This volume provides a comprehensive and detailed socio-economic
overview of agrarian distress in India which has manifested in the
suicides of farmers and agricultural labourers. Using empirical
research and field data from rural India, especially Punjab, this
book examines the underlying causes of farmer suicide and steps
which can mitigate the crisis. Covering nearly 1,400 rural
households, the research in this volume identifies the various
dimensions of the deepening crisis in agriculture and farming. It
categorises the factors of the problem across different regions and
estimates its extent and magnitude. In this updated edition the
authors focus on instances of political mobilization and collective
movements by farmers struggling to bring the issue of agrarian
distress to attention. The book also discusses the implementation
of state-waivered loans and compensations and their effect on the
farming community. Topical, comprehensive and rich in data, this
book will be valuable to scholars and researchers of political
economy, agricultural economics, South Asian politics, political
sociology and public policy.
