&lt;p&gt;In 2018, when Rekha Waghmare was 39 years old, her husband died by suicide. Namdev, 42, was among over 12,000 farmers who died by suicide in Maharashtra from 2015 to 2018, struggling with five years of crop failure. He left behind Rekha, their two children, a 3.5 acre farm, and an unpaid loan of Rs 4 lakh.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rekha, who lives in Nandusa village in Hingoli district, turned to farming and daily wage work. But she wasn&amp;rsquo;t too worried about feeding her children three meals a day because she received rations under the National Food Security Act. Under the act, the state government provided grains at subsidised rates to farmers in 14 suicide-prone districts: Aurangabad, Jalna, Beed, Nanded, Osmanabad, Parbhani, Latur, Hingoli, Amravati, Washim, Akola, Buldhana, Yawatmal and Warda.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Living in Hingoli, Rekha would get five kg of foodgrains for each member of the family per month. She&amp;rsquo;d buy wheat at Rs 2 per kg and rice at Rs 3 per kg.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But no longer. On February 28, 2023, the Maharashtra government passed a resolution saying the distribution of foodgrains under the act would be stopped in these 14 districts. Instead, each member of every household would get Rs 150 cash as a direct benefit transfer every month.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At least 10 women in these districts told Newslaundry they have similar concerns. They&amp;rsquo;re also worried that male relatives will spend the cash on drinks , leaving their children hungry. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Importantly, farmer suicides in the state increased in 2022 as compared to 2021 despite loan waiver schemes. Maharashtra recorded 1,875 farmer suicides in just eight months last year.&lt;/p&gt;

$disp = &#039;&lt;p&gt;Newslaundry&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 2018, when Rekha Waghmare was 39 years old, her husband died by suicide. Namdev, 42, was among over 12,000 farmers who died by suicide in Maharashtra from 2015 to 2018, struggling with five years of crop failure. He left behind Rekha, their two children, a 3.5 acre farm, and an unpaid loan of Rs 4 lakh.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rekha, who lives in Nandusa village in Hingoli district, turned to farming and daily wage work. But she wasn&amp;rsquo;t too worried about feeding her children three meals a day because she received rations under the National Food Security Act. Under the act, the state government provided grains at subsidised rates to farmers in 14 suicide-prone districts: Aurangabad, Jalna, Beed, Nanded, Osmanabad, Parbhani, Latur, Hingoli, Amravati, Washim, Akola, Buldhana, Yawatmal and Warda.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Living in Hingoli, Rekha would get five kg of foodgrains for each member of the family per month. She&amp;rsquo;d buy wheat at Rs 2 per kg and rice at Rs 3 per kg.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But no longer. On February 28, 2023, the Maharashtra government passed a resolution saying the distribution of foodgrains under the act would be stopped in these 14 districts. Instead, each member of every household would get Rs 150 cash as a direct benefit transfer every month.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At least 10 women in these districts told Newslaundry they have similar concerns. They&amp;rsquo;re also worried that male relatives will spend the cash on drinks , leaving their children hungry. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Importantly, farmer suicides in the state increased in 2022 as compared to 2021 despite loan waiver schemes. Maharashtra recorded 1,875 farmer suicides in just eight months last year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.newslaundry.com/2023/04/05/i-hope-we-dont-die-of-hunger-rural-women-struggle-as-maharashtra-ends-subsidised-grains-plan&quot; title=&quot;https://www.newslaundry.com/2023/04/05/i-hope-we-dont-die-of-hunger-rural-women-struggle-as-maharashtra-ends-subsidised-grains-plan&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more&lt;/p&gt;&#039;

&lt;p&gt;In 2018, when Rekha Waghmare was 39 years old, her husband died by suicide. Namdev, 42, was among over 12,000 farmers who died by suicide in Maharashtra from 2015 to 2018, struggling with five years of crop failure. He left behind Rekha, their two children, a 3.5 acre farm, and an unpaid loan of Rs 4 lakh.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rekha, who lives in Nandusa village in Hingoli district, turned to farming and daily wage work. But she wasn&amp;rsquo;t too worried about feeding her children three meals a day because she received rations under the National Food Security Act. Under the act, the state government provided grains at subsidised rates to farmers in 14 suicide-prone districts: Aurangabad, Jalna, Beed, Nanded, Osmanabad, Parbhani, Latur, Hingoli, Amravati, Washim, Akola, Buldhana, Yawatmal and Warda.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Living in Hingoli, Rekha would get five kg of foodgrains for each member of the family per month. She&amp;rsquo;d buy wheat at Rs 2 per kg and rice at Rs 3 per kg.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But no longer. On February 28, 2023, the Maharashtra government passed a resolution saying the distribution of foodgrains under the act would be stopped in these 14 districts. Instead, each member of every household would get Rs 150 cash as a direct benefit transfer every month.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At least 10 women in these districts told Newslaundry they have similar concerns. They&amp;rsquo;re also worried that male relatives will spend the cash on drinks , leaving their children hungry. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Importantly, farmer suicides in the state increased in 2022 as compared to 2021 despite loan waiver schemes. Maharashtra recorded 1,875 farmer suicides in just eight months last year.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>In 2018, when Rekha Waghmare was 39 years old, her husband died by suicide. Namdev, 42, was among over 12,000 farmers who died by suicide in Maharashtra from 2015 to 2018, struggling with five years of crop failure. He left behind Rekha, their two children, a 3.5 acre farm, and an unpaid loan of Rs 4 lakh.</p>

<p>Rekha, who lives in Nandusa village in Hingoli district, turned to farming and daily wage work. But she wasn&rsquo;t too worried about feeding her children three meals a day because she received rations under the National Food Security Act. Under the act, the state government provided grains at subsidised rates to farmers in 14 suicide-prone districts: Aurangabad, Jalna, Beed, Nanded, Osmanabad, Parbhani, Latur, Hingoli, Amravati, Washim, Akola, Buldhana, Yawatmal and Warda.</p>

<p>Living in Hingoli, Rekha would get five kg of foodgrains for each member of the family per month. She&rsquo;d buy wheat at Rs 2 per kg and rice at Rs 3 per kg.</p>

<p>But no longer. On February 28, 2023, the Maharashtra government passed a resolution saying the distribution of foodgrains under the act would be stopped in these 14 districts. Instead, each member of every household would get Rs 150 cash as a direct benefit transfer every month.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At least 10 women in these districts told Newslaundry they have similar concerns. They&rsquo;re also worried that male relatives will spend the cash on drinks , leaving their children hungry. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Importantly, farmer suicides in the state increased in 2022 as compared to 2021 despite loan waiver schemes. Maharashtra recorded 1,875 farmer suicides in just eight months last year.</p>
