Sub: Increasing Suicide Cases of Farmers and Some Suggestions
Dear Sir:
I am writing to your good self to express my deep anguish over the problem of increasing cases of suicide by deb-trapped farmers. Approximately 12000 farmers commit suicide every year owing to debts. This is a very sorry state. These suicides are blemish on our country. How can we claim to be a progressive nation if farmers, the food producers keep committing suicides like this.
The Governments at the state and central level must look into it and take prompt measures to curb these suicides. The Government must have a system to track and identify farmers whose economic condition is very poor and debts and loans of such farmers should either be exempted or repayment time should be extended. Middle men that don’t let the farmers sell the crops in the market should be gotten rid of systematically. In order to promote the sale of indigenous crops, the Government should restrict import of foreign crops and pulses. Kindly give my ideas some space in your reputed daily.
Yours truly,
Ramola
