&lt;em&gt;In Drought-Struck Odisha, Aid Fails To Stop Farmers Suicides&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Khurda, Odisha: &lt;/em&gt;After her husband Abhimanyu, a 52-year-old farmer in Odisha&#039;s Khurda district, committed suicide by consuming poison last month, Pratima Baliarsingh is yet to recover from the trauma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pratima, 45, now has to repay an almost two lakh rupee-loan that her husband took from various banks and villagers.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The district administration gave her a cheque of Rs. 20,000 after her husband&#039;s death but the amount is not sufficient to support her two sons and an ailing father-in-law, she said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;He took this extreme step due to crop loss and loan burden. He had taken loans from various banks and villagers and ended his life as he couldn&#039;t repay them,&amp;quot; said Pratima.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Abhimanyu is among the 41 farmer deaths reported in Odisha in the last two months.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deficit rainfall this year has affected yield in most parts of the state, prompting the government to declare 139 blocks in 21 districts as drought-hit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While western Odisha remains worst hit, Bargarh district has so far recorded maximum cases of farmer suicides at 15.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Farming is our only livelihood. If after investing money in agriculture, we don&#039;t get returns, we will be forced to commit suicide,&amp;quot; Banabar Balbantrai, farmer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier this month, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik announced a Rs. 1,000 crore-relief package for the affected farmers, also waiving off the water tax and ordered stoppage of loan collection in drought-hit areas, but the steps have so far not stalled the farmer suicides.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Amid the escalating crisis, both Odisha government&#039;s Special Relief Commissioner GVV Sarma and Agriculture Minister Pradeep Maharati refused to comment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;No reaction. Ask the SRC,&amp;quot; Mr Maharathi said when asked for a comment by NDTV. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Khurda, Odisha: &lt;/em&gt;After her husband Abhimanyu, a 52-year-old farmer in Odisha&#039;s Khurda district, committed suicide by consuming poison last month, Pratima Baliarsingh is yet to recover from the trauma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pratima, 45, now has to repay an almost two lakh rupee-loan that her husband took from various banks and villagers.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The district administration gave her a cheque of Rs. 20,000 after her husband&#039;s death but the amount is not sufficient to support her two sons and an ailing father-in-law, she said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;He took this extreme step due to crop loss and loan burden. He had taken loans from various banks and villagers and ended his life as he couldn&#039;t repay them,&amp;quot; said Pratima.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Abhimanyu is among the 41 farmer deaths reported in Odisha in the last two months.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deficit rainfall this year has affected yield in most parts of the state, prompting the government to declare 139 blocks in 21 districts as drought-hit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While western Odisha remains worst hit, Bargarh district has so far recorded maximum cases of farmer suicides at 15.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Farming is our only livelihood. If after investing money in agriculture, we don&#039;t get returns, we will be forced to commit suicide,&amp;quot; Banabar Balbantrai, farmer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier this month, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik announced a Rs. 1,000 crore-relief package for the affected farmers, also waiving off the water tax and ordered stoppage of loan collection in drought-hit areas, but the steps have so far not stalled the farmer suicides.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Pratima, 45, now has to repay an almost two lakh rupee-loan that her husband took from various banks and villagers.&lt;br /&gt;

The district administration gave her a cheque of Rs. 20,000 after her husband&#039;s death but the amount is not sufficient to support her two sons and an ailing father-in-law, she said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Abhimanyu is among the 41 farmer deaths reported in Odisha in the last two months.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deficit rainfall this year has affected yield in most parts of the state, prompting the government to declare 139 blocks in 21 districts as drought-hit.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;In Drought-Struck Odisha, Aid Fails To Stop Farmers Suicides&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Khurda, Odisha: &lt;/em&gt;After her husband Abhimanyu, a 52-year-old farmer in Odisha&#039;s Khurda district, committed suicide by consuming poison last month, Pratima Baliarsingh is yet to recover from the trauma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pratima, 45, now has to repay an almost two lakh rupee-loan that her husband took from various banks and villagers.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The district administration gave her a cheque of Rs. 20,000 after her husband&#039;s death but the amount is not sufficient to support her two sons and an ailing father-in-law, she said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;He took this extreme step due to crop loss and loan burden. He had taken loans from various banks and villagers and ended his life as he couldn&#039;t repay them,&amp;quot; said Pratima.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Abhimanyu is among the 41 farmer deaths reported in Odisha in the last two months.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deficit rainfall this year has affected yield in most parts of the state, prompting the government to declare 139 blocks in 21 districts as drought-hit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While western Odisha remains worst hit, Bargarh district has so far recorded maximum cases of farmer suicides at 15.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Farming is our only livelihood. If after investing money in agriculture, we don&#039;t get returns, we will be forced to commit suicide,&amp;quot; Banabar Balbantrai, farmer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier this month, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik announced a Rs. 1,000 crore-relief package for the affected farmers, also waiving off the water tax and ordered stoppage of loan collection in drought-hit areas, but the steps have so far not stalled the farmer suicides.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Amid the escalating crisis, both Odisha government&#039;s Special Relief Commissioner GVV Sarma and Agriculture Minister Pradeep Maharati refused to comment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;No reaction. Ask the SRC,&amp;quot; Mr Maharathi said when asked for a comment by NDTV. &lt;br /&gt;

<br />
Khurda, Odisha: </em>After her husband Abhimanyu, a 52-year-old farmer in Odisha's Khurda district, committed suicide by consuming poison last month, Pratima Baliarsingh is yet to recover from the trauma.<br />
<br />
Pratima, 45, now has to repay an almost two lakh rupee-loan that her husband took from various banks and villagers.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The district administration gave her a cheque of Rs. 20,000 after her husband's death but the amount is not sufficient to support her two sons and an ailing father-in-law, she said.<br />
<br />
&quot;He took this extreme step due to crop loss and loan burden. He had taken loans from various banks and villagers and ended his life as he couldn't repay them,&quot; said Pratima.<br />
<br />
Abhimanyu is among the 41 farmer deaths reported in Odisha in the last two months.<br />
<br />
Deficit rainfall this year has affected yield in most parts of the state, prompting the government to declare 139 blocks in 21 districts as drought-hit.<br />
<br />
While western Odisha remains worst hit, Bargarh district has so far recorded maximum cases of farmer suicides at 15.<br />
<br />
&quot;Farming is our only livelihood. If after investing money in agriculture, we don't get returns, we will be forced to commit suicide,&quot; Banabar Balbantrai, farmer.<br />
<br />
Earlier this month, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik announced a Rs. 1,000 crore-relief package for the affected farmers, also waiving off the water tax and ordered stoppage of loan collection in drought-hit areas, but the steps have so far not stalled the farmer suicides.<br />
<br />
Amid the escalating crisis, both Odisha government's Special Relief Commissioner GVV Sarma and Agriculture Minister Pradeep Maharati refused to comment.<br />
<br />
&quot;No reaction. Ask the SRC,&quot; Mr Maharathi said when asked for a comment by NDTV. <br />

In Drought-Struck Odisha, Aid Fails To Stop Farmers Suicides -Tazeen Qureshy

-NDTV In Drought-Struck Odisha, Aid Fails To Stop Farmers Suicides Khurda, Odisha: After her husband Abhimanyu, a 52-year-old farmer in Odisha's Khurda district, committed suicide by consuming poison last month, Pratima Baliarsingh is yet to recover from the trauma.
