Farm Bills 2020 explained | Why are Farmers Protesting | Ep 1 - Indian Agriculture by Abhi and Niyu

In this video, Abhi and Niyu explain the three farm bills - 2020 in a simple manner. The government believes that the agricultural reforms will give farmers the freedom that they deserve. But many farmers in Punjab and Haryana have come on the streets to protest. This contrast is startling for many Indians, just like us.
