ ಹೇಳಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಇನ್ನೂ ಕೃಷಿಕಾಯ್ಕೆ ವಾಪಸ್ ಪಡೆದಿಲ್ಲ.
MSPಗೆ ಸಂಬಂಧಪಟ್ಟಂತೆ ನೀತಿರೂಪಿಸಿ ಶಾಸನ ಬದ್ಧಗೊಳಿಸದಿದ್ದರೆ ರೈತರಿಗೆ ಉಳಿಗಾಲವಿಲ್ಲ.
ಉದಾ: ತೆಂಗಿನ ಕೊಬ್ಬರಿಗೆ MSP 11,750/- ರೂ ಇದೆ. ಸಿದ್ದರಾಮಯ್ಯ ಸರ್ಕಾರ 1,250/- ರೂ ಸಹಾಯ ಘೋಷಣೆ ಮಾಡಿದರು. ಈ ಸಹಾಯ ಹಣ ರಾಜ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು ಸಾವಿರ ರೈತರಿಗೆ ಮುಟ್ಟಿದಿದ್ದರು ಏಕೆ? ಹೇಗೆ? ಇದರ ಪುಯೋಜನ ತಲುಪದಿದ್ದರೆ ಏನೂ ಪುಯೋಜನ ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್ ಅಧಿಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಬರಲು ಮುಂಚೆ ಪಕ್ಷದ ಅಧ್ಯಕ್ಷ DK ಶಿವಕುಮಾರ್ ತಂಗುವುದೇಶದ ರೈತರಿಗೆ ಐದು ಗ್ಯಾರಂಟಿ ಜೊತೆಗೆ ರೈತರಿಗೆ 6ನೇ ಗ್ಯಾರಂಟಿ. ನಾವು ಅಧಿಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ತಕ್ಷಣ 15,000/- ಸಾವಿರಕ್ಕೆ ಖರೀದಿ ಪ್ರಾರಂಭಿಸುತ್ತೇವೆ ಎಂದು ಮಾತುಕೊಟ್ಟರು, ಉಪಯೋಗಕ್ಕೆ ಬರಲಿಲ್ಲ.
MSP (ಕನಿಷ್ಠ ಬೆಂಬಲ ಬೆಲೆ) ತೋರಿಕೆಗೆ ಮಾತ್ರವೇ ಏರಿತ್ತು.ಇದರಿಂದ ಏನು ಪ್ರಯೋಜನವಿಲ್ಲ.ಶ್ರೀ ಸಿದ್ದರಾಮಯ್ಯ ಕಳೆದ ಸರ್ಕಾರದಲ್ಲಿ 18,000/-ರೂಗೆ ಮಾರಿದ ರೈತರು ಈಗ 8,000/- ರೂ.ಗೆ ಮಾರಿದರೆ ಏನು ಲಾಭ ಸರ್ಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ MSP ಶಾಸನಬದ್ಧಗೊಳ್ಳದಿದ್ದರೆ ತೊರಿಕ ಕಾರ್ಯ ಕ್ರಮವಾಗಿ ಉಳಿಯುತ್ತದೆ.
ವಿದ್ಯುತ್, ಗಾಮೀಣ ವುದೇಶದ ವಿದ್ಯುತ್ ಕನಿಷದಲ್ಲಿ ಅನಿಷ್ಠವಾಗಿದ್ದ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಚುನಾವಣೆ ಪೂರ್ವದಲ್ಲಿ ಹಳ್ಳಿಗಳಿಗೆ ನಿರಂತರ ವಿದ್ಯುತ್ ಹಾಗೂ ಪಂಪ್ಸೆಟ್ಗೆ ನಿರಂತರ 8 ಗಂಟೆ ಕೊಡುವುದಾಗಿ ಘೋಷಣೆ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದೀರಿ ಜೊತೆಗೆ ಚುನಾವಣಾ ಪ್ರಣಾಳಿಕೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಆದರೆ 8 ಗಂಟೆ ವಿದ್ಯುತ್ ಕೊಡುವವರೆಗೆ ಹೋರಾಟ ಮುಂದುವರೆಯಲಿದೆ.
