(30 मई 2020)जबलपुर- कोरोना महामारी के इस संक्रमण काल में देश का अन्नदाता किसान जहां अन्न भंडार भरने में कड़ा परिश्रम कर रहा है। वहीं दूसरी ओर कोरोना महामारी से पीड़ित जनों के लिये रक्तदान में भी पीछे नहीं है। तपती गर्मी में किसानों के द्वारा 101 यूनिट रक्तदान इसका सजीव प्रमाण है। उक्त विचार राष्ट्रीय स्वंयसेवक संघ के प्रांत प्रचारक प्रवीण गुप्त ने श्री दत्तोपंत ठेंगड़ी जनशताब्दी वर्ष के उपलक्ष्य पर भारतीय किसान संघ जबलपुर के द्वारा पाटन में आयोजित रक्तदान व रक्त परीक्षण शिविर के अवसर पर व्यक्त किये। श्री गुप्त ने आगे कहा कि किसान के परिश्रम के कारण ही आज हम कोरोना जैसी आपदा के समय में समाज के हर वर्ग को भरपेट भोजन उपलब्ध कराने में सफल हुये हैं। हमारे पास चिकित्सा के साधनों की कमी हो सकती है लेकिन अन्न के भंडारों की कमी नहीं हैं। जिसके लिये हमारे देश का देवतुल्य किसान साधुवाद का हकदार है। 
पाटन विधायक अजय विश्नोई ने अपने संबोधन में कहा कि पाटन क्षेत्र का किसान गरीब जनों के लिये पांच सौ क्विंटल अन्न का दान कर चुका है और आज भीषण गर्मी में रक्तदान कर रहा है। धन्य है यह भूमि जिसने ऐसे किसान पुत्र पैदा किये हैं। पाटन के सामुदायिक भवन में आयोजित रक्तदान व रक्त परीक्षण शिविर में सेवा भारती महाकोशल प्रांत, इंडियन रेडक्रास सोसाइटी जबलपुर, योगमणि ट्र्स्ट व राष्ट्रीय स्वंयसेवक संघ के स्वंयसेवकों का विशेष सहयोग प्राप्त हुआ। कृषि विभाग की अनुविभागीय अधिकारी इंदिरा त्रिपाठी ने भी रक्तदान कर अनुकरणीय उदाहरण प्रस्तुत किया।

India is an agriculture predominant country. Farmers and agriculture as well as agro based businesses are the main strength of our nation. Indian nation’s expression cannot be visualized without farmer and agriculture. In spite of such good growth and development all around the world, the Indian village based farmer is feeling cheated and helpless. He seems to have been left behind in the pace of development. Many organizations of Nation are trying to rectify this anomaly but most of them are either mouth pieces of some individual (or individuals), or either associated with political parties. These are using farmers to meet their own selfish ends or to fulfill high personal ambitions. The need of the hour at present is to have a non political organization which can awaken the farmers towards creatively achieving their just rights without forgetting their duties as citizens of the country.

Introduction

Realizing above situation and need, nation’s great thinker of international repute the Right Honorable Dattopantji Thengdi made great efforts to raise an organization of Indian farmers with non political nationalist ideology.

Under the able guidance of Shri Thengdiji, Shri Bhau Saheb Bhaskuteji as the guiding soul, formed for the first time Bhartiya Kisan Sangh in Madhya Pradesh in 1978 and began its activities after getting the organization duely registered. The first meeting and the registration took place in the Kasera Dharamsala of Hoshangabad distt. Next year Shri Bhaskuteji travelled the whole nation length and breadth over motivated 650 farmer representatives and organized their first conference at Kota (Rajasthan) on the 3rd, 4th and 5th of March 1979. In this very conference the all India organization of Indian farmers – The “Bhartiya Kisan Sangh” was established on 4th March by Shri Thengdiji. On this very occasion Shri Thengdiji declared emphatically and in clear words that this “Organization would be a non political body of the farmers, for the farmers and by the farmers”

Stead fastly working according to the opening declarations given above, the Bhartiya Kisan Sangh is progressing positively and at present is the nations largest organization of farmers.

Movements Based

In democracy to maintain the farmers honor, in creative struggles against the system the most effective method is non violent movements and demonstrations.

Thus maintaining the constitutional norms and conventions of democracy the BKS has organized many movements and is continuing some of them at present, according to its numerical and moral strength. The BKS has been successful in most of them. It has given its stand on some of the outstanding issues of times, and the opinion has been universally accepted and abided.

Flag

The flag of BKS is ochre coloured, signifying nations history, tradition and life. Ochre being similar to that of morning light signifies regularity and radiance like that of sun. Like fire it signifies purity and power, as robes of seers and monks it denotes knowledge and renunciation. To sum up the ochre flag is a symbol of noble ancient eternal Indian Culture. To have uniformity in flag, this has been kept rectangular with ratio of length : breadth at 3:2. In the centre of the flag is embossed the emblem of BKS

Motto

(Krishi Mit Krishaswa) meaning do farming itself. This phrase is a part of larger Rg Vedic mantra from Akshdevan Suktam which means Don’t gamble, do farming itself, and live graciously on its earnings.

