Although the significant portion of the present book dwells upon the large amount of background secondary data on farmer suicides at the all-India, state, and district level and its analysis from the viewpoint of complexities of the issue of suicide by farmers, the central point of entire discussion carried out in the book depends on the victim’s household-level primary data. Thus, predominantly the book relies on the victim’s household primary data on farmer suicides cases reported from the two most affected districts of Maharashtra. These districts belong to the Marathwada (Usmanabad) and Vidarbha (Yavatmal) region of the state, and have ranked for last three decades as the most affected districts of farmer suicides in the country. The census survey-based discussion brings out a multi-stage ground level complexity faced by the suicide victim farmers. Reading of this book will help revealing the socio-economic, cultural, psychological and agrarian policy complexities that have been consistently pushing these farmers towards the suicide trap for more than last three decades.
