It looks the governments in India are working against the small ans marginal farmers. The governments are wasting water of rivers and dams, which is evident from the water use efficiency of about 40 percent, against 80 to 90 percent of most of the nations of the world. The governments are encouraging & rewarding farmers & other people who are wasting water. Governments in India do not wish to stop wastage of water and do not wish that it reaches all the needy farmers timely and in desired quantity. Similarly the per hectare yield of crops in India is among lowest in the world. Governments in India do not wish to increase it. Governments in India do not wish to make the small and marginal farmers economically sound.
