Should central law override state law or not with respect to e-NAM?  This needs to be addressed properly. Keep Writing.

KEY POINTS

Centre should override state law

·        Though e-NAM links as many as 585 mandis operated by the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committees (APMCs) in 16 states, just about 14 per cent of farmers in the country are registered with it to sell their produce.

·        What is worse, most of the business transacted through this portal comprises the deals within the same mandi or the mandis in the same state.

·        Instances have also come to light where the business is conducted as usual but the data is uploaded on e-NAM’s portal at the end of the day.

·        Inter-state dealings, for which e-NAM was primarily set up, have been very few — totalling just 136 till now.

·        Most of these transactions, too, have been between the adjoining states like Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, and Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh.

·        Only 21 mandis in eight states have so far acquired the facilities needed for inter-state trade in farm goods.

Centre should’t override state law

·        Agriculture is a state subject, amending APMCs influences the autonomy of states and affects the balance of cooperative federalism.

·        States are unlikely to amend APMCs so a model act need to effective implemented with the cooperation from states.

·        Implementation of e-NAM will be effective only with cooperation from states, so their autonomy should be preserved.

Information about e-NAM is not needed. For "Critically Analyse" criticisms must be included. Try to explain why centre shouldn't override state law. Keep Writing.
