Suicide of farmers is not a new thing, from Punjab to AP to Karnataka farmers are committing suicide at an increasing rate . Some of these money lenders are total scum. They charge extortionate interest rates. There are other options for money for our farmers but they are set in their ways and think the arthiya is the only place to go.

The state owned banks are going out their way to lend money and they charge a lower interest rate. Kisan credit cards were launched but take up is not very good.

Everyone loves to mess the farmers about, a year or so ago I met a farmer who had been sold fake insecticide. It destroyed about 4 acres of their cotton crop. The farmer was understandably distraught and due to the worry fell ill. Eventually the pind got a panchayat together and went to the agent who sold the fake insecticide. After much haggling an agreement was reached and the farmer received compensation (although he would have made more from his crop).

Some people bring trouble to themselves. I have a few relatives who thought they were clever taking special loans from the state government to set up milk dairies. The thing is for a few months they lived life to the full, splashing their notes about and just wasting the money. Now they claim everything will be ok as they will tell the government that the cows have died. The loans were not secured on the cows but they are so stupid they think they will get away with it. This is not the first time these relatives had tried such things. About ten years back they borrowed heavily from the local arthiya and wasted the money. Then they could not pay it back. The amount they owed more than doubled and eventually they had to sell a few acres to pay the arthiya off. Due to the stupidity and missuse of money their kids are spoiled and refuse to go to school. I dread to think how they are going to survive on a few acres of farmland when the land is divided/inherited.
