&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;MUMBAI: &lt;/em&gt;As many as 601 farmers have killed themselves in Maharashtra in the three-month span between January and March this year. This works out to a chilling statistic of almost seven farmer suicides every day, according to the state government&#039;s own figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2014, the state had reported 1,981 farmer suicides. In just three months this year, it has reached 30% of that figure. This despite the state government&#039;s claims that halting farmer suicides is its top priority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The suicide rate had already started climbing with the onset of the drought last year. The unseasonal rain which impacted a wide expanse of crops and continues to pound the state has made things worse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cotton belt of Vidarbha - from where chief minister Devendra Fadnavis hails - continues to report the highest number of cases, the data shows. More than half the suicides between January and March - 319 in all &amp;mdash; were from Vidarbha. The arid zone of Marathwada reported the second-highest number, with 215 cases. These regions were worst hit by the drought and have also been impacted by unseasonal rain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2014, the state reported the same trend. Of the 1,981 cases, the highest toll of 1,097 was from Vidarbha. Marathwada accounted for 574 cases, reporting a steep rise in suicides once the drought began. In December 2014, Marathwada reported 151 cases, the highest toll in the state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Farmers&#039; groups say the state&#039;s Rs 4,000 crore drought relief package translated into a very small sum per farmer since as many as 90 lakh farmers were impacted. &amp;quot;It works out to just around Rs 1,875 an acre. Also, banks continued to demand repayments from farmers despite instructions from the state to restructure loans,&amp;quot; said Kishor Tiwari of the Vidarbha Janandolan Samiti.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The low price of crops and the lack of bank credit to farmers - which underpin the larger crisis in the farm sector - have not been addressed by the government, he pointed out. &amp;quot;It costs Rs 6,800 to grow a quintal of cotton. The sale price fixed by the government is Rs 4,000. Even without a drought, farmers were in debt,&amp;quot; Tiwari said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The farm crisis preceded our government. We have announced a series of measures which will soon have an impact,&amp;quot; said state agriculture minister Eknath Khadse. The state hopes to boost water conservation through its Jalyukta Shivar Yojana. It has also drafted an action plan which includes restructuring bank loans and waiving loans worth Rs 171 crore from moneylenders. The state has also set up a committee to monitor vulnerable families and planned schemes to aid education and medical treatment for families of farmers.&lt;br /&gt;

This works out to a chilling statistic of almost seven farmer suicides every day, according to the state government's own figures.<br /><br />In 2014, the state had reported 1,981 farmer suicides. In just three months this year, it has reached 30% of that figure. This despite the state government's claims that halting farmer suicides is its top priority.<br /><br />The suicide rate had already started climbing with the onset of the drought last year. The unseasonal rain which impacted a wide expanse of crops and continues to pound the state has made things worse.<br /><br />The cotton belt of Vidarbha - from where chief minister Devendra Fadnavis hails - continues to report the highest number of cases, the data shows. More than half the suicides between January and March - 319 in all &mdash; were from Vidarbha. The arid zone of Marathwada reported the second-highest number, with 215 cases. These regions were worst hit by the drought and have also been impacted by unseasonal rain.<br /><br />In 2014, the state reported the same trend. Of the 1,981 cases, the highest toll of 1,097 was from Vidarbha. Marathwada accounted for 574 cases, reporting a steep rise in suicides once the drought began. In December 2014, Marathwada reported 151 cases, the highest toll in the state.<br /><br />Farmers' groups say the state's Rs 4,000 crore drought relief package translated into a very small sum per farmer since as many as 90 lakh farmers were impacted. &quot;It works out to just around Rs 1,875 an acre. Also, banks continued to demand repayments from farmers despite instructions from the state to restructure loans,&quot; said Kishor Tiwari of the Vidarbha Janandolan Samiti.<br /><br />The low price of crops and the lack of bank credit to farmers - which underpin the larger crisis in the farm sector - have not been addressed by the government, he pointed out. &quot;It costs Rs 6,800 to grow a quintal of cotton. The sale price fixed by the government is Rs 4,000. Even without a drought, farmers were in debt,&quot; Tiwari said.<br /><br />&quot;The farm crisis preceded our government. We have announced a series of measures which will soon have an impact,&quot; said state agriculture minister Eknath Khadse. The state hopes to boost water conservation through its Jalyukta Shivar Yojana. It has also drafted an action plan which includes restructuring bank loans and waiving loans worth Rs 171 crore from moneylenders. The state has also set up a committee to monitor vulnerable families and planned schemes to aid education and medical treatment for families of farmers.<br /><br /><br /></div>               </font>