Expansion of the Organisation:

Bharatiya Kisan Sangh had expanded in the entire nation within a short while. Due to the leadership of the efficient guide and due to the dedicated selfless, devoted team of cadre, the organisation had quick expansion and likewise, even in this era of distrust and want of confidence, the workers due to their selflessness and endeavour, won the confidence of kisan and they, through the organistion, were successful in doing and making others doing various activities for the welfare of kisan.

Even within this short time interval itself, Bharatiya Kisan Sangh spread in all the states of the country. In several states, every district is having activities of Bharatiya Kisan Sangh. In some districts, there is the activity of organisation in every taluka. In some fortunate talukas, because of the speed of work, in every village, village committees of Bharatiya Kisan Sangh function.

Organisational Work:

Bharatiya Kisan Sangh awakens the creative power of farmers on one side to protect their interest and to attain their powers it generates the revolutionary spirit, on the other side to develop create and sustain their counter responsibility towards the national society it awakens the patriotism too. To make well and stable economical condition of farmers, important activities such as imparting agriculture training to eliminate loss, to make them wise about the various consumer protection acts, are in progress. Along with co partition, cooperation and co-thinking, by creating mutual trust and through various exercises for social reconstruction, happy and prosperous village life can be a changed. This is the basic concept and ideology of Kisan Sangh. To keep the farmers alert and awakened about various internal and external attacks on the Rashtra and to imbibe in the minds of the farmers about their duty to ward off from these attacks is the outstanding work of Bharatiya Kisan Sangh.

Organisational Outline:

Bharatiya Kisan Sangh is registered organisation. Membership is valid for three years and working committees are elected every three years from village level to national level.

Bharatiya Kisan Sangh has adopted a very wide meaning for agriculture which includes all operations carried out in the field, dairy farming, horticultural, sericulture, fishery, forestry, as well as produce, manufacture, process, trade, business of agricultural products. All persons involved in above activities as well as agriculture labors without any discrimination of caste, religion, language, region etc. is eligible to become a member of the Bharatiya Kisan Sangh.

For Village Committee, Development Block Committee, District Committee, Divisional Committee, Provincial Committee, State Committee, Regional Committee and National Committee, Elections are held with family feeling and consensus. These committees, for the entire whole year, are planning and carrying various activities, such as membership enrollment committee formation, monthly Baithak , Refresher Camp, Training camps of various types, meeting, village gathering, conference, tour, farmer fair, animal fair, farmers day, foundation day, visualisation of ideal village, social feast, forest living, cow worship, Bharat Mata pooja, animal competition, fruit, vegetable and flower competition, dharna, gherao , demonstration etc. for helping activities of administration, development and appraisal.

Bharatiya Kisan Sangh is a farmer’s organisation par excellence.

Farmers are most neglected community in Bharat. Draught and flood have become congenital headaches is most parts of the country. The psyche of rulers had worsened the situation further. Agriculture was showelled off to a corner in economic planning.( Hence, the increase in the cost of agricultural products bore no fruit.)

Farmers are soaked generally in ignorance and non-unity. Due to this, migration of farmers to the urban is on the increase, slums develop, population rises and a number of acute urban crises raise their head. Only to obviate such problems, Bharatiya Kisan Sangh was formed.

It regards all the other farmers’ organistion as brother organisation.

Bharatiya Kisan Sangh, nurtured in Bharatiya cultural qualities, not only keeps upliftment of standard of living of farmers as its ideology, but, strives for their all-round integral upliftment. So, Bharatiya Kisan Sangh in addition to conducting struggles also educates farmers in various subjects. While pulfing forward the demand for fixation of prices of agricultural produces according to the cost of input, it attends to the dictum that farmers should be self reliant. It tries to make farmers realise that there is no use of running to the government help for all and sundry. It explains to the farmers to reduce unnecessary expenditure to eradicate the practice of eternal debt. The qualities and thoughts induced by Bharatiya Kisan Sangh, induce the farmers to discard bad habits and cultivate saving habit. The feeling of national interest is supreme is inculcated in the minds of farmers. Hence, even though Kisan Sangh is forced to enter in agitations, these demonstrations are held peacefully and in law abiding manner. The Government administration too, welcomes this positive method of approach and takes steps smoothly.

To conduct training classes for farmers is a unique phenomenon of Bharatiya Kisan Sangh. These training classes include information about high yielding varieties, cattle breeding. The landowning farmers, who participate in these classes, are induced to pay reasonable wages to the agricultural workers working for them. It is stressed that they should include too the animals used in agriculture, as members of the family and treated accordingly. Cow & cow family plays vital role in agriculture .So cow is worshiped in this organisation. Bharatiya Kisan Sangh nurtures the concept that all those who participate in the agricultural sector belong to one family. Due to this, in addition to the upliftment of standard of living of farmers, their moral stature and social feelings are also developed. The harmonious fellings are created by this to help in smoothly solving the quarrels which rise in rural areas now and then.

As the feeling of those participating in agriculture is one family is imbibed, there is smooth relationship between all sections of landowners and agricultural labourers. Because of this, suicidal propandas such as class struggle receive mortal blow. To stress the point that agriculture is our economical lifebreath, Bharatiya Kisan Sangh keeps Krishimit Krushasva (Do Only Farming) as its motto. Lord Balaram, carrying plough on his shoulder& Musal in hand is regarded as the family deify of farmers. By celebrating the birthday of Lord Balaram as Farmer’s Day, national and spiritual feeling is injected into the farmers’ movement.
