epa09608785 Indian farmers shout slogans during 'Kisan Mazdoor' Mahapanchayat (congregation) and protest rally in solidarity with farmers, at Azad Maidan in Mumbai, India, 28 November 2021. A massive state-wide Mahapanchayat was held to celebrate the historic victory of the yearlong farmers struggle in getting the Farm Laws repealed, and to declare the determination to fight for the remaining demands.

The move comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi said last month he would roll back three farm laws, giving in after more than a year of protests by tens of thousands of farmers who demanded their repeal, as key state elections approach.
Despite the government's climbdown, the farmers had continued to press for other demands, such as the guaranteed prices, as well as for legal action against protesters to be dropped.
"We have received a letter from the government which has conceded to our requests," said Balbir Singh Rajewal, a senior leader of a coalition of farmers' unions, the Samyukta Kisan Morcha, or United Farmers' Front.
But farmers' leaders would meet on Jan. 15 to review progress on the government's assurances, Rajewal told a news conference.
"We will resume our protests if the government moves away from the assurances," said Gurnam Singh Charuni, another farmers' leader.
From Dec. 11, farmers will start leaving the protest site on the outskirts of the Indian capital of New Delhi, they said.
The government will set up a panel of growers and government officials to find ways of ensuring Minimum Support Prices (MSP), as the guaranteed rates are called, for all farm produce, according to the letter seen by Reuters.
The government now buys mainly rice and wheat at such guaranteed prices, benefiting barely 6% of India's millions of farmers.
Agriculture, which accounts for nearly 15% of India's $2.7-trillion economy, is the livelihood of more than half its population of 1.3 billion. (Reporting by Rajendra Jadhav and Mayank Bhardwaj; Editing by Andrew Cawthorne and Clarence Fernandez)
