Future generations will be misguided. For example, if I have a plough, I will do it according to my time and will, and I don't need capital for that. If I don't have these, then I will take the help of equipment where I will have to invest capital. Just like that......

adapting to a new stage, that is, learning new responsibilities, schedules, and study methods, organizing tasks, times, exams, and personal life. Also, academic pressure, which involves fulfilling evaluations, presentations, and high demands. Also economic problems, which are expenses in materials, in transportation, food, also with fatigue and worry, and this can affect emotional well-being. In another case, it would be work and study at the same time.

The government sometimes provides us (with support). But if we rely on our own efforts, we earn more, and the family can manage without financial strain. Moreover, because registration is involved in this, our family's current earnings are forced to be minimal.

We have to save our culture, otherwise our future generations will go astray. For example, I have a plow and a ploughshare; I will do it according to my time and wish, and I don't need capital for this. If I don't have all these, then I will take the help of machinery, in which I will have to invest capital. Exactly like that......

Earlier, we used to farm with plows and oxen. Today, it's the age of machines, and we farm using them. However, we often face economic problems, due to which we have to go to the city separately to earn a living.

I feel that in the coming times, farming has remained very difficult, from one hardship to another. Our work has somewhat stalled, and we cannot do it anymore. It seems it was understood earlier.

Future generations will forget the old farming methods. For example, I have a plow and a ploughshare, I will do it according to my time and will, I don't need capital for this. If I don't have all these, then I will take the help of machinery, which will require me to invest capital.

Future generations will forget the traditional farming methods. For example, if I have a plough and a plowshare, I will cultivate according to my time and will, and I don't need capital for that. If I don't have all these, then I will take the help of machinery, for which I will have to invest capital.

We use LPG cylinder for our household use. The 15 kg cylinder however now costs about rs 1200. Earlier it was about 950. I live in a family of 5 and earn only 6000 per month. Out of this I support my two kids who are in school and college , medicines for my mother in law and other bills. This hike of 300 rs might seem small to a lot of people, but to us it has impacted our household budget a lot, We are still planning to figure out how to adjust this inflation in our budget without cutting down much on our regular expenses. We can think of switching to electric induction stove as we have subsidized electricity.

There is a lack of new technology, good seeds, and irrigation. We do farming, but the cost is high and the profit is low.

My name is Prasunna Pradhan. My village is Butedi. I am saying that I am educating my children with great difficulty. By cultivating ridge gourd, or wet land crops, or turmeric, I am educating my children with so much difficulty, sir. Please show me a little mercy. Okay, whether it's held or then it's held, it would have been better if it was let go.

My name is Babula Patra. I am a farmer. Due to the lack of seeds, I am unable to cultivate much. I am also unable to do so due to lack of machinery. If the government provides me with 50,000 rupees in assistance, it would help in maintaining my family.

The government provides us with work. If it is for us, then we can earn more and support our family comfortably. And there is registration involved in this. That is why, currently, our family's income is barely sufficient.

I am Lakshmanarayanan. I am a weaver. Now, due to the gas shortage, cooking is very difficult. Now, we have to buy firewood from nearby to cook. They have also increased the price of firewood due to the shortage. So, it's very difficult now. Now, it's the rainy season. During the rainy season, from 5-6 PM, strong winds blow. It rains. So, cooking with firewood is a bit difficult. If there wasn't this gas shortage, we could manage a bit. Our weaving business is already going through some difficulties. Now, with this situation, life is becoming a bit harder.

Due to LPG shortage, the prices of LPG have gone up, so we can't eat much because we have to save a lot. It's very difficult because we have to save a lot. Due to this, petrol prices have also increased. Petrol prices had increased earlier, it was around ₹100 before. Now it's around ₹108. So, if someone was putting petrol for ₹300, now they have to put it for ₹400 daily. Because of that, it's very difficult for me to manage our daily life and figure out where we are going.
