This book presents the all-pervasive crisis in India's agrarian economy that has been marked with deceleration in growth and farmer distress for more than a decade. The most stark feature of this volume-case studies on farmer suicides-throws open the underlying causes of the deep rooted sluggish state of agriculture.

This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the macro- and micro-level issues associated with agrarian distress. It analyses structural, institutional, and policy changes, highlighting the failure of public support systems in agriculture. The crisis manifests itself in the form of deceleration in growth and distress of farmers. The case studies from Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, and Punjab bring out the diversity of conditions prevalent in the states.
