Farmer suicides have increased significantly and doubled in some regions where weather extremities incurred heavy losses

Farmer suicides in the Nanded district of Maharashtra’s Marathwada more than doubled since incessant rains caused severe crop damage in the region.

The suicide cases in Nanded jumped to 26 in August from eight in July, according to official estimates.

The total number of farmer suicides reported from the district in 2022 stood at 93 through August. And the officials have deemed 63 of these eligible for compensation of Rs one lakh.

There were 119 cases in the district in 2021 instead of 77 in 2020. And 65 of these farmers’ families received compensation.

So far, 661 farmers from the Marathwada region alone have ended their lives. Some 485 of these have received compensation from the state government.

The maximum number of cases was reported in August, accounting for 114, followed by 108 in June, 101 in March and 83 in July.

Devastating losses due to extreme weather combined with heavy loan debts have pushed the farmers to take such extreme steps.
