The correct answer is

Loan waivers as well as the implementation of the Forest Rights Act (FRA)

The Kisan Long March of March 2018 was a six-day, roughly 180 km walk from Nashik to Mumbai, organised by the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS). Tens of thousands of farmers, many of them Adivasi cultivators, took part.

Their central demands were a complete loan waiver and, above all, proper implementation of the Forest Rights Act (FRA), 2006, so that tribal farmers could get title over the forest land they had cultivated for generations. The demand for the FRA is what made the march distinct from an ordinary farm-credit protest.

Credit facilities and the Swaminathan Commission recommendations (fair prices at 1.5 times cost of production) were also part of the wider agrarian agenda, but neither of them alone, nor loan waiver plus fair price, captures the land-rights core of this march.

Hence, the answer is Loan waivers as well as the implementation of the Forest Rights Act (FRA).
