It is known that farmers have been protesting in the national capital demanding that the Centre totally repeal the three farm laws.

On the contrary, the Centre has assured farmers that the new farm laws would benefit them as they would get better income by dealing with large firms instead of wholesale markets monitored by the government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe the farm bills do have the potential to represent a significant step forward for agricultural reforms in India.
