The CKC meeting, chaired by AIKS president S Ramachandran Pillai, noted the fact of several agitations and struggles led by the AIKS in this period throughout the country on a host of issues that have been aggravated by the new agrarian policies followed by central and various state governments.

These struggles, which were joined by lakhs of peasants, included those on land reforms and other land related questions, irrigation and power issues, those for loan waiver and remunerative prices, Dalit and tribal issues, price rise, new taxes and other issues, besides a general all-India campaign against the new economic policies and patent act amendment.

Form of struggle varied from state to state and from issue to issue, and included street corner meetings, mass rallies and demonstrations, picketings, rasta roko, etc, besides direct occupation of land in some of the states.

An 86 km long march started from Burdwan to reach Calcutta via Hooghly and Howrah districts, demanding revival of sick industries and protesting against the deindustrialisation policy of the central government. It culminated in a mass rally in Calcutta, wherein more than three lakh peasants and agricultural workers participated. Jyoti Basu, chief minister of West Bengal, addressed the rally, among others.

In Tripura, the Kisan Sabha and Gana Mukhti Parishad (GMP) conducted an extensive programme of processions, meetings and gatherings at sub-divisional and panchayat levels, demanding amendment to the forest act, distribution of cultivable land among the tribal as well as non-tribal poor, and more powers to the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC). Thousands of the poor people participated in these actions.

In Kerala, there was a blockade of central government officers on April 5, against the exit policy and condemning the BJP government's new import liberalisation of more than 500 items. Besides, an extensive house to house campaign against the patent act amendment was conducted in villages all over the state, which was joined by thousands of peasants.

A special state convention was held at Tiruchirappalli in Tamil Nadu on June 1, wherein more than 25,000 peasants, agricultural workers and Adivasis participated. The convention gave a call for direct occupation of land.

The Karja Mukti Satyagraha by Punjab Kisan Sabha, mainly demanding loan waiver of over Rs 5,700 crore, was joined by more than 20,000 peasants. On May 18, there was the largest mass action of tribal poor before the Nasik collectorate in Maharashtra, wherein more than 17,000 tribals participated. The rally organised by Assam state unit of Kisan Sabha at Guwahati on April 21, to highlight the demands like check on price raise, strengthening the public distribution system, and immediate holding of panchayat elections, was attended by more than 15,000 peasants. The rallies and picketings organised by the MP and Rajasthan state committees against the heavy state government taxes on peasants was attended by thousands of peasants. These are some of the other important struggles of the period.

The general improvement in activities and timely intervention was reflected in this year's membership which was finalised by the CKC meeting. The membership finalised is all-time high with 1,46,16,946 (one crore forty six lakh sixteen thousand nine hundred and forty six). A general improvement of nearly 18 lakhs over the last year's membership was thus recorded. Yet this does not reflect the real strength which can easily cross the 1.5 crore mark.

The very good example of the Madhya Pradesh Kisan Sabha's drive to collect more than 400 quintals of wheat to make the Kisan Sabha stand on its own legs, and the state and district level training camps conducted by the Andhra Kisan Sabha were appreciated both in the secretary's report and in the discussions that followed.

The CKC meeting resolved to further strengthen the movement against social atrocities all over India and further increase the collection for helping the Dalit victims of Bihar who were killed by the landlords' Ranbir Sena. It decided that the Rs 2.5 lakh so far collected and the amount collected hereafter will be distributed among the victims of social atrocities in Bihar very soon.

The meeting decided to strengthen the organisation by immediately holding unit conferences all over the country, besides taking up the task of political education of the peasantry to defeat the communal, anti-peasant BJP and strengthen the Left, democratic and secular forces.
