I am doing some research in profiling such farmers through interaction with their families and using some other qualitative research techniques in Punjab. Through this I aspire to build a prediction model for financial institutions or other credit agencies so that they could identify the high risk profiles and reduce delinquency and also discourage unproductive borrowings. If any similar work has been undertaken or some model is being used by credit agencies then I would be glad to know about them.
I don't know this area, but your question got me interested. Have you seen the article at the link here http://issues.org/30-2/keith/ on the GMO/Suicide Myth?
There is also the book, already dated, Farmers Suicide: Facts & Possible Policy Interventions, By Meeta, Rajivlochan