ಬರಗಾಲ ನಮ್ಮ ರೈತ ಕನ್ಮದಲ್ಲಿ ಇರುವಾಗ ಸಹಾಯಕ್ಕೆ ಬರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ, ಪೂರ್ಣ ಬರಿದಾದ ಮೇಲೆ ನೂರರಷ್ಟು ನಷ್ಟವಾಗಿದ್ದರೆ ಇವರು 25 ರೂ ಕೊಡುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಇವರು ಕೊಡೋದು ನಾಲ್ಕಣಿ ಅಂದ 25 ಪ್ರಸೆ ಅಷ್ಟೇ
ಇವರು 70ರ ದಶಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಇದ್ದ ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ವಿಪತ್ತು ನೀತಿ ನಿಯಮಗಳನ್ನು ಮಾತ್ರ ಮಾತನಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಈ ನೀತಿ ಬದಲು ಮಾಡದೇ ವೈಜ್ಞಾನಿಕ ಮಾನದಂಡ ಇಲ್ಲದೇ ಇರುವ ಈ ನೀತಿ ಕೈ ಬಿಟ್ಟು, 2023ರ ನೀತಿ ರೂಪಿಸಿ ವಿಪತ್ತು ಪರಿಹಾರ ಜಾರಿಗೆ ತನ್ನಿ, ಅದೇ ಕಾರ್ಪೋಟ ಕಂಪನಿಗೆ ಇವರೇ ಕರೆದು ಸಾವಿರ ಕೋಟಿ ಕೊಡಿಸಿ ಇವರೇ ಮನ್ನಾ ಕೂಡ ಮಾಡಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ.
ಸರಕಾರವು ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡ ತೀರ್ಮಾನದಂತೆ ಕೃಷಿ ಮಾರುಕಟ್ಟೆಗೆ ಸಂಬಂಧಿಸಿದಂತೆ ಅಲ್ಲಿಯ ವ್ಯಾಪಾರಿಗಳಿಗೆ ನೀಡಿದ ಪರವಾನಿಗೆಯನ್ನು ರದ್ದು ಪಡಿಸಲು ಸರ್ಕಾರ ನೋಟಿಸ್ ಜಾರಿ ಮಾಡಿರುವುದು ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಸಾಕ್ಷಿಯಾಗಿದೆ. ನೀವು ಕೃಷಿಕರನ್ನು ನಾಶಪಡಿಸುವ ಉದ್ದೇಶವೇ ಇದಾಗಿದೆ, ಎನ್ನುವುದರಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾವುದೇ ಅನುಮಾನವಿಲ್ಲ.ಈ ಸ್ಥಿತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ತಕ್ಷಣವೇ ಈ ಕಾಯ್ದೆಯನ್ನು ವಾಪಾಸ್ ಪಡೆಯುವ ತುರ್ತು ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡಬೇಕಾಗಿದೆ. ಇಲ್ಲವಾದಲ್ಲಿ ಈ ನಾಡಿನ ರೈತರು ಸರ್ಕಾರ ವಿರುದ್ಧ “ರೈತ ವಿರೋಧಿ ಸರ್ಕಾರ” ಎಂದು ಪುತಿಭಟನೆಗೆ ಕರೆ ನೀಡಲು ಸಂಘವು ತೀರ್ಮಾನಿಸಿದೆ ಎಂದು ಕೋಡಿಹಳ್ಳಿ ಚಂದ್ರಶೇಖರ್- ರಾಜ್ಯಾಧ್ಯಕ್ಷರು ಪ್ರೆಸ್ಸ್ ಕ್ಲಬ್ ಆಫ್ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದ ಪತ್ರಿಕಾ ಗೋಷ್ಥಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ತಿಳಿಸಿದರು.

