India rules out new farm debt aid
India's agriculture minister has rejected calls for additional debt cancellation for millions of farmers.
In February, the government agreed a $15bn scheme to write off the debts of millions of small farmers - those with less than two hectares of land.
But there have been demands from opposition and some governing coalition parties to extend the loan waiver to farmers who own more land.
Farm activists say debts have been driving many farmers to suicide.
