Pal Singh, 55, a resident of Sowhna village in Patiala who grows maize and paddy, owns two acres of land. With a monthly 'saving' of Rs. 2,000 after selling the harvest and paying for his land lease, Mr Singh does not have enough to provide for his family. He has no money to buy medicine for his ailing sister and pay his sons' school fee, apart from meeting other sundry agrarian dues.
