Indian Farmers

Dear Folks,

I wish to draw your attention to the almost daily SUICIDES OF FARMERS in Vidarbha, U.P. and God knows where else, for these stories are not recorded meticulously.

Rural farmers are poor, illiterate, deeply in debt and not organized, so no one knows about their problems.

Please we can not let our farmers die like this.They need our help. All of us need to step forward to help and support them. We need to think of ways that will force the local officials and government to act quickly.

Best regards,
Nirupma Kapoor
