FDI will benefit farmers,says Dr Johal

Padma Bhushan Dr S S Johl,Chancellor,Central University of Punjab,Bathinda,who is an economist,academician and administrator,has said that entry of FDI in retail will be very beneficial for the country,especially producers/farmers and consumers.

He emphasised that policy announcement and policy implementation were two different things. “Our government is good in policy announcement but not in implementation,” he said while interacting with members of Ludhiana Management Association (LMA) on Wednesday.

He said since mismanagement and malpractices were prevalent in the whole system starting from production to public distribution,it was very important to implement policies because if they were not implemented then the country won’t be benefited by this.
