Answer 2

Answer:

Various reasons have been offered to explain why farmers commit suicide in India, including: floods, drought, debt, use of genetically modified seed, public health, use of lower quantity pesticides due to less investments producing a decreased yield. There is no consensus[36][37][38] on what the main causes might be but studies show suicide victims are motivated by more than one cause, on average three or more causes for committing suicide, the primer reasons being the inability to repay loans.[39] Panagariya, an economist at the World bank states, "farm-related reasons get cited only approximately 25 percent of the time as reasons for suicide" and "studies do consistently show greater debt burden and greater reliance on informal sources of credit" amongst farmers who commit suicide.[39]
