Financial burdens caused by climate change and government polices have led to an rise in the number of suicides among agricultural workers, experts say. The Maharashtra state has suffered more than most

New Delhi: In India, over 600 farmers in the region of Marathwada, Maharashtra state, have died from suicide this year, according to official figures, with a majority of deaths blamed on rains that damaged thousands of hectares of agricultural land.

And agricultural experts believe the death toll could be even higher.

The figure is almost certain to eventually exceed last year's official figure of 805 suicides across Marathwada's eight districts, and this was despite two consecutive state governments waiving farm loans in 2021.

Some 65% of the population living in this region are solely dependent on agriculture and allied activities for their livelihood and vocational needs. With climate change having drastic effects on crop production, many are beginning to suffer.
