Authors
KM Manoj Kumar
Abstract
This paper examines the objectives and functioning of the PPV&FR Act in the light of the history and current state of Indian agriculture and available plant variety registration statistics. The analysis first studies the problems faced by Indian agriculture that the government seeks to resolve with the help of the PPV&FR Act. The paper highlights certain contradictions in the government’s policies under the PPV&FR Act on the one hand and those aiming to increase India’s agricultural productivity on the other. It also underscores the need and provides suggestions to make the Indian law more effective from a national interest perspective and to strengthen India’s stand before the international community where article 27.3(b) of the TRIPs Agreement continues to be under review.
