Socio-Political Problems in India with Special Reference to Farmers’ Suicide
Main Article Content
Abstract
Farmers’ suicide in India due to their pathetic conditions is a reality. In our country we need transformation induced by public policy, investments and technological change on the farmers’ access to resources and income aswell as the well-being of the farm households at the end of five decades of planned economic development. Shockingly, the net income is negative in AP, Haryana, Rajasthan and TamilNadu, i.e., the annual expenditure on cultivation is higher than the annualincome from cultivation. It is clear from the states that the farmers are in severe distress and the income that they get from all sources is not even enough to meet the consumption expenditure of the households. This study analyses the socio-political problems in India with special reference to farmers’ suicide.
