While all the sectors getting improved worldwide, what is the reason of the farmers be run down from their states even though food is our daily essential.
Actually all sectors in complex societies are not being improved. Inequalities abound. I don't know the situation of India's farmers, but I can suggest some relevant questions that may be helpful. What is their predominant caste? What are their locations and what would be the dominant political party in these areas? What access to communication do they possess? What proportion of the population reliably vote.
I don't know the answers to these, but investigating them should be fruitful.
Good luck,

Indian farmers are not properly educated to utilize modern technologies. It's the fault of the Indian education system. In India, Agriculturists are not trained properly.
In agriculture modernisation is very much to do with the use of technology to get maximum benefit. Indian farmers do not get benefit because..... 1. Indian farmers are not educated and skilful to use modern technology. Agriculture in India is very much dependent on monsoon and weather condition, which is fluctuating often. 3. There is no Government subsidy for the farmers to cultivate their lands. 4. Majority of the farming population in India do not own land, they only work as coolies in the lands of the rich people. 5. Since majority of the Indian farmers are poor, they can't afford to avail modern technology and machines. 6. In most part of Indian territory people (Tribals and Dalits) are oriented towards subsistence economy and not market economy. So they do not feel the need of mass production.
As Douglas Raybeck highlights, the benefits of neoliberal globalization are not being shared equitably at all. These unprecedented financial disparities are a major problem all around the world including the United States. I would recommend reading Globalization and its Discontents and Making Globalization Work by Joseph Stiglitz.
Como en muchos lugares del mundo, los agricultores son un sector considerado por los gobiernos como "no prioritarios", por lo cual, quedan excluidos de las políticas nacionales. Además, en cada país, existe una amplia diversidad de segmentos campesinos, desde los pequeños hasta los agro exportadores. Las políticas gubernamentales se centran en los grandes agricultores con quienes no resulta difícil introducir nuevas tecnologías. El problema es que los minifundios sufren total descuido y quedan empobrecidos por un sistema para el cual no se los considera "rentables". Sugiero leer: "explotados y excluidos".
