About the Book

Suicides Among Farmers by R. M. Mohan Rao presents a critical and research-based study of one of the most pressing social issues affecting rural India. The book examines the alarming rise in farmer suicides and investigates the socio-economic, agricultural, and policy-related factors contributing to this tragic phenomenon.

Focusing particularly on cotton-growing regions, the author analyzes issues such as rising input costs, crop failures, debt burdens, market fluctuations, and the impact of agricultural policies. Through data, field studies, and analytical discussion, the book highlights the vulnerabilities faced by small and marginal farmers.

The study also explores the broader implications of agrarian distress on rural society and emphasizes the need for effective policy measures, institutional support, and sustainable agricultural practices. By examining the intersection of economic pressures and social challenges, the book provides valuable insights into the complexities of rural livelihoods.

Suicides Among Farmers is an important resource for researchers, policymakers, students of rural development, and readers interested in agricultural economics and social issues in India.
