Farmers' Suicide in India

The position of farmers in India is becoming questionable as the time is passing by. India is developing in all the aspects but there is no significant decline in the suicides committed by the farmers in the country. The 'real heroes' of our nation that are 'farmers and soldiers' are now been forgotten and the 'fake heroes' of the bollywood are now been worshipped. If the prices of agricultural commodities increase, everyone starts complaining but no one bothers about spending so much on branded clothes and watching movies in the theatres. The paper focuses on the reasons behind the farmers of India are committing suicide and some of the steps that should be taken by the government in order to minimize the cases of farmer suicide. The government has made it a political issue rather than an issue worth considering. It also focuses on advantages of agriculture in a developing nation like India and its contribution to the economic growth of our country.
