The government s reforms in labour and agriculture may cause misapprehensions in initial stages but they were pending for long, said President Ram Nath Kovind on Monday in a speech before Republic Day when farmers plan to drive tractors into Delhi to protest against three laws liberalising India’s agriculture markets. Kovind, in a customary speech televised nationwide, spoke about India’s national security, coronavirus vaccines and national development. The President’s major speeches are approved by the government, which uses them to convey its policies. Economic reforms have continued apace and have been supplemented by long-pending reforms in the areas of labour and agriculture through legislation. The path to reform at the initial stages may cause misapprehensions. However, it is beyond doubt that the Government remains singularly devoted to farmers’ welfare,” he said, seemingly referring to protests against the agriculture laws enacted in September.
