The Hindu Business Line: "Indian farmers now have access to many advanced technologies such as Bt cotton seeds, harvesters, tractors and sprinklers. But the prices of agricultural produce have been declining and the conditions of farmers deteriorating. Small farmers are making ends meet by working in stone quarries or brick kilns. Advanced technologies are certainly the bedrock on which a prosperous nation is built, but not necessarily does the common man benefit from them. "
