SEEDS OF JUSTICE: MAPPING THE LEGAL ARCHITECTURE OF AGRICULTURAL GOVERNANCE IN INDIA

Satakshi Raj, B.A.LL. B (H), 10th Semester, Student at Amity Law School, Noida (India)

This particular research paper takes a very long, detailed look at the whole legal setup and the general architecture that basically governs the entire agricultural sector across the country of India, while also trying to analyze it from several different angles like the constitutional side, the statutory side, and the side that deals with reform-oriented dimensions. It really tries to highlight and point out how the legislative powers are actually distributed and split up between the central Union and the various States, while also looking at the specific role of certain key provisions, for example, things like Articles 246, 21, and 300A, which all play a big part in shaping how agrarian governance actually works on the ground in a practical sense. Moving on from there, the study goes even further into things by evaluating the various regulatory frameworks that are currently in place, including stuff like the Essential Commodities Act and the whole APMC system, along with the 2020 farm laws which were originally intended and aimed at bringing about more market liberalization in the sector. By looking closely at the protests that happened afterward and the eventual repeal of those same laws, the paper really tries to underscore and show the big tensions that exist between the idea of state control on one hand and market reforms on the other hand. It ends by emphasizing that there is a big need for a framework that is balanced, inclusive, and mostly farmer-centric, so that the legal system can actually ensure sustainability.
