- The National Crime Record Bureau has released an alarming statistic. 1 agricultural labourer died by suicide every two hours. A total 1,64,033 people died of suicide in India 2021. The number amounts to 5563, which is a 9% increase from 2020 and a 29% increase from 2019. The highest numbers were recorded in Maharashtra(1424), Karnataka(999) and Andhra Pradesh(584).
In any agricultural household, the three sources of income are cultivation, livestock and daily wage. The household income for a farmer from cultivation declined from 48% in 2013 to 38% in 2021. Daily wage is the biggest contributor to household income. This is a fundamental change in the economy of these households. Apart from agricultural labourers, 5318 farmers also committed suicide taking the total number of people who died by suicide in the farming sector to 10,881 or 6.6% of total suicide victims. As per the NCRB report, certain states/UTs -- West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha,
Tripura, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Chandigarh, Lakshadweep, and
Puducherry -- reported zero suicides o f farmers/cultivators as well as agricultural labourers.
By 2023, India has promised to double its farmers’ incomes from 2015-16 levels. Considering the decline in the income from cultivation, this is unlikely to happen. Moreover, the economy has seen a slump since 2016 beginning with demonetisation. Then a two-year pandemic put a halt to job opportunities for everyone. This is when many daily wage laborers moved back to their villages and started earning a living as agricultural laborers. Daily wage earners accounted for 25% of suicides in the country, making it the largest profession wise.
Currently, the unemployment rate is one of the highest in decades. Agriculture is known to reduce rural poverty faster than the rate of economic growth. But as more people move to agricultural labor and income from cultivation reduces, agricultural income might not be enough anymore for poverty reduction. Agricultural produce has already suffered in India this year because of the heat waves.
Just FYI... they are talking about agriculture labourer.. Not the Farmers.. Labourer are generally people who belong to the lowest subcast of SC/ST group.. who still dont have their own land or money to buy one or money to eat properly... So they Work as Daily wagers at rich Farmers farms.. Who treat them like shit.. Even the Animals at theirs farms are treated better then those daily wagers
This can be changed if they are made aware of their rights and take benefits of reservation. But only some portion of people in SC/st are developing repeatedly generation after generation while many are still suffering
@@ns9878 so.. Whats your suggestion.. How they can be made aware.. bcz most of them are living in villages where even normal people are not aware
Only 20% of farmers are rich not all of them I have 10 acers land I am still paying 8000 interest for 4 lack every month past 5 years don't gave false statement without knowing anything and one of the labour lended me 1 lakh
Promise toh tha ki 2022 Tak farmer income double hogi
Double chhodo Kai jagah toh pehele se bhi kam ho gayi aur bahot jagah utni hi hai kaafi time se
Aur jaha badhi wo badhti mehngai ke mukaable bahot kam hai
MSP ka law hona chahiye
Soil regeneration and agroforestry are key for increasing farmer’s income. Sadhguru’s SaveSoil movement is about this. If more people are aware of the movement, it will motivate democratic governments to implement policies which will help farmers move in this direction.
This is alarming and sad. One of the key aspects of agriculture sector reform is their workforce or labourers’ upliftment. Without workforce most farmers will not be able to cultivate. In few years there will be no food producers left. In Binay Kumar words, "Ye peedhi aakhiri peedhi hai, iske baad koi kheti nahi karega. Khaoge kya khaak?" #agriculture #food #indianfarmers #farmers #sustainability #sustainabilitymatters #india #future #foodsecurity #farming
मँहगाई बढ़ने के कारण कृषि उत्पादन में लागत तो बढ़ गई उसके अनुसार फसल का उचित मूल्य नहीं मिल पा रहा है ! कृषि क्षेत्र का GDP में 17-18% योगदान है जबकि इसमे संलग्न जनसंख्या करीब 51% से भी ज्यादा है पहले इस मुद्दे पर सरकार को ध्यान देना चाहिए और साथ में प्राथमिक क्षेत्र में रोजगार के अवसर पैदा करना चाहिए!
Agricultural income might not be enough for poverty reduction... This is the most important thing to note, agricultural labour suicide rates not just affects the labour's but also the Agrarian human economics. India and developments seems little vague while picturing the human labour and capital. Solution might be creating and development fund for Agrarian Human Economics fostering developmental fund for BPL agricultural labour's and allowing and giving them chance in breaking the vicious cycle of poverty and live the life happily...
Don't suicide as it's wrong. Contact a psychologist and psychiatrist to know how and why as it is trained to explain you well.'
Thanks for covering their problems 🙏

Present solution required 😢
Still we are looking for IT sector's because there's scope.
Youth should consider it as a big obstacle in indian economy & find something way out.
This is sad 😢
Thank you down to earth for this topic
Vandana SHIVA's work in area of soil, seeds - patent - GMO, agriculture, land acquisition by big Corp, also something that covers deeper details of systematic soil degradation + agriculture landscape topic. Worth checking.
Very Sad
Sadly the one who feeds is the one who suffer. Very unfortunate to see this happening. My respect to all farmers 🙏
What is the solution?
*Solution*
1.May follow NITI aayog recommendation
A.Modernising agriculture (eg SMAM)
B.revamping policies & governance
C.creation of value chain & rural infra
2.bringing pvt player is inevitable but with good social net security & confidence building.
3.Need to bring behavioural change in the big landlords mindset
4.Farmer Grievance redressal MECHANISM (GRM)
5.Organic farming or ZBNF ( after reviewing sri Lanka's crisis )
6.Roadmap to expediate the agri by using the skill of reverse migrant.
7.credit based lending (proper social audit may go for all india agri service )
Jai jawan jai kisan & doubling agri income by 2024-25.
@@VladimirputinRuss after the recommendations of niti aayog were released in public domain, the govt of india tried to bring new farm laws as per the recommendations but was met with stiff resistance by a few percentage of farmers..the first thing we need to do is establish a consensus among all the farmers all over india in policy making.

#SaveSoil
Agroclimatic regionalization
Infrastructure development
Rationalisation of MSP
Formal credit availability
Market development
What you have more it's value get reduced, simple rule.. unfortunately we are overpopulated, we indians have started undervaluing our own people.. it is the plight of all poor people in india . I have seen some factories where labour do very hard, work working conditions are inhumane and pay is very less.
Just search the work related deaths at the the factories. Some are not even reported..i have seen people hitting rickshaw pullers on the road..
Hope we change as a society and start treating out people in a good way.
But as a caste ridden society how will that ever be possible?
