DRASTIC environmental changes are becoming a threat to agriculture, especially in less developed countries, and it may affect the food security. This concern was shared in a seminar organised by the Rohtak district unit of All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) on June 5.

THROUGH a statement issued from New Delhi on June 2, 2014, the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) took serious note of the media reports suggesting that the BJP government is likely to go ahead with the implementation of the recommendations of Madhav Gadgil led Western Ghats ecological expert panel (WGEEP). The AIKS cautioned the government against rushing through implementation of the said recommendations without addressing the serious concerns agitating the minds of the people in the Western Ghats region.
