ew Delhi – The latest revelations from India’s National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) have once again exposed the grim reality of the Modi government’s agricultural policies. Since coming to power, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration has consistently ignored the legitimate concerns of farmers, pushing millions toward despair and death. According to NCRB data, over 111,000 Indian farmers have committed suicide between 2014 and 2023. The year 2023 witnessed the highest number of suicides in Maharashtra, where more than 10,000 farmers ended their lives, highlighting the devastating impact of failed agricultural reforms. A study published in the International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development revealed that 38.7% of farmer suicides were linked to mounting debts, while 19.5% resulted from agricultural distress. Experts believe that Modi’s flawed policies and administrative failures are claiming the lives of nearly 31 farmers every day. Despite promises of doubling farmers’ income, the government’s schemes have left many deeply indebted and struggling for survival. The collapse of India’s crop insurance system, once projected as a safeguard for farmers, has only worsened the crisis. Instead of relief, it has driven countless farmers to financial ruin under the so-called banner of a “Shining India.” Behind the slogans of development and progress lies a grim truth — the rising wave of farmer suicides serves as a damning indictment of Modi’s hardline and inept governance. Growing dissatisfaction across India’s rural heartland stands as a stark reminder of the failures of an administration that continues to neglect those who feed the nation.
