Some 5,563 agricultural labourers died by suicide in 2021, according to the latest report of the National Crime Records Bureau

Agriculture was said to be the sole bright spot for India’s gross domestic product growth, clocking a positive growth rate when other sectors fell to the pandemic during the last two years. But the growth did not translate much for agricultural labourers as at least one agricultural labourer died by suicide every two hours in 2021.

Some 5,563 agricultural labourers died by suicide in 2021, according to the latest report of the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB). The number of suicides increased by nine per cent from 2020 and by around 29 per cent from 2019.

Some 5,121 of the 5,563 suicides by agricultural labourers during 2021 were by males and 442 were by females.

The most suicides were reported from Maharashtra (1,424), followed by Karnataka (999) and Andhra Pradesh (584), according to the report Accidental Deaths and Suicides in India.

The data comes at a time when more farmers have become labourers and an average agricultural household depends more on wages than the farm.
