Maharashtra State or Liquor State ?

MAHARASHTRA STAE OR LIQUOR STATE ???

My dear friends and respected teachers today we are going to discuss about the LIQUOR scenario in Maharashtra. As we know Government of Maharashtra gave permission to new 36 wineries for LIQUOR production with the help of grains.
Now-a-days whatever our ministers our saying about LIQUOR production is it true???
No friends it is not true at all! Our ministers are saying that WINERIES WILL HELPS FARMERS TO STRENGTHEN THEIR FININCIAL CONDITION & ULTIMATELY REDUCES   THE SUCITATON.
Now you may thinking that why it is not true? So let me tell you some interesting facts behind it….
Government of Maharashtra gave permission to 36 wineries in state. Some of them have already start   production. So I have some doubts in my mind. Now I would like to ask to our Government.

(1) Does Maharashtra have excess of grains to divert it to the LIQUOR production?
Ans. No, Maharashtra is still lagging in the field of grain production. We are unable to fulfill our own need of grains. According to the survey of INDIAN COUNCIL OF MEDICAL RESEARCH (ICMR) 400 grams of grains (BELOW THE DAILY AVERAGE NEED) consumed by person per day in India.
So,
Grains consumed per person per day = 400grams
Grains consumed per person per year = 150 kg
Population of Maharashtra state = 105 millions
Required grains per year for Maharashtra state = 160 Lac Ton
Current availability of grains = 123 Lac Ton

The above calculation clearly shows that Maharashtra state can not fulfill own needs. In this situation it is not possible to divert grain to LIQUOR production.

(2) How much amount of grain will be used for this LIQUOR production?
Ans. Government of Maharashtra permitted 36 wineries, if this wineries use full strength then they need 14 Lac Ton grains every year which can feed 93 Lac people & this need will be rise as per every year. When SUPREME COURT asked to Government of Maharashra   what is basic need of people LIQUOR or FOOD....
