In India, there are several government acts and policies that aim to support farmers and agriculture. Some key acts and policies include:

1. The Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020: This act, commonly known as the Farm Acts, aims to provide farmers with greater freedom in selling their agricultural produce. It allows farmers to sell their produce outside the traditional Agricultural Produce Market Committees (APMCs) and enables them to engage in electronic trading and contract farming.
2. The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020: This act amends the Essential Commodities Act, 1955, and aims to deregulate the production, storage, movement, and distribution of certain essential commodities. It helps in attracting private investment in agriculture, reducing price volatility, and ensuring better price realization for farmers.
3. Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN): This scheme, launched in 2019, provides income support to small and marginal farmers. Under this scheme, eligible farmers receive direct income support of Rs. 6,000 per year in three equal installments. The aim is to provide financial assistance to farmers and improve their income and livelihoods.
4. National Agricultural Insurance Scheme (NAIS): This scheme provides insurance coverage and financial support to farmers in the event of crop failures or damage caused by natural calamities. It aims to safeguard farmers from the risks associated with agriculture and provides them with a safety net.
5. Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA): Although not specifically targeted at farmers, MGNREGA guarantees 100 days of wage employment in a financial year to rural households. This provides an additional source of income for farmers during lean agricultural seasons and helps in reducing rural distress.
6. Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY): This centrally sponsored scheme aims to provide financial assistance to states for implementing various agricultural development programs. It focuses on enhancing productivity, promoting sustainable agriculture practices, and supporting infrastructure development in the agricultural sector.
7. Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY): This scheme provides crop insurance coverage to farmers against crop losses due to natural calamities, pests, and diseases. It helps farmers manage risks associated with agricultural production and ensures financial stability.

These are some of the key acts and policies implemented by the Indian government to support farmers. The government continually works on formulating and implementing various schemes and initiatives to improve the income, livelihoods, and overall well-being of farmers across the country.
