First of all, I wish you to listen to this song from the Movie Hum Sath Sath Hai before coming to the subject of this blog. Just listen the first 1-2 Minutes of the song.
I do not have any Animation/Graphic support team, otherwise I would introduce the members of the newly formed committee for the farming in this same style of the Hum Sath Sath Hai song. Nevertheless, Just read the following post in the rhythm of this song. You will enjoy it .
This committee has 29 members including the chairman. Out of that 29, 18 members are the government officials or experts of the government agency and colleges. So, One can presume about the views of the official members as their promotion and post retirement opportunities are depend upon the goverment. Therefore, In this post, I will only discuss about those members who are non officials.
Out of 11 non official members, Goverment have proposed to nominate Three members from Sanyukta Kisan Morcha ( SKM). But SKM decided to not send any member to this committee. So here I will talk about chairman and 8 members.
Let start with the chairman of this committee, Sanjay Agrawal
This Gentleman was the Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture when the three farm laws were introduced. Later on he represented the view of the government of India in the rounds of the discussion with the Smykuy kisan morcha.

Twitter bio of this member is - "Former Minister - Gujarat Former MP – Amreli". He is the member of the BJP. In his twitter profile pciture, There are 6 photos of him with the prime minister Modi. So, it is not difficult to presume about his views on any matter.
Binod Anand, General Secretary, CNRI - Appointed as the Representative of Farmers’ Group
CNRI full form is Confederation of NGO's of Rural India. Here is website of it. There are no details available on the website about their work in detail. So the question arises is, Why did the government choose CNRI as the representative group of farmers and not other farmers groups ? Following lines may give the answer.

This is the news of the Tv18 on the date 21 June 2021
Bharatiya Kisan Union Bhupendra Mann faction has come out in support of agricultural laws. A delegation of farmers, led by State President of Bhartiya Kisan Union, Guni Prakash, met Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar.

The Bharatiya Kisan Union gave an open challenge to the farmers' organizations opposing the agricultural laws. ( In Hindi)
Here are the views of the Guni Prakash on the Farmers who protested against the Goverment on three farm laws
After knowing the details of the profile of the committee members, it is easy to presume about the outcome of this exercise. This newly formed committee has no representation from the political executive ( Minister) and Parliament ( MPs) who have the last say in any policy regarding the decision. If the government is actually committed towards the farmers' cause, there should be a committee having wider representation of the Members of parliament (specially from opposition), Standing committee chairman of Parliament on subject of Agriculture, Members of the farmer groups who opposed the three farm laws and also of the Independent young and progressive farmers.
