Abstract

Agriculture is the backbone of Indian Economy and important way for the survival of Farmers, while near about 70% persons is surviving with the agriculture activities. The income from the agriculture is not enough for survival and a number of farmers are bound to suicide in a number of regions in the country. Less income as well as traditional ways and techniques along with the less support from Government are responsible for this situation of farmers. One of the major problem is also connected with same issue that the farmers are not having proper means of disposing off the residues from crops. The legislature have enacted general laws for the protection of environment and these laws are also known sectorial laws also. The effect of these laws are common for all kind of acts prohibited under environmental laws. Hence the farmers are under the purview of these laws and punishments, even getting nothing as reward or monitory benefits while practicing burning of crop residue.
