"Farmers in India have been trapped for long in a vicious cycle, and a deep sense of need for actual reform in the sector had been felt. Simple steps as the choice of buyer had become a vexed issue," the documents said.
"Farmers can now sell anywhere as per their will. This in turn will enable better price realization for farmers, attracting investments and make agriculture competitive, thus becoming a key contributor to the promise of doubling farmer incomes," it said.
The document added that the announcement to amend the Essential Commodities Act also comes as a bold step. "This reform aimed at deregulation in various commodities such as vegetables, cereals, pulses, etc, enables greater price benefits for farmers. These reforms were big bold steps that actually go a long way to free farmers," it said.

"Ever since the Modi government came in, it is addressing decades-old demands in the defence sector on two fronts. The Make in India push in the defence sector and clearing the procurements that were overdue such as fighter aircraft, attack helicopters, guns, etc.
"Now amidst the corona crisis, self-reliance in defence manufacturing has been taken to the next level with a host of measures," it said.
About the space sector, the document said, "In this day and age, putting India first on global stage depends on its capability in space technology as well. Indias premier institute ISRO has already made India a force to reckon with in this regard."
Talking about the reforms in atomic energy, it said that paving the way for private participation has also opened new areas of opportunities in Indias growth.
"In shaping the post-Corona world, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has brought together talents beyond the government system in sophisticated sectors like defence, space, and atomic to use them for the greater common good," the document read.
