Amid the confrontation in agriculture, India's Bt cotton sensation story stands out still in the hullabaloo over Bt and GM crops. Consider the case of Mr. Gurtej Singh, from Ghragna, Punjab. The farmer builds a new home worth Rs. 20 lakh, bought one acre, invested in a teaching policy for his son and purchased a new car.

One more cotton farmer Mr. Nandkishore Raut, from Bhambraja village, Yavatmal, Maharashtra, bought 2 acres land, developed a new pucca home, and got a life insurance policy valued at Rs. 1.75 lakh for his son.

Likewise Mr. Botla Kumara Swamy, Sivaji Nagar village, Warangal, Andhra Pradesh, grows Bt cotton in his four acres land. He built a home worth Rs. 1.5 lakh, purchased a cast-off motorcycle for Rs. 20,000, and inducted a duct for irrigation.

Additionally he commenced a tiny milk compilation-cum- examination venture and churns out more or less Rs. 15,000 a month.

According to Mr. Jagresh Rana, Director - Mahyco Monsanto Biotech, Mumbai households of Bt cotton seed farmers in India take pleasure in a advanced level of comfort such as buying cars, motorcycles, constructing pucca and bigger houses, registering their children in English standard schools, or sending them in a foreign country for education, investing in farming land, and farm tools such as tractors and drip irrigation.
