Hisar: Speakathon Club under the mentorship of training and placement cell of Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology organised an online debate on the new farm laws under its monthly virtual speakathon programme. Thirty-three students participated. Those in favour of the motion argued that the new laws would lead to a second green revolution and farmers would have a choice to sell their produce to anyone and anywhere without being solely dependent on APMC. While the students against the motion highlighted that these laws would lead to corporatisation of agriculture and the market, along with monsoon, would become an unpredictable determinant of farmers’ destiny. They said farmers would be at the mercy of big corporations and if MSP was abolished, farmers would be nowhere.
