&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;The study &amp;lsquo;Agrarian distress: Why Vidarbha and Marathwada alone&amp;rsquo;, which aims to identify the causes behind the farm crisis in these regions, says top priority should be given to watershed strategies while planning mitigation measures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pune:&lt;/em&gt; Subsidies and debt waivers cannot resolve the agrarian crisis, according to a study by the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics (GIPE). The study &amp;lsquo;Agrarian distress: Why Vidarbha and Marathwada alone&amp;rsquo;, which aims to identify the causes behind the farm crisis in these regions, says top priority should be given to watershed strategies while planning mitigation measures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The researchers say as Marathwada is a water-stressed region with many districts receiving less than half of normal rainfall, top priority should be accorded to watershed strategies and water-saving technologies to effectively deal with the problem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maharashtra records the most number of suicides among farmers, mostly in the Vidarbha and Marathwada regions. Statistically, suicides per lakh hectare of net sown area is 26.35 in Vidarbha and Marathwada. For the rest of Maharashtra, the corresponding figure is 7.25.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Our main aim was to identify the causes of distress among the farmers in Vidarbha and Marathwada,&amp;rdquo; Sangeeta Shroff, Professor at the GIPE, told The Indian Express. The study has been published in the peer-reviewed Artha Vijnana, a quarterly journal of the GIPE.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2016, Vidarbha and Marathwada together accounted for 73.86 per cent of suicides among farmers in the state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shroff along with researchers Jayanti Kajale and Prashant Bansode collected primary data from 50 households, which had reported suicides in 2015-16, on various issues such as cropping pattern, cost of cultivation, sale price of produce and extent of indebtedness. &amp;ldquo;Besides agriculture we also looked at income from other sources,&amp;rdquo; Shroff said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cropping pattern of these households showed that soyabean and cotton were the major crops and constituted 62.78 per cent of their gross cropped area. Taking together both kharif and rabi foodgrains, they constituted 33.63 per cent of gross cropped area with cereals constituting 20.40 per cent and pulses 13.23 per cent of the area. Some farmers cultivated horticultural crops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Net returns to farmers indicated farming was unremunerative and unviable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Farmers made losses from all crops except gram and horticultural crops. Maximum loss was from kharif jowar followed by bajra. Looking across all crops, the net returns were negative: Rs 27,301 per acre and Rs 32,716 per household, the study says.&lt;br /&gt;

The researchers say as Marathwada is a water-stressed region with many districts receiving less than half of normal rainfall, top priority should be accorded to watershed strategies and water-saving technologies to effectively deal with the problem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maharashtra records the most number of suicides among farmers, mostly in the Vidarbha and Marathwada regions. Statistically, suicides per lakh hectare of net sown area is 26.35 in Vidarbha and Marathwada. For the rest of Maharashtra, the corresponding figure is 7.25.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;ldquo;Our main aim was to identify the causes of distress among the farmers in Vidarbha and Marathwada,&amp;rdquo; Sangeeta Shroff, Professor at the GIPE, told The Indian Express. The study has been published in the peer-reviewed Artha Vijnana, a quarterly journal of the GIPE.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2016, Vidarbha and Marathwada together accounted for 73.86 per cent of suicides among farmers in the state.&lt;br /&gt;

