Growing suicide rates in Maharashtra is more a social problem...the factors leading to such a psychological issue are the socio-economic factors..
Agriculture’s contribution to the Gross domestic produce in India has reduced from 56 per
cent in 1950-1 to 25 per cent in 2001-2 whereas as per the 2001 census 58 per cent of the
total workers are still dependent on agriculture either as cultivators or agricultural labourers.
This only shows that rural non-farm employment opportunities are limited and people in rural areas, who are dependent on farm sector are left with no employment and hence ,,this suicides...
In a study it was found that the suicide rates were high among the age group between 30-44 among males, the most productive age group in a society. Among females it was 15-29 years.

From 1995 to 2004, suicide deaths in Maharashtra increased from 11866 to 14729.
Psychological issue is only the final result of certain precipitating factors that lead to suicudes. In this study indebtedness was the most seriuos reason for suicide ..about 86%.
What does this show other than poverty and as a result frustration..
It is shocking when we see the govt's reaction towards giving compenstion to Hiraman Patil...
This study says that the reason that death of a family member driving to suicide is only 10%..
Govt should realise that there are lots of risk factors that aggravate each other, driving the farmers to opt for this extreme step..and also realise that all the factors are the result of poverty and indebtness...
This was the reccomendation given by the study bench

"Whether an individual is eligible/ineligible for
receiving compensation, the vulnerability of the surviving members of a household
increases and more so if the deceased happens to be one of the major income earners. In
fact, it would be appropriate to provide help to all suicide case households."
This was the study conducted by the govt..and not by any individual..then why do they give these lame excuses...

hi Kaipulla, are you the same one who is writing in Tamil kaipulla too?

Anyway, thank you for the farmers suicide article... have you heard of Dr. Vandhana Shiva?

she says this too;

...Dr. Vandana Shiva, Director, Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology has called the suicides of more than 40,000 farmers a genocide. This genocide is a result of deliberate policy imposed by the WTO and the World Bank, implemented by the Government, which is designed to destroy small farmers and transform Indian agriculture into large scale corporate industrial farming....
and more, the truth revealed in there is shocking... please visit this link and look for a title under"""Farmers' genocide """ you both Mangai and yourself will be amazed...
thangs again.

Welcom Mangai,

//மனிதர்களின் அடிப்படைத் தேவைகளான நிலம், உணவு, வேலை இது இருந்தாலே பல தற்கொலைகள் தவிர்க்கப்படலாம்.

Welcome orani,

//This genocide is a result of deliberate policy imposed by the WTO and the World Bank, implemented by the Government, which is designed to destroy small farmers and transform Indian agriculture into large scale corporate industrial farming//

Yes it is true,

Who will fight against this??

It is we should drive away the world exploiters out of our Mother India. and finally out of the world.

There are people who talks about adoring our mothers bossom with flowers while she is being sexually harassed by MNCs.

The chain of reform policies annouced by the govt follows the WTO aggreements it made with Imperialist countries.

They are like Pimps marketting their own mother and sisters....
++++++++

Thanks a Lot for the link you provided. I will read and will post the comemnt here itself or would write a new posting.

I know Vandana Shiva who actively participated in organising people against many anti people MNC activities. I admire her a lot and I have read her articles in 'Blue gold'.

But people like her's(see, I didn't dishonor her) that is NGO's activities are limited. They can expose and mobilise people against these atrocities. But for solution. they have no option. Hope yu didn't missunderstand me. If i am wrong please correct me.

Thanks a Lot,
Asuran.

Pulla,

As you know, even govt. projects once it is done in field how many findings are implemented in the field as it is required by research itself in the natural science. The findings are dumbed in the trash.

ஊர்கூடி தேர் இழுத்தால்தான் தேர் நகரும்.

//Moving that big machine// needs more hands and you could be one among them.

The //We need more ppl like you and mangai// could give well meaning if you also become one among the //more ppl//. :-))

What do you say??

Asuran

well Pulla, I am doing what I can do right now at this juncture. At least, writing about it like you do and talking about it whenever I got a chance.

For the rest of active service in the field i am waiting for the right time to brew in. Hope you do understand what I mean...

Knowledge is Power, feed with it as much as we could, later come forward with more wisdom.

You are welcome, Pulla.
