About the Book

Farmers’ Suicides in India: Impact on Women by Dr. B. Ratna Kumari presents a focused study on the social and psychological consequences of agrarian distress, particularly its impact on women in rural communities. The book examines how the tragedy of farmer suicides affects families, especially the wives and female members who are often left to cope with economic hardship, emotional trauma, and social challenges.

Through research and analysis, the author explores the factors contributing to farmer suicides, including debt burdens, crop failures, financial instability, and pressures within the agricultural sector. The study highlights how these crises reshape family structures and place additional responsibilities on women, who must manage households, livelihoods, and social expectations.

The book also discusses issues such as gender inequality, access to resources, and the limited institutional support available to affected families. By focusing on women’s experiences, the work brings attention to an often overlooked dimension of rural distress.

Farmers’ Suicides in India: Impact on Women is a valuable resource for readers interested in rural development, gender studies, sociology, and the socio-economic challenges facing India’s agricultural communities.
