A Meeting/Debate was organized under the auspices of 'Kashtakar Development Committee', Kotabagh in regard to the New Farm Laws. There is currently widespread farmer protest happening against the three reforms — Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act. 'Suhanubhav Foundation' informed the farmers about the relevance of the three contentious Agriculture Bills that were earlier passed by the Parliament.

The government has said these reforms will accelerate growth in the sector through private sector investment in building infrastructure and supply chains for farm produce in national and global markets. They are intended to help small farmers who don’t have the means to either bargain for their produce to get a better price or invest in technology to improve the productivity of farms. The bill on the Agri market seeks to allow farmers to sell their produce outside APMC 'mandis' to whoever they want. Farmers will get better prices through competition and cost-cutting on transportation. However, this Bill could mean states will lose 'commissions' and 'mandi fees'.The legislation on contract farming will allow farmers to enter into a contract with agri-business firms or large retailers on pre-agreed prices of their produce. The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill, 2020, seeks to remove commodities like cereals, pulses, oilseeds, edible oils, onion,s and potatoes from the list of essential commodities. This will end the imposition of stock-holding limits except under extraordinary circumstances. The Supreme Court has put on hold the implementation of the three farm laws that are at the center of farmers' protests. The top court also formed a committee of experts to help in resolving the impasse.

Various sectors including political representatives, economic/agriculture, and social experts participated in the seminar.
