The state of Punjab is facing numerous challenges in terms of socio-economic conditions, political negligence, and a failing agriculture sector. The youth is grappling with unemployment and a lack of meaningful work opportunities, while the education system has become irrelevant in the changing landscape. Farmers are resorting to suicide as agriculture remains unprofitable, and the depletion of underground water levels poses a threat to human survival. The state is plagued by drug addiction, a deteriorating law and order situation, and declining per capita income compared to other states. Moreover, there is a lack of value addition at the village level and significant marketing problems for agricultural produce. The healthcare infrastructure, transportation, electricity, industrialization, rural roads, and environmental issues are also in a dismal state. The article highlights the dissatisfaction among various segments of society, including farmers, students, small traders, and educational institutions. The outdated agricultural development model, known as the Green Revolution, has led to overexploitation of land and natural resources, leaving Punjab's farmers heavily in debt. The groundwater level has been depleting rapidly, raising concerns about water scarcity. The article emphasizes the need to diagnose the root causes of these issues and focus on viable solutions to save Punjab's agriculture sector.
