MSP: Supreme Court seeks govt response on PIL for implementation of MSP recommendations
The Supreme Court has requested a response from the government regarding a PIL urging the implementation of the M.S. Swaminathan-led National Commission on Farmers' recommendations. These recommendations propose that the minimum support price (MSP) for farmers should be at least 50% more than the weighted average cost of production. The petition also calls for negotiations under the World Trade Organization or Free Trade Agreements, considering the impact on Indian farmers' livelihoods.
