How to ensure justice for Indian Farmers

In our country, situation of farmers is really miserable. They are committing suicide because they don't have money to clear their debt,their survival is in danger because of failuure of goverment machinery and thus  its difficult for them to cope with natural hazards. They are the victim of drought, unseasonal rain and badly affected by flood like areas of north Bihar.
Out of 70% population of India living in villages, most of them are directly or indirectly related with agriculture. But today we see their is drastic fall in the production of grains in the country. We increased the production by using fertilizers and high yeilding variety of crops but still we are not able to secure FOOD SECURITY for our civilians. According to the survey by a world famous organisation that if the same consumption pattern as practice by USA will continue we will need two earth to satisfy the consumption needs of the whole world by 2020.
But farmers sad response towards agriculture are cause of worry and it is beacuse their is no provision or facilities for them at grass root level. If the farmer in villages produce something they don't get the genuine price of their crop, similarly rural market is not having the capicity to consume their products by giving them the good price, and its difficult to bring their products in the town and cities by every farmer.
So the prolem is that how to achieve justice for farmers when they are is crisis for their survival to continue their occupation. Small and marginal Farmers are migrating to the cities for new job alternatives in this decade. So to ensure justice for the farmers government must come with the bill in which their protection against natural calamities must be protected. Crop should be insured and government shop should function well in every Block or Talukas of the country. Their should be provision made for reservation and admission of farmers children in good school and collages of the country for better and quality eduacation. And enhancing rural econmy will create the difference to achive the justice for farmers.
Therfore we need at this point of time even a single political leader like Lal Bahadur Shastri who can care for the farmer and interprate JAI KISAN with changing needs of the farmers and can do something to protect the old glory,respect and better condition for  farmers in this agrarian form of Economy.
