The crisis is well known and has been written about for decades now. Government intervention has taken place but little has changed.

The Vidarbha region of Maharashtra consists of eleven districts: Akola, Amravati, Washim, Nagpur, Yavatmal, Wardha, Buldhana, Chandrapur, Bhandara, Gadchiroli and Gondia.

As of 2012, 65% of the population living in this region was solely dependent on agriculture and allied activities for their livelihood and vocational needs. This is due to two reasons:

a) the region has not received much industrial attention leading to underdevelopment of other alternative job opportunities – a fact true for most less developed agri-regions across India, and

b) lack of good infrastructure for developing agri-business for those engaged in farming. 

Being a largely agrarian economy, Vidarbha has over the years become notorious for reporting the highest number of cases of farmer suicides in the country. This region of 11 districts alone contributes to almost half of the cases from the entire state of Maharashtra.

The crisis has been well known and written about for decades now. Government intervention has happened but little has changed for farmers and their families on the ground.
