Crop Failures Provoke Suicides Amongst Indian Farmers

YAVATMAL, INDIA - APRIL 09: (ISRAEL OUT) The wife of Ramchandra Tamtala looks on over her husband's sick bed in a local hospital after he swallowed insecticide on April 9, 2008 in the town of Yavatmal in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra state, India. A wave of farmers' suicides has hit rural India over the last few years, with reported estimates of 10,000 succumbing annually due to poor mental health linked to black market loan repayment difficulties, seasonal discrepancies such as droughts and floods which the WHO attributes to climate change, and rising living costs.
