Abstract
During 2014, major causes of suicides among farmers were ‘Bankruptcy or Indebtedness’ which accounted for 21.5% male farmers’ suicides. According to an Arjun Sengupta Committee Report, from 1995 to 2013 “nearly 3 lakh farmers have committed suicide in the last 15 years. About 60 per cent farmers are dependent on National Rural Employment Guarantee Act to survive, and an estimated 56 per cent farmers go to bed hungry. Another 78 per cent want to quit agriculture if given a choice.” Today, the agricultural sector has started marking the appearance of the corporate capital with an ambition to invest. But, there is no specific plans or policies to regulate the corporate entities in the sector. Further, there is no uniformity in the practices followed and under the existing framework, the regulation of the behaviours of such corporate entities to safeguard the interests of the farmers is not addressed.
