Abstract:
This research paper, inspired by Mark Tully's observations and findings, sheds light on the distressing plight of farmers in India. It examines the factors contributing to their indebtedness and the resultant distress, including natural phenomena like droughts and floods, as well as institutional factors such as inputs, credit, and markets. The study encompasses the experiences of small, marginal, and large-scale farmers. To overcome this crisis, the paper proposes various measures that the government can adopt, drawing on Tully's recommendations. These include the formation of farmers' groups, the adoption of non-pesticidal management to reduce input costs, rectification of market anomalies, and the provision of counseling and confidence-building initiatives in areas facing acute distress. The research emphasizes the urgency of addressing these challenges and offers a comprehensive perspective on mitigating the plight of farmers in India.
