Abstract

Farmers in India have committed suicide in large number in the past twenty years or so. There are differences of opinions among the policy makers, the agricultural experts and environmentalists on what were the causes for this crisis. Some say that the seeds of this crisis were sown during the period of Green Revolution itself and therefore it is mainly policy driven.
