Abstract

The Indian peasantry is the largest body of surviving small farmers in the world. India is the largest agricultural country in the world. This sector provides our food requirements as well as raw material to our industries. Agriculture is the backbone of Indian economy. It provides employment opportunities in agricultural sector, industrial sector and service sector. Today, it faces the crises of extinction. The issue of farmers’ suicide in rural India became a subject of major policy concern and is much debated both at the central as well as state government levels. The majority of the farmers’ suicides are concerned with indebtedness and poverty. Many farmers’ in the state took this extreme step of committing suicide. This phenomenon of farmers’ suicides has been termed as the agrarian distress. All the Indian states realised that indebtedness is a major problem in the rural economy, as Indian Government should make adequate formal credit facilities here. Most of the state farmers are facing inadequate expansion of credit facilities and poor access to these facilities has made the farmers, especially small and marginal ones, to resort the informal credit agencies. As NSSO survey revealed that about 68.6 percent of the total loan taken by the farmers is from informal credit market. The second major reason for committing suicide is drought and crop failure. For instance, there are sufficient rains during kharif season, while there is no rain in the rabi season. Besides this in some of the years, there has been scarcity of rains in both the seasons and no rains during the whole season due to these reason agricultural crops fail and increase indebtedness. Finally, the farmers are commit suicides in India.
