He has shifted to Delhi few years back as he couldn’t make any living out of agriculture. Now slowly & steadily he is alternating between driving a cab and farming back home. He says, he is getting the confidence to return to farming for the first time for the following reasons
1.The inputs costs on agriculture has gone down - fertiliser and seed costs are drastically down, soil health cards are available, an govt insurance cover in case his crops fail, INR 6000 that is being paid to all of the small farmers like him directly to their accounts etc.

Punjab has about 10 Lakh farm families (All India 15 crores). State govt gives them an electricity subsidy of about Rs 8000 crore. Center gives them a fertilizer subsidy of Rs 5,000 crore. That is Rs 13000 crores or about Rs 1.3 Lakhs per household.

Punjab & Haryana sell almost entire production to the government. This year, even Andhra, Telangana and Chhattisgarh have sold more.
