Hint: Again a direct question with the focus on current context in terms of the farmer’s protest. Here, also along with the argument, examples will be the strength of the answer.
Introduction (I): Define pressure groups and tools they used to achieve their purpose. Body (B): 1) Mention various methods farmers use to influence the policy-makers (protest, reaching out to leadership, Activism, Awareness generation, lobbying etc) Conclusion (C): Farmer’s organisation as a pressure group is very strong, yet, division among various groups and on identity lines have been a major barrier. This needs to be overcome to present farmers as one group. |