Some farmers cultivated horticultural crops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Net returns to farmers indicated farming was unremunerative and unviable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Farmers made losses from all crops except gram and horticultural crops. Maximum loss was from kharif jowar followed by bajra. Looking across all crops, the net returns were negative: Rs 27,301 per acre and Rs 32,716 per household, the study says.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;The study &amp;lsquo;Agrarian distress: Why Vidarbha and Marathwada alone&amp;rsquo;, which aims to identify the causes behind the farm crisis in these regions, says top priority should be given to watershed strategies while planning mitigation measures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pune:&lt;/em&gt; Subsidies and debt waivers cannot resolve the agrarian crisis, according to a study by the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics (GIPE). The study &amp;lsquo;Agrarian distress: Why Vidarbha and Marathwada alone&amp;rsquo;, which aims to identify the causes behind the farm crisis in these regions, says top priority should be given to watershed strategies while planning mitigation measures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The researchers say as Marathwada is a water-stressed region with many districts receiving less than half of normal rainfall, top priority should be accorded to watershed strategies and water-saving technologies to effectively deal with the problem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maharashtra records the most number of suicides among farmers, mostly in the Vidarbha and Marathwada regions. Statistically, suicides per lakh hectare of net sown area is 26.35 in Vidarbha and Marathwada. For the rest of Maharashtra, the corresponding figure is 7.25.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Our main aim was to identify the causes of distress among the farmers in Vidarbha and Marathwada,&amp;rdquo; Sangeeta Shroff, Professor at the GIPE, told The Indian Express. The study has been published in the peer-reviewed Artha Vijnana, a quarterly journal of the GIPE.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2016, Vidarbha and Marathwada together accounted for 73.86 per cent of suicides among farmers in the state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shroff along with researchers Jayanti Kajale and Prashant Bansode collected primary data from 50 households, which had reported suicides in 2015-16, on various issues such as cropping pattern, cost of cultivation, sale price of produce and extent of indebtedness. &amp;ldquo;Besides agriculture we also looked at income from other sources,&amp;rdquo; Shroff said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cropping pattern of these households showed that soyabean and cotton were the major crops and constituted 62.78 per cent of their gross cropped area. Taking together both kharif and rabi foodgrains, they constituted 33.63 per cent of gross cropped area with cereals constituting 20.40 per cent and pulses 13.23 per cent of the area. Some farmers cultivated horticultural crops.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;The study &amp;lsquo;Agrarian distress: Why Vidarbha and Marathwada alone&amp;rsquo;, which aims to identify the causes behind the farm crisis in these regions, says top priority should be given to watershed strategies while planning mitigation measures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pune:&lt;/em&gt; Subsidies and debt waivers cannot resolve the agrarian crisis, according to a study by the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics (GIPE). The study &amp;lsquo;Agrarian distress: Why Vidarbha and Marathwada alone&amp;rsquo;, which aims to identify the causes behind the farm crisis in these regions, says top priority should be given to watershed strategies while planning mitigation measures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The researchers say as Marathwada is a water-stressed region with many districts receiving less than half of normal rainfall, top priority should be accorded to watershed strategies and water-saving technologies to effectively deal with the problem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maharashtra records the most number of suicides among farmers, mostly in the Vidarbha and Marathwada regions. Statistically, suicides per lakh hectare of net sown area is 26.35 in Vidarbha and Marathwada. For the rest of Maharashtra, the corresponding figure is 7.25.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Our main aim was to identify the causes of distress among the farmers in Vidarbha and Marathwada,&amp;rdquo; Sangeeta Shroff, Professor at the GIPE, told The Indian Express. The study has been published in the peer-reviewed Artha Vijnana, a quarterly journal of the GIPE.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2016, Vidarbha and Marathwada together accounted for 73.86 per cent of suicides among farmers in the state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shroff along with researchers Jayanti Kajale and Prashant Bansode collected primary data from 50 households, which had reported suicides in 2015-16, on various issues such as cropping pattern, cost of cultivation, sale price of produce and extent of indebtedness. &amp;ldquo;Besides agriculture we also looked at income from other sources,&amp;rdquo; Shroff said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cropping pattern of these households showed that soyabean and cotton were the major crops and constituted 62.78 per cent of their gross cropped area. Taking together both kharif and rabi foodgrains, they constituted 33.63 per cent of gross cropped area with cereals constituting 20.40 per cent and pulses 13.23 per cent of the area. Some farmers cultivated horticultural crops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Net returns to farmers indicated farming was unremunerative and unviable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Farmers made losses from all crops except gram and horticultural crops. Maximum loss was from kharif jowar followed by bajra. Looking across all crops, the net returns were negative: Rs 27,301 per acre and Rs 32,716 per household, the study says.&lt;br /&gt;