press meet held at Press Club if Bangalore on belf of “Horatadaa Hakkigaagi Janandolana”
Since the previous regime passed the Licensing and Regulation of Protests, Demonstrations and Protest Marches (Bengaluru City) Order, 2021 in January 2022, it is illegal to protest anywhere but in the premises of Freedom Park. The order was enacted as a suo moto Kamataka High Court public interest litigation (PIL) launched in March 2021 soughta “unobstructed vehicular traffic”. Places like Vidhana Soudha and MG Road were marked as “restricted” through the same order. Even protests in Freedom park require to be intimated to the police from the organisers’ end where the police have the power to revoke or withhold the permission to protest. This development that came under the erstwhile BJP government still continues despite this new government being voted into power for being a force that upholds constitutional rights. For many months now, there have been consistent efforts by civil society activists to conduct a dialogue with the government requesting for the restrictive order to be revoked. All such entreaties have failed to evoke a positive response from the government so farOn 2nd October, many civil society organisations and activists who have formed the coalition called the ‘Horatadaa Hakkigaagi Janandolana’ came together at the Gandhi statue at Maurya circle to perform civil disobedience by taking out a rally till the Ambedkar statue at Vidhana Soudha in defiance of this anti-people order. Hundreds of protestors were manhandled and detained by the police as the rally was about to start, sending a shockwave across the city. Ash students it is particularly important to have the right to protest, otherwise taking the demands to Freedom Park will further invisibilise the aspirations of students since the state already has a ban on student unions. Students are not allowed to express themselves, resist or question on campuses. It becomes more difficult for expression of dissent inside and outside campus spaces as democratic spaces are being clamped down.

Guest of Honour, Mr. Arvind Vaishnav, Head of Philips Innovation Center, Bengaluru, said, “It’s crucial to remember that purpose is the compass that guides our endeavors. What we do and why we do it should ultimately benefit society. This is a principle I hold dear. In the dynamic world we inhabit, especially in the ever-evolving technology sector, the ability to adapt to change is paramount. Embrace change, for it is the cornerstone of progress. It may at times seem beyond our control, but it is how we respond that truly defines us. Lean into change, harness its potential, and continue to be the disruptors that you are. In the corporate world, things will be different. There will be managers, leaders, and teammates. It will be competitive, but it will also be a realm of boundless innovation. Embrace this new environment and let your core capabilities shine through. As we navigate our careers, let’s remember to strategize. Define our goals, allocate resources, and invest our time wisely. Just as corporations do, we too must chart a path forward. Continuous learning is not just a recommendation; it’s a necessity. Upskill, reinvent, and never stop seeking knowledge. Connect with your alma mater, stay linked with colleagues, and learn from each other’s experiences. Finally, let failures be our greatest teachers. Embrace them, learn from them, and use them as steppingstones to success. Your journey ahead will be a testament to your resilience.” During a virtual address, Mata Amritanandanmayi Devi, Chancellor, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, said, “Remember the story of the lazy youth turned successful model. Patience and discernment transformed a liability into an asset. Experience is the true guru. Use knowledge gained from experience alongside theoretical knowledge. As you step into the job market, let patience and sraddha guide you. Life presents various situations. When choice is yours, don’t simply defer to fate. Exercise discrimination and take action. But when choice is absent, accept it as divine will. To bear fruit, actions require the right time, self-effort, and God’s grace. Seek the source of the power driving intellect—it resides within. The truth of existence is undeniable. Good deeds attract grace, making our actions complete and meaningful.” Dr. Manoj P, Campus Director, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Bengaluru, said, “The education, dedication, and experiences you have gained at Amrita University have equipped the graduates with the tools and skills needed to make a meaningful impact in this ever-evolving landscape. Amrita University has always been more than just an institution of higher learning. It is a place that fosters intellectual curiosity, innovation, and, of course, social responsibility. Here, students have not only honed their academic abilities but have also embraced the values of integrity, empathy, and a deep sense of responsibility towards society. As Amma says: ‘You know all human beings are blessed with a head. What we do with our head can help either a few people or can help millions of people.’ I extend my best wishes to the students, and I hope they use their skills to improve the quality of life for people worldwide and address the pressing challenges of our time.” Swami Amritageetananda Puri, Head, Mata Amritanandanmayi Math, Bengaluru said, “Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham is dedicating one more batch of its qualified and worthy students to the world. On this auspicious occasion, I would like to congratulate all the students for their determination, hard work, and wonderful performance.
