Role as a Cabinet Minister<\/strong><\/h2>

Following his overwhelming win in the 2019 General Elections, he was sworn in as the Cabinet’s Minister of Home Affairs. In his capacity as Home Minister, he introduced the Abrogation of Article 370 and 35-A, a highly contested bill. For the Maximum Party’s support of the bill in the House, he went above and above. He was surprised, however, because a large number of opposition parties, with the exception of a few who left the House in protest, came out to support the bill. Additionally, he made sure that nothing bad happened in the valley. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he locked down the State and implemented strict security protocols. He was chastised, nevertheless, for usurping the freedom to demonstrate. Shah, in an event, said that Hindi should be promoted in the country and could be a source of unification. According to his Shah Website, he is a devout Hindu. <\/p>

He presented the Citizenship Amendment Bill to Parliament in 2019, which sparked nationwide protests. Persecuted Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jain, Parsis, and Christians who have immigrated illegally to India are eligible for citizenship under this bill. It offers Indian citizens living in these communities a simple means of getting around. In Muslim-majority nations where these populations are the minority, they face persecution. Due to the flood of refugees from Bangladesh and Myanmar during the conflict in 1971, their ethnic communities and culture are in danger of disappearing. This law mainly worried people in the northeast. It organized protests around the nation of India. But the administration hasn’t changed its stance. <\/p>

Even in the face of widespread opposition, they stayed steadfast and supported this legislation. The violent act was also reported in a few different locations of the nation. He also gave the Gandhi Family Z+ security cover with Advanced Liasion and removed S.P.G. protection from them. Critics point out that Amit Shah and Narendra Modi are the only two individuals in charge of the government. <\/p>

According to Amit Shah, India would be self-sufficient in pulses by December 2027.<\/strong><\/p>

Cooperation Minister Amit Shah declared on Thursday that the government is determined to have India self-sufficient in pulses by December 2027 and that the nation won’t import a single kilogram of pulses starting in January 2028.He made these comments during the launch of a tur dal procurement portal that allows farmers to register and sell their produce at a minimum support price or market price to the National Cooperative Consumers’ Federation of India (NCCF) and the National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India Ltd (Nafed). <\/p>

Two central nodal organizations, Nafed and NCCF, handle the government’s acquisition of pulses in order to keep a buffer supply under the Price Stabilization Fund (PSF). When the rates drop below the MSP, they also purchase pulses through the Price Support Scheme.<\/p>

“Grow pulses; don’t bother with costs. We’ll purchase from MSP. The nation should become self-sufficient in pulses by December 2027. Shah, who is also the Home Minister, declared during the event that starting in January 2028, not a single kilogram of pulses will be imported.
He said that by using the gateway for procurement, the program will significantly alter the agriculture industry and assist in achieving production of pulses that is self-sufficient. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi guarantees that tur will be sourced from farmers,” he stated, adding that a facility of a similar nature will be launched in the future for farmers who grow maize, urad, and masoor.<\/p>

“Farmers should support this project well. Under the prior method, procurement was done only if crop prices were below the MSP; however, under the new approach, agencies would also procure even if prices were higher than the MSP. In either case, farmers will profit. This will boost the income of pulse growers and is one of the nicest gifts they could receive. We will reach our zero import goal and be self-sufficient in pulses by 2027, according to Rahul Chauhan, an iGrain India commodity expert.
However, according to Suresh Agarwal of the All India Dal Mills Association, it is still unclear how advantageous it will be for farmers because selling to Nafed and NCCF entails a number of requirements and quality standards that many are unable to meet.<\/p>

Tur Dal Procurement Portal Launched by HM Amit Shah; NCCF, Nafed to Purchase<\/strong><\/p>

Amit Shah, the minister of cooperation, launched a tur dal procurement online on Thursday. Using this platform, farmers may register and sell their produce to NAFED and NCCF at a market price or a minimum support price.

Additionally, the minister gave approximately Rs 68 lakh to 25 farmers via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) as payment for selling tur through the platform.
In order to keep a buffer stock, the government contracts with cooperative National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India Ltd (NAFED) and National Cooperative Consumers’ Federation of India Limited (NCCF) to purchase pulses.
Following the launch, the Minister stated that farmers can register on the portal to sell their produce to NAFED and NCCF at the minimum support price (MSP) prior to the seeding operation.<\/p>

According to him, registered tur farmers will be able to sell to NAFED\/NCCF or the open market. If the open market price of tur stays greater than the MSP, a formula will be used to determine the average rate.
Shah went on to say that because pricing were uncertain, many farmers were choosing not to grow pulses. The program will help establish self-reliance in pulse production and bring about a significant reform in the agriculture sector through purchase through the portal.<\/p>

“Tur will be procured from farmers and it is Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s guarantee,” he stated.
With the exception of chana and moong, the Minister stated that the nation is still dependent on imports of various types of pulses. However, by December 2027, the nation should be self-sufficient in pulses. Beginning in January 2028, we shall not import a single kilogram of pulses.” He made a plea to progressive farmers, Farmer Producers Organizations (FPOs), and Primary Agriculture Credit Societies (PACS) to spread the word about the portal and entice farmers to utilize this resource.<\/p>

According to him, the output of pulses has climbed over the past 10 years, from 19.2 million tonnes in the 2013\u201314 crop year (July\u2013June) to 26.05 million tonnes in 2022\u20132023 since the minimum support price has increased by more than twice as much.<\/p>

However, the domestic production of pulses is still short of consumption and depends on imports.<\/p>
