The paper focuses on analyzing whether the rights of the farmer's brotherhood are a tactic masked as the right to strategize and to resist the interpretation of current IPR (Intellectual Property Rights) unfair treatment and its plant variety regime. As marketable intellectual property models have taken their own road to cultivation, farmers have gradually been disenergizing conventional seed-saving customs. There are various insinuations about this cruise. Farmers' rights are, on the one hand, a special form of law that can help translate intellectual property conventions by means of methods that are more appropriate for the registration and content promotion of new modes of invention, such as those proposed by agricultural societies. Farmers' privileges, on the other hand, have been very difficult to implement. And the movement risks further legitimizing the injustice that is reciprocal in situating farmers' rights alongside conveniently enacted commercial breeders' rights. At the national level, the industrialized countries began to accept and protect intellectual property as the revolutionary role of commercial plant growers. The US, EU, Australia, Africa and the Philippines were the first to initiate this programme. The Indian law exploits smartly and has approved the one-species law known as the Act to protect plant varieties and farmers rights of 2001. Indian legislation exploits the versatility of TRIPs. This Act also acknowledged many farmers' rights. In the domestic and international field, Indian law is important when many other countries attempt to create similar laws. The development of modern intellectual property systems which are appropriate for their interests and, at the same time, protect the rights of breeders and farmers is a warmongering factor in other emerging countries. The primary concern found is that the very essence of protection for farmers is to be investigated. In the fortification system for intellectual property rights, the essence of the defence of farmers' rights has been investigated for due gratitude for the status of farmers. The essence of protection for farmer rights was examined in two contexts: first of all, the appropriateness of either the legislation on patent or plant varieties for farmers and secondly, the appropriateness of farmers' rights as privileges, benefits sharing and rights of possession. This paper analyses the definition of plant variety and IPR for farmers.
