Abstract

Addressing the issue of agrarian crisis in India in general, the article explores the particularities of the distress emphasising some of the crucial aspects of burden of indebtedness that often leads to farmers’ suicide. Following a narrative approach, it analyses the relationship between some of the shocking figures related to agriculture at large and some of the astounding field observations related to rising input prices, uncompetitive minimum support prices (MSPs), faulty cropping pattern, nature of indebtedness and lack of sufficient state support for the farmers.
