Lots of farmers are committing suicide in each year. State as well as Central Govt. are well aware about the fact, promises made but still it is going on. What are the issues behind? Is it techno-socio-economic or other things beyond control.Want to know more and suggests some intervention to stop or reduce it.
Dear Jayanta Kumar Das
This issue needs a comprehensive research about farmers living situations.
Since Bt Cotton is linked to farmer's suicide in India, therefore there is need to ban the cultivation of Bt cotton. Please take a look at the following references.

Corruption in Third World countries including India hitting hard to poors where no one cares. Corrupt Politicians makes policies according to their benefits and needs so their wealth would grow. Poor farmers who does all the hard work no one listen to them and gives them few Ruppes for their hard work so at the end they commit Suicide. Regards
