The commenters have to realize that average farm worker gets an annual wage that is one fifth of an industrial or service worker. It is absolutely necessary that number of farm workers get reduced from 300 million to 10 million over the next two decades. The government must educate them, help them move to urban areas. The people including Sainath, who are sympathetic toward rural poverty would themselves never even dream of moving to a village. It is absolutely necessary to help rural people become urban ASAP.
