Report of NCRB India against Indian Farmers...

According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) of India, 5,579 farmers committed suicide in 2020. This is a decrease from 10,281 suicides in 2015. However, it is important to note that the NCRB data is based on police records and may not include all farmer suicides.

There are a number of factors that contribute to farmer suicides in India. These factors include:

• Debt: Many farmers are burdened with debt, which can lead to stress and financial hardship.

• Crop failure: Crop failure due to drought, floods, or pests can also lead to financial hardship and despair.

• Low prices for agricultural produce: Farmers often receive low prices for their produce, which can make it difficult for them to make a living.

• Lack of access to credit and insurance: Many farmers do not have access to credit and insurance, which can make them vulnerable to financial shocks.

• Mental health problems: Farmers are also at risk of mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety.

The government of India is taking a number of steps to address the issue of farmer suicides. These steps include:

• Providing financial assistance to farmers: The government is providing financial assistance to farmers through various schemes, such as the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-KISAN).

• Improving access to credit and insurance: The government is working to improve access to credit and insurance for farmers.

• Promoting sustainable agriculture practices: The government is promoting sustainable agriculture practices, such as organic farming, to help farmers reduce their costs and increase their incomes.

• Providing mental health support to farmers: The government is providing mental health support to farmers through various initiatives, such as the National Mental Health Program.

The 2023 farmer suicide report for India is not yet available. The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) of India releases the annual report on suicides in the country in September. Therefore, the 2023 farmer suicide report is expected to be released in September 2023.

It is important to note that the issue of farmer suicides is complex and there is no easy solution. However, the government of India is taking steps to address the issue and to improve the lives of farmers.
