Agrarian crisis and political impact of andhra pradesh

Here is ur answer
THE extreme agrarian distress in Andhra Pradesh achieved national prominence when it resulted in the dramatic increase in suicides by farmers in the region. These have occurred in substantial numbers for around seven years now, but the causes leading to such desperation have been documented by some sensitive journalists and local activists in the state relatively recently.
The new Government in the State — which came to power essentially because its leaders showed themselves to be aware of the severity of the problems in the countryside — has therefore made agricultural regeneration the most important priority. It is becoming increasingly evident that the difficulties confronting agriculture in Andhra Pradesh are complex and multifarious, and will in fact require a complete reversal of the earlier economic strategy followed in the State, if these problems are to be adequately addressed.
But the past experience in Andhra Pradesh deserves even greater national attention. This is because what has already happened in very acute form in this State is occurring in many (even most) other parts of rural India. Even the same symptoms — farmers' suicides, hunger deaths in the midst of production surpluses, distress migration under stark conditions — are exhibiting themselves in regions as disparate as Vidarbha in Maharashtra and south-western Rajasthan.
The causes, also, are broadly the same, with the shift towards increasingly unreliable cash crops, the decline in institutional credit, the problems with input supplies and crop marketing, and the lack of alternative non-agricultural income opportunities, all contributing to the generalised agrarian crisis.
