It is sad but true that the cases of farmer suicides in India have increased over the years. There are a number of reasons that contribute to it. These include the erratic weather conditions, debt burden, family issues and change in government policies among others.
Farmer Suicides in India has seen an increase over the period of time. The main reasons for this are the growing disparity in the weather conditions, high debts, health issues, personal problems, government policies, etc.
The cases of farmer suicides in India, just like many other countries, are far higher in comparison to that in other occupations. Statistics reveal that 11.2% of the total suicides in the country are farmer suicides. A number of factors contribute towards farmer suicides in India. Here is a detailed look at these reasons as well as the measures being taken by the government to help farmers in distress.
★ Why are Farmers taking this Extreme Step?
There are a number of reasons why farmers in India are committing suicides. One of the main reasons is the erratic weather conditions in the country. Global warming has led to extreme weather conditions such as drought and floods in most parts of the country. Such extreme conditions lead to damaging of crops and the farmers are left with nothing. When the crop yield is not sufficient, the farmers are forced to take debt to fulfil their financial needs. Unable to repay the debt, many farmers usually take the unfortunate step of committing suicide.
Most farmers are the sole earners of the family. They face constant pressure to fulfil the demands and responsibilities of the family and the stress caused by the inability to meet the same often leads to farmer suicides. Other factors responsible for the increasing number of farmer suicide cases in India include low produce prices, changes in government policies, poor irrigation facilities and alcohol addiction.
★ Measures Taken to Control Farmer Suicides
Some of the initiatives taken by the government of India to control the cases of farmer suicides in the country include:
The Relief Package 2006.Maharashtra Money Landing (regulation) Act 2008.Agricultural Debt Waiver and Debt Relief Scheme 2008.Maharashtra Relief Package 2010.Kerala Farmers’ Debt Relief Commission (Amendment) Bill 2012.Diversify Income Sources Package 2013.70% cut in Monsanto’s Royalties.Pradhan Mantri Fasal Beema Yojna (Crop Insurance for Farmers).Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojna.Soil Health Cards.
★ Conclusion
It is sad how several farmers commit suicide unable to cope up with financial and emotional upheaval in their lives. The government must take effective steps to control these cases.