<br />
Pune:</em> Subsidies and debt waivers cannot resolve the agrarian crisis, according to a study by the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics (GIPE). The study &lsquo;Agrarian distress: Why Vidarbha and Marathwada alone&rsquo;, which aims to identify the causes behind the farm crisis in these regions, says top priority should be given to watershed strategies while planning mitigation measures.<br />
<br />
The researchers say as Marathwada is a water-stressed region with many districts receiving less than half of normal rainfall, top priority should be accorded to watershed strategies and water-saving technologies to effectively deal with the problem.<br />
<br />
Maharashtra records the most number of suicides among farmers, mostly in the Vidarbha and Marathwada regions. Statistically, suicides per lakh hectare of net sown area is 26.35 in Vidarbha and Marathwada. For the rest of Maharashtra, the corresponding figure is 7.25.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Our main aim was to identify the causes of distress among the farmers in Vidarbha and Marathwada,&rdquo; Sangeeta Shroff, Professor at the GIPE, told The Indian Express. The study has been published in the peer-reviewed Artha Vijnana, a quarterly journal of the GIPE.<br />
<br />
In 2016, Vidarbha and Marathwada together accounted for 73.86 per cent of suicides among farmers in the state.<br />
<br />
Shroff along with researchers Jayanti Kajale and Prashant Bansode collected primary data from 50 households, which had reported suicides in 2015-16, on various issues such as cropping pattern, cost of cultivation, sale price of produce and extent of indebtedness. &ldquo;Besides agriculture we also looked at income from other sources,&rdquo; Shroff said.<br />
<br />
The cropping pattern of these households showed that soyabean and cotton were the major crops and constituted 62.78 per cent of their gross cropped area. Taking together both kharif and rabi foodgrains, they constituted 33.63 per cent of gross cropped area with cereals constituting 20.40 per cent and pulses 13.23 per cent of the area. Some farmers cultivated horticultural crops.<br />
<br />
Net returns to farmers indicated farming was unremunerative and unviable.<br />
<br />
Farmers made losses from all crops except gram and horticultural crops. Maximum loss was from kharif jowar followed by bajra. Looking across all crops, the net returns were negative: Rs 27,301 per acre and Rs 32,716 per household, the study says.<br />

Agrarian distress in Vidarbha, Marathwada: subsidies, debt waivers no solution to farm crisis, prioritise watershed strategies, says study -Anuradha Mascarenhas

-The Indian Express The study ‘Agrarian distress: Why Vidarbha and Marathwada alone’, which aims to identify the causes behind the farm crisis in these regions, says top priority should be given to watershed strategies while planning mitigation measures. Pune: Subsidies and debt waivers cannot resolve the agrarian crisis, according to a study by the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics (GIPE). The study ‘Agrarian distress: Why Vidarbha and Marathwada alone’, which aims to identify the causes behind the farm crisis in these regions, says top priority should be given to watershed strategies while planning mitigation measures. The researchers say as Marathwada is a water-stressed region with many districts receiving less than half of normal rainfall, top priority should be accorded to watershed strategies and water-saving technologies to effectively deal with the problem. Maharashtra records the most number of suicides among farmers, mostly in the Vidarbha and Marathwada regions. Statistically, suicides per lakh hectare of net sown area is 26.35 in Vidarbha and Marathwada. For the rest of Maharashtra, the corresponding figure is 7.25. “Our main aim was to identify the causes of distress among the farmers in Vidarbha and Marathwada,” Sangeeta Shroff, Professor at the GIPE, told The Indian Express. The study has been published in the peer-reviewed Artha Vijnana, a quarterly journal of the GIPE. In 2016, Vidarbha and Marathwada together accounted for 73.86 per cent of suicides among farmers in the state. Shroff along with researchers Jayanti Kajale and Prashant Bansode collected primary data from 50 households, which had reported suicides in 2015-16, on various issues such as cropping pattern, cost of cultivation, sale price of produce and extent of indebtedness. “Besides agriculture we also looked at income from other sources,” Shroff said. The cropping pattern of these households showed that soyabean and cotton were the major crops and constituted 62.78 per cent of their gross cropped area. Taking together both kharif and rabi foodgrains, they constituted 33.63 per cent of gross cropped area with cereals constituting 20.40 per cent and pulses 13.23 per cent of the area. Some farmers cultivated horticultural crops. Net returns to farmers indicated farming was unremunerative and unviable. Farmers made losses from all crops except gram and horticultural crops.