Farmers&#039; groups say the state&#039;s Rs 4,000 crore drought relief package translated into a very small sum per farmer since as many as 90 lakh farmers were impacted. &amp;quot;It works out to just around Rs 1,875 an acre. Also, banks continued to demand repayments from farmers despite instructions from the state to restructure loans,&amp;quot; said Kishor Tiwari of the Vidarbha Janandolan Samiti.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The low price of crops and the lack of bank credit to farmers - which underpin the larger crisis in the farm sector - have not been addressed by the government, he pointed out. &amp;quot;It costs Rs 6,800 to grow a quintal of cotton. The sale price fixed by the government is Rs 4,000. Even without a drought, farmers were in debt,&amp;quot; Tiwari said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The farm crisis preceded our government. We have announced a series of measures which will soon have an impact,&amp;quot; said state agriculture minister Eknath Khadse. The state hopes to boost water conservation through its Jalyukta Shivar Yojana. It has also drafted an action plan which includes restructuring bank loans and waiving loans worth Rs 171 crore from moneylenders. The state has also set up a committee to monitor vulnerable families and planned schemes to aid education and medical treatment for families of farmers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;MUMBAI: &lt;/em&gt;As many as 601 farmers have killed themselves in Maharashtra in the three-month span between January and March this year. This works out to a chilling statistic of almost seven farmer suicides every day, according to the state government&#039;s own figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2014, the state had reported 1,981 farmer suicides. In just three months this year, it has reached 30% of that figure. This despite the state government&#039;s claims that halting farmer suicides is its top priority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The suicide rate had already started climbing with the onset of the drought last year. The unseasonal rain which impacted a wide expanse of crops and continues to pound the state has made things worse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cotton belt of Vidarbha - from where chief minister Devendra Fadnavis hails - continues to report the highest number of cases, the data shows. More than half the suicides between January and March - 319 in all &amp;mdash; were from Vidarbha. The arid zone of Marathwada reported the second-highest number, with 215 cases. These regions were worst hit by the drought and have also been impacted by unseasonal rain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2014, the state reported the same trend. Of the 1,981 cases, the highest toll of 1,097 was from Vidarbha. Marathwada accounted for 574 cases, reporting a steep rise in suicides once the drought began. In December 2014, Marathwada reported 151 cases, the highest toll in the state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Farmers&#039; groups say the state&#039;s Rs 4,000 crore drought relief package translated into a very small sum per farmer since as many as 90 lakh farmers were impacted. &amp;quot;It works out to just around Rs 1,875 an acre. Also, banks continued to demand repayments from farmers despite instructions from the state to restructure loans,&amp;quot; said Kishor Tiwari of the Vidarbha Janandolan Samiti.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The low price of crops and the lack of bank credit to farmers - which underpin the larger crisis in the farm sector - have not been addressed by the government, he pointed out. &amp;quot;It costs Rs 6,800 to grow a quintal of cotton.

This works out to a chilling statistic of almost seven farmer suicides every day, according to the state government&#039;s own figures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2014, the state had reported 1,981 farmer suicides. In just three months this year, it has reached 30% of that figure. This despite the state government&#039;s claims that halting farmer suicides is its top priority.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The suicide rate had already started climbing with the onset of the drought last year. The unseasonal rain which impacted a wide expanse of crops and continues to pound the state has made things worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cotton belt of Vidarbha - from where chief minister Devendra Fadnavis hails - continues to report the highest number of cases, the data shows. More than half the suicides between January and March - 319 in all &amp;mdash; were from Vidarbha. The arid zone of Marathwada reported the second-highest number, with 215 cases. These regions were worst hit by the drought and have also been impacted by unseasonal rain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2014, the state reported the same trend. Of the 1,981 cases, the highest toll of 1,097 was from Vidarbha. Marathwada accounted for 574 cases, reporting a steep rise in suicides once the drought began. In December 2014, Marathwada reported 151 cases, the highest toll in the state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Farmers&#039; groups say the state&#039;s Rs 4,000 crore drought relief package translated into a very small sum per farmer since as many as 90 lakh farmers were impacted. &amp;quot;It works out to just around Rs 1,875 an acre. Also, banks continued to demand repayments from farmers despite instructions from the state to restructure loans,&amp;quot; said Kishor Tiwari of the Vidarbha Janandolan Samiti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The low price of crops and the lack of bank credit to farmers - which underpin the larger crisis in the farm sector - have not been addressed by the government, he pointed out. &amp;quot;It costs Rs 6,800 to grow a quintal of cotton.

