In a statement here today, the Karshaka Congress general secretary, K.G. Ravi, said the Department of Agriculture needed an urgent revamp since under the current set-up farmers stood to benefit nothing from the department. The recommendations of the report submitted by the Dr. M.S. Swaminathan Committee on the problems faced by the farmers in the wake of the globalisation aspects should be implemented after due consultations with the representatives of the farmers, Mr. Ravi said. Plantation workers were in dire straits as coffee and tea estate owners had discarded the factories and plantations. These workers were starving and yet the Government was maintaining a blind eye to their problems. The Karshaka Congress had demanded that these estates be brought under the cooperative sector and operations resumed. The statement was issued after the State executive committee meeting of the Karshaka Congress which was addressed by the KPCC president, K. Muraleedharan, and the KPCC general secretary, Joseph Vazhakkal. The meeting was presided over by the Karshaka Congress acting president, Alexander Zacharia.
