  • In Maharashtra, Suicide Figures Shoot Through The Roof

    Farmer suicides in Maharashtra are intensifying with as many as 1,088 cases reported in 2015 by the end of May. This is almost twice the figure reported just two months ago. Between January and March, the state government had reported 601 cases.The suicide rate had already begun climbing steeply with the onset of the drought last year which destroyed large swathes of crops. The unseasonal rain and hailstorms made the crisis worse.

      The problem with the people are their inability face difficult situations. Added to this suicide by one farmer may become a idea in case of others in distress. People have survived the greatest famine and survived withstanding in the past. Farmers counselling centres needs to be set up.