&lt;em&gt;MUMBAI: &lt;/em&gt;As many as 601 farmers have killed themselves in Maharashtra in the three-month span between January and March this year. This works out to a chilling statistic of almost seven farmer suicides every day, according to the state government&#039;s own figures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2014, the state had reported 1,981 farmer suicides. In just three months this year, it has reached 30% of that figure. This despite the state government&#039;s claims that halting farmer suicides is its top priority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The suicide rate had already started climbing with the onset of the drought last year. The unseasonal rain which impacted a wide expanse of crops and continues to pound the state has made things worse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cotton belt of Vidarbha - from where chief minister Devendra Fadnavis hails - continues to report the highest number of cases, the data shows. More than half the suicides between January and March - 319 in all &amp;mdash; were from Vidarbha. The arid zone of Marathwada reported the second-highest number, with 215 cases. These regions were worst hit by the drought and have also been impacted by unseasonal rain.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Farmers&#039; groups say the state&#039;s Rs 4,000 crore drought relief package translated into a very small sum per farmer since as many as 90 lakh farmers were impacted. &amp;quot;It works out to just around Rs 1,875 an acre. Also, banks continued to demand repayments from farmers despite instructions from the state to restructure loans,&amp;quot; said Kishor Tiwari of the Vidarbha Janandolan Samiti.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The low price of crops and the lack of bank credit to farmers - which underpin the larger crisis in the farm sector - have not been addressed by the government, he pointed out. &amp;quot;It costs Rs 6,800 to grow a quintal of cotton. The sale price fixed by the government is Rs 4,000. Even without a drought, farmers were in debt,&amp;quot; Tiwari said.&lt;br /&gt;

<br />
<em>MUMBAI: </em>As many as 601 farmers have killed themselves in Maharashtra in the three-month span between January and March this year. This works out to a chilling statistic of almost seven farmer suicides every day, according to the state government's own figures.<br />
<br />
In 2014, the state had reported 1,981 farmer suicides. In just three months this year, it has reached 30% of that figure. This despite the state government's claims that halting farmer suicides is its top priority.<br />
<br />
The suicide rate had already started climbing with the onset of the drought last year. The unseasonal rain which impacted a wide expanse of crops and continues to pound the state has made things worse.<br />
<br />
The cotton belt of Vidarbha - from where chief minister Devendra Fadnavis hails - continues to report the highest number of cases, the data shows. More than half the suicides between January and March - 319 in all &mdash; were from Vidarbha. The arid zone of Marathwada reported the second-highest number, with 215 cases. These regions were worst hit by the drought and have also been impacted by unseasonal rain.<br />
<br />
In 2014, the state reported the same trend. Of the 1,981 cases, the highest toll of 1,097 was from Vidarbha. Marathwada accounted for 574 cases, reporting a steep rise in suicides once the drought began. In December 2014, Marathwada reported 151 cases, the highest toll in the state.<br />
<br />
Farmers' groups say the state's Rs 4,000 crore drought relief package translated into a very small sum per farmer since as many as 90 lakh farmers were impacted. &quot;It works out to just around Rs 1,875 an acre. Also, banks continued to demand repayments from farmers despite instructions from the state to restructure loans,&quot; said Kishor Tiwari of the Vidarbha Janandolan Samiti.<br />
<br />
The low price of crops and the lack of bank credit to farmers - which underpin the larger crisis in the farm sector - have not been addressed by the government, he pointed out. &quot;It costs Rs 6,800 to grow a quintal of cotton. The sale price fixed by the government is Rs 4,000. Even without a drought, farmers were in debt,&quot; Tiwari said.<br />
<br />
&quot;The farm crisis preceded our government. We have announced a series of measures which will soon have an impact,&quot; said state agriculture minister Eknath Khadse. The state hopes to boost water conservation through its Jalyukta Shivar Yojana. It has also drafted an action plan which includes restructuring bank loans and waiving loans worth Rs 171 crore from moneylenders. The state has also set up a committee to monitor vulnerable families and planned schemes to aid education and medical treatment for families of farmers.<br />
