6th Andaman & Nicobar State Conference of AIKS Held at Diglipur

The sixth State Conference of the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), Andaman and Nicobar Islands, was held on 8 September 2026 at Diglipur in North Andaman. Despite heavy rain, around 52 delegates attended the Conference, which was inaugurated by Vijoo Krishnan, General Secretary of AIKS.

The Conference discussed the problems confronting farmers in the islands, including the non-availability of fertilisers, seeds and pesticides. The failure of the government to ensure timely supply of agricultural inputs has forced farmers to depend on private firms, exposing them to exploitation. The Conference also highlighted the adverse implications of Free Trade Agreements, particularly the proposed import of agricultural products such as arecanut, which could further affect the livelihoods of local farmers.

Addressing the conference, Vijoo Krishnan called upon farmers to strengthen the Kisan Sabha and prepare for independent and united struggles against anti-farmer policies. He also emphasised the need to build broader movements of workers, farmers and agricultural workers against the policies of the Modi government.

The Conference elected a new State Committee and adopted resolutions on various issues concerning farmers and the people of the islands.
