It is a good thing that Sikkim govt. has banned all pesticides that are used in agriculture. People of Sikkim growing crops and vegetables without using pesticides. Many farmers are adopting organic farming in India as well throughout the world. People have realised the harmful effects of pesicides on health. Punjab is the state to use large amount of pesticies. As a result people of Punjab are suffering from physical infirmities including cancer. One special train nicknamed as 'cancer train' runs for Punjab.
Govt gives subsidies on pesticides and fertilisers. Farmers take loan to purchase them. Lastly when crops fail due to one reason or other, farmers commit suicie under the burden of debt. So everybody suffers and only phrmaceutical companies gain. So pesticides and fertilisers should be replaced by organic pest control measures and organic manures.
