Punjab Govt looks other way, says no record of landless agri workers&amp;rsquo; debt&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chandigarh: &lt;/em&gt;While the Punjab Government dithers on providing debt relief to landless labourers, a new report suggests the number of suicides committed by landless agricultural labourers due to debt is much higher than those by farmers in the state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;ldquo;census report&amp;rdquo; commissioned by the Punjab Government on rural suicides takes into account incidences between 2010 and 2016 in seven districts of the state. The report prepared by Punjabi University, Patiala, is based on a field survey of Faridkot, Fatehgarh Sahib, Hoshiarpur, Patiala, Rupnagar, SAS Nagar and Muktsar districts. Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, and Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, are preparing another report on the remaining districts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The report suggests 737 cases of suicides &amp;mdash; 397 (53.87 per cent) by landless agricultural labourers and 340 (46.13 per cent) by farmers &amp;mdash; were reported in these seven districts. Most of the victims belonged to the younger and middle-age groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an earlier report of the same districts, landless agricultural labourers accounted for 46 per cent of the total rural suicides between 2000 and 2009.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The latest report indicates an almost 8 per cent rise in the number of suicides by landless farm labourers. Of these, 88.38 per cent suicides were due to debt and 11.62 because of other reasons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Experts say different studies over the past decade point towards a crisis involving landless farm labourers but successive governments have failed to take note.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In 2007, we had submitted a report on the status of local farm labourers. It pointed out that 70 per cent of the labourers were in debt. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But those findings were never used in policy formulation.&amp;nbsp; Had the government acted timely, several lives could have been saved,&amp;rdquo; says Prof Lakhwinder Singh, head, economics, Punjabi University, Patiala, who is one of the authors of the report. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other authors are Sukhwinder Singh, Kesar Singh Bhangoo and Jaswinder Singh Brar.&lt;br /&gt;

The report prepared by Punjabi University, Patiala, is based on a field survey of Faridkot, Fatehgarh Sahib, Hoshiarpur, Patiala, Rupnagar, SAS Nagar and Muktsar districts. Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, and Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, are preparing another report on the remaining districts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The report suggests 737 cases of suicides &amp;mdash; 397 (53.87 per cent) by landless agricultural labourers and 340 (46.13 per cent) by farmers &amp;mdash; were reported in these seven districts. Most of the victims belonged to the younger and middle-age groups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an earlier report of the same districts, landless agricultural labourers accounted for 46 per cent of the total rural suicides between 2000 and 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The latest report indicates an almost 8 per cent rise in the number of suicides by landless farm labourers. Of these, 88.38 per cent suicides were due to debt and 11.62 because of other reasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Experts say different studies over the past decade point towards a crisis involving landless farm labourers but successive governments have failed to take note.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;In 2007, we had submitted a report on the status of local farm labourers. It pointed out that 70 per cent of the labourers were in debt. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But those findings were never used in policy formulation.&amp;nbsp; Had the government acted timely, several lives could have been saved,&amp;rdquo; says Prof Lakhwinder Singh, head, economics, Punjabi University, Patiala, who is one of the authors of the report. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other authors are Sukhwinder Singh, Kesar Singh Bhangoo and Jaswinder Singh Brar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/nation/report-more-farm-labourers-killing-self-than-farmers/432050.html&quot; title=&quot;http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/nation/report-more-farm-labourers-killing-self-than-farmers/432050.html&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

Punjab Govt looks other way, says no record of landless agri workers&amp;rsquo; debt&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chandigarh: &lt;/em&gt;While the Punjab Government dithers on providing debt relief to landless labourers, a new report suggests the number of suicides committed by landless agricultural labourers due to debt is much higher than those by farmers in the state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;ldquo;census report&amp;rdquo; commissioned by the Punjab Government on rural suicides takes into account incidences between 2010 and 2016 in seven districts of the state. The report prepared by Punjabi University, Patiala, is based on a field survey of Faridkot, Fatehgarh Sahib, Hoshiarpur, Patiala, Rupnagar, SAS Nagar and Muktsar districts. Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, and Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, are preparing another report on the remaining districts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The report suggests 737 cases of suicides &amp;mdash; 397 (53.87 per cent) by landless agricultural labourers and 340 (46.13 per cent) by farmers &amp;mdash; were reported in these seven districts. Most of the victims belonged to the younger and middle-age groups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an earlier report of the same districts, landless agricultural labourers accounted for 46 per cent of the total rural suicides between 2000 and 2009.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The latest report indicates an almost 8 per cent rise in the number of suicides by landless farm labourers. Of these, 88.38 per cent suicides were due to debt and 11.62 because of other reasons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Experts say different studies over the past decade point towards a crisis involving landless farm labourers but successive governments have failed to take note.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In 2007, we had submitted a report on the status of local farm labourers. It pointed out that 70 per cent of the labourers were in debt. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But those findings were never used in policy formulation.&amp;nbsp; Had the government acted timely, several lives could have been saved,&amp;rdquo; says Prof Lakhwinder Singh, head, economics, Punjabi University, Patiala, who is one of the authors of the report. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other authors are Sukhwinder Singh, Kesar Singh Bhangoo and Jaswinder Singh Brar.&lt;br /&gt;

Report: More farm labourers killing self than farmers -Vishav Bharti

-The Tribune Punjab Govt looks other way, says no record of landless agri workers’ debt Chandigarh: While the Punjab Government dithers on providing debt relief to landless labourers, a new report suggests the number of suicides committed by landless agricultural labourers due to debt is much higher than those by farmers in the state. The “census report” commissioned by the Punjab Government on rural suicides takes into account incidences between 2010 and 2016 in seven districts of the state. The report prepared by Punjabi University, Patiala, is based on a field survey of Faridkot, Fatehgarh Sahib, Hoshiarpur, Patiala, Rupnagar, SAS Nagar and Muktsar districts. Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, and Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, are preparing another report on the remaining districts. The report suggests 737 cases of suicides — 397 (53.87 per cent) by landless agricultural labourers and 340 (46.13 per cent) by farmers — were reported in these seven districts. Most of the victims belonged to the younger and middle-age groups. In an earlier report of the same districts, landless agricultural labourers accounted for 46 per cent of the total rural suicides between 2000 and 2009. The latest report indicates an almost 8 per cent rise in the number of suicides by landless farm labourers. Of these, 88.38 per cent suicides were due to debt and 11.62 because of other reasons. Experts say different studies over the past decade point towards a crisis involving landless farm labourers but successive governments have failed to take note. “In 2007, we had submitted a report on the status of local farm labourers. It pointed out that 70 per cent of the labourers were in debt. But those findings were never used in policy formulation.  Had the government acted timely, several lives could have been saved,” says Prof Lakhwinder Singh, head, economics, Punjabi University, Patiala, who is one of the authors of the report. The other authors are Sukhwinder Singh, Kesar Singh Bhangoo and Jaswinder Singh Brar. Please click here to read more.
