The
current turmoil in Madhya Pradesh and farmers’ suicide forced to think about
the farmers’ situation. I tried to find out the reason and the solution of this
issue in India.
This problem
was persisting for a long time, farmers used to take their life due to drought,
huge pest problems and heavy production of the crops. After launching the
MNREGA program, commonly known as 100 days work, by Manmohan Singh-led UPA
Government made the situation worse. I will try to elaborate the reason step by
step.
To produce a
crop what are the factors involved- Water, Seeds, Fertilizers,
Pesticides, labor costs, Loans. Costs of all these factors are increased by
many folds.
