Every body writes about Indian farmers as if all of them are extremely poor and are ready to commit suicide at any moment of time. There are good number of farmers who have adopted new technologies in farming sector, have bought godown / cold storage units for their products, have been selling their products to the wholesalers in cities / food processing units directly instead of selling to local agents. By doing so they have been reaping very results and have been enjoying the tax benefits, which are not available to non agriculture sector.
50% MSP of the crop need to increase by government to stop farmer suicide can reduce farmer suicide. Daily farming also become main source of income in village need to encourage by giving animal like cow , buffalo on less rate who don't have land for agriculture land to survive because in village there is no job. They can sell milk to get income.
Marginal farmer getting loans from money lender on high interest rate easily even they don't have income reason is clear private moneylender have eye on farmer agriculture land want to capture. Without income or very less income farmer still getting heavy loan. Moneylender, bank gives loan based on agriculture land custody to grab farmer land. Most of the farmer taken more money as loan, from generated income they can pay only interest of money per annum. Hence principle money never reduced to pay loan completely by the time family increases, inflation expenses increases hence they come in situation trap they can't come out in future. Many rich people have money in village they want to capture poor farmer land by giving loan to farmer is become trend. Most of the farmer have very less land if crop failed then they don't have any other option to survive is also one of the reason. some of the farmer become addicted to alcohol creates tension in family is also one of the reason. Many farmer not getting better treatment when they get decease which is costly to treat, Majority of the problem are related to bad financial health of farmer getting bad day by day. Farmer need addition source of income apart from farming to reduced suicide. Many farmer can't do marriage of their daughter due to bad financial condition is root cause of many other problem need to solve by society & government.

Due to the active presence of peasants in the field and personnel in the line of defense we are breathing the air and in taking the calories in order to get ready for next challenges not due to the lavishness of ministers and so called leaders irrespective of
the deaths due to bankruptcy/indebtness 1163 death due to family related issues 1135 i think the 2nd problem is highly correlated with the first one. because usually lack of finance in the household causes a lot a strain on the head of the house. these two therefore cannot be shown separately. the figure thus becomes 2298 . what are these farming related issue which drive the farmer to suicide? it trickles down to money . and hence this too must not be considered separately . the figure therefore becomes 3267. if the farmer is a poor manager of fiance it is a different matter all together. but the fact is the farmer while working under the constant threats of nature must endure the pricing policy of the govt, lack of labour the cause of which is the govt policy and the subsidised food schemes. organic food which is being tried by certain farmers is producing results but we still need a perfect market condition for it to go full steam.

Farmers are now a days dependent on tractor mainly due to shortage of labour(some states labour problem is due to free rice -free food schemes offered by state Govts).Further when a farmer buys a tractor he is being over charged(Govt can see the incentives offered to farmers by tractor dealers to the tune of 50000/= plus by increasing the cost of the tractor and dealer also makes around one lac per tractor plus money on trailor and agri implements,hence farmers has to go for a loan of higher amount and at a later stage farmer can not repay the loan and left with the option of suicide.Now a days most of the financers/bankers offer tractor loan against land holding of 2-4 acres but a farmer do not earn on that land holdings--Government has to come forward to make a guidelines for banks or private financers that no loan to be given below 7-8 acres of land documents(borrowers).NABARD has done studies on viability for tractor/trailor loan.Secondly Government should also monitor/control the DNP/MRP of tractors(In case of both Companies as well as dealers are making huge money by forcing a farmers to buy a tractor of higher cost .Tractor is the only automobile whose rates have gone up drastically as compared to other automobiles.There may be other factors like small money lenders(rate of interest like 3-4 percent per month--ie36-48 percent per year. Also during drought type situation, due to repayment of loan EMI, farmer tend to commit suicide. Govt should come out with come policy.
