The document discusses the pros and cons of allowing foreign investors to grow crops in India. It notes that foreign investors would establish industries like car, mobile and food manufacturing in India, using cheap Indian land, labor and tax incentives. However, this could decrease agriculture and food self-sufficiency in India. Instead, the document argues that the government should encourage domestic agriculture and agro-based industries like dairy to avoid future problems from over-reliance on imported manufactured goods and foreign ownership of land and resources.

foreign investors

2. What will they (investors) do in India?
They will manufacture cars, mobiles, personal computers and
similar products. Then, some more agro-based products such
as tinned foods, cool drinks etc.
For this what will we be giving: Indian land, incentives or
initial tax-free years and cheap labour.
In turn, what do they get? Least Establishment costs, cheap
labour and more profit, which will go to their countries.

3. Give encouragement to Agriculture
Cereals, pulses, vegetables & fruits, milk and
related products - these are the real signs of
affluence. Not the production of cars, mobiles
etc., which will put us into unsolvable problems
in future.
Government also has to encourage people
towards agriculture.

4. Encourage Indian industries in agro-based
sector like bottled-water, milk & dairy
products
The water extracted from Indian lands is purified
and packed by foreign companies like pepsi, aqua-
fina etc., and sold to us. They earn huge profits by
selling our water to ourselves. Instead, entrust such
responsibilities to Indian manufacturers like Tatas
(who are patriotic and honest).

5. Conclusion:
If foreign investments take place and lots of
industries are started in India, we will face (i)
shortage or even NIL manpower in agro-sector;
(ii) unemployment in the long-run as people are
trained for a particular industry; (iii) dependency
on foreign investors, who will dictate terms; (iv)
pollution of our land,air and water.
