Demerits

♤ India is a poor country facing hunger, diseases, malnutrition etc. There is a huge chance that the cash may get used in some non-priority activities or for some non-productive works e.g. on marriage of girls, alcohol, etc. rather than being used for the right purposes.

♤ The country may not be able to reach its desired goals such as food grain production may

not be enough to support the huge population and create the problem of food security instead.

♤ This will also open the country to volatility of market mechanisms.

♤ Widespread illiteracy and lack of awareness may also hamper the prospect of Agriculture in the country.
