dc.description.abstract | The study was conducted during 2011-2012 in six debt distressed districts in Vidarbha region of Maharashtra of India to assess the role of watershed development programmes in mitigating suicide among farmers. National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) has launched holistic watershed development programmes on 2nd October 2006 to help farmers in the distressed districts of Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. A structured data collection schedule was developed by the investigators under this study regarding reasons of suicide, preventing measures of suicide and role of NABARD Supported Holistic Watershed Development Programmes (NSHWDP) in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra in mitigating suicide among farmers. The study revealed that in 13.3 per cent households farmers committed suicide in the six distressed districts of the Vidarbha region. Among the farmers who committed suicide, majority (81.2 %) were male. Indebtedness was explained as major cause of suicide among the farmers of Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. The study also revealed that majority (95.8%) of farmers considered the government sponsored agricultural development programmes could be an important measure to prevent suicide among them. All farmers considered that the NSHWDP helped in decreasing the suicide cases in their region because the watershed programme helped them in more availability of irrigation water due to water storage structures and resulting increase in agricultural production. | en_US |
