The Weather in India these days has become erratic at best
and rainfall does not happen at the right time. Moderate rainfall, which is
needed so much for proper agriculture is now becoming a thing of the past and
things have reached the extreme. India is facing worst water crisis in
a decade. Farmer’s suicides in India has been a serious public policy concern.
Reason
behind their suicides:-
1. Because of drought or unexpected
rains the crop sown are wasted and there is less in yield of grains which is a
huge loss.
2. Unable to repay the loan of the
creditors and increase in debt amount can also be a reason for suicide.
3. Financial instability is core reason for
suicide.
Current Government
has taken an initiated 5 steps to solve the problem of farmers.
1. 70 % cut in Monsanto’s Royalties
2. Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana
3. Pradhan Mantri Fasal Beema Yojna
4. Relief to farmers in input subsidy
5. Soil Health Card
Five worst
affected states in decade are Maharashtra, Andra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh ,
Karnataka, Chhattisgarh .These year suicide chances are quite less as there is
sufficient rainfall in monsoon season.
