Studies shows that there is a direct
relationship between suicide and mental health. However, here in India, only a
few people talk about mental illness. And even fewer want to address it in the
context of farmer suicides. The major agrarian causes of farmers' distress in
the country include indebtedness, crop failure, drought, socio-economic and
personal conditions. Through this segment of the Cultivating Hope
campaign, we aspire to raise awareness about the adversities faced by farmers in
India and find ways to overcome challenges by adapting to solutions. Join hands
with our #FarmersForFuture
Movement and write in to us with your suggestions, for improving the current
state and future of our farmers.
