Agriculture has traditionally held a paramount role in India's economy. Government data reveals that over half of the country's population relies on agriculture for their livelihood, primarily encompassing small and marginal farmers. Unfortunately, inadequate infrastructure, outdated practices, and diminishing yields have entrenched Indian farmers in a cycle of debt and poverty. Tragically, thousands of farmers resort to taking their own lives each year, burdened by crop failures and insurmountable debts.

According to records from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), in 2018, 10,349 farmers tragically ended their lives, accounting for 7.7% of the nation's total suicide cases, which numbered 134,516, as reported by the NCRB.

Research indicates that approximately 60,000 farmers in India have fallen victim to the dire consequences of climate change, which has further exacerbated the farming crisis.

The alarming rise in farmer suicides is a pressing concern that demands our collective attention.

Together, we can champion innovative and sustainable irrigation methods to bolster agricultural progress, particularly for tribal communities and small-scale Indian farmers. By addressing these pressing issues, we can work towards breaking the cycle of despair and hardship that has gripped many farming families.
