SUICIDES OF FARMERS

Dear Folks,

Once again 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.

The situation is getting from bad to worse everyday. Please 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.

Some of you might have watched the plight of UP farmers on IBN 7 in their programme “Bhookh”. The story of Rs.10 as ‘official relief’ was repeated on many channels and newspapers.

Please we can not let our farmers die like this. Please spread this message to as many people as possible and do what ever you can.

Yours sincerely,
Nirupma Kapoor
