India is an agriculture-based nation; still the situation of the farmers in this country is more worrying than in any other developing nations. Over the past nearly two decades, the trend of the farmers committing suicide in our country has been on the rise.

Farmers’ suicide has become a national problem in our country. Every other day we come across news about the farmers committing suicide in different parts of the country. Undoubtedly the farmers play an important role in the progress and development of the country, but still if they get prompted to end their lives due to any reason so far, it is a matter of grave concern.

Although the Government has been instrumental in running many farmer’s welfare schemes recently, but no considerable impact has been visible. Thus, for the Government to diagnose the root cause of this issue it is urgent to take appropriate steps without losing anymore time. It should introduce a new, simplified welfare schemes which may help the farmers in getting good base price for their crop, besides interest free loan for farming, among others.

The Government should support the farmers in all their activities attached to farming – from seeding to harvest. Against any eventualities, the Government should provide them guarantee for their crops, besides providing them economical land for farming as well. The Government should also provide them enough financial support to meet all their expenses in connection with farming. It should also ensure that their harvest reaches in the market directly without being affected by any hindrance created by the middlemen. Only if the government may ascertain all these supports, the complete happiness of the farmers can be ensured and they may avoid committing suicide at least due to this particular reason.
