Agricultural researches, development of innovations, their dissemination and Government funding behind the whole process all come to a grinding halt when the ultimate beneficiaries of the process are left to their fate, are left to die. Yes, the most sensitive yet controversial phenomenon of farmer suicide in India is being indicated. In 2015, 12,602 farmers committed suicide in India (NCRB in Accidental deaths and suicides in India, Ministry of Home Affairs, New Delhi, 2015). Agriculture and farmers ensure the food and nutritional security of the nation; hence, any danger to the well being of farmers is a cause of national concern. Therefore, it necessitates an understanding of the possible reasons which compel farmers to end their lives. Hence, this article attempts to study farmer suicides over the years and state-wise variations in suicide rates. The normalised farmer suicide rate across the states has been calculated as per the latest available suicide data of 2015. An attempt has been made to identify the correlates of farmer suicides with state-level variables related to agriculture and socio-economic development. The results establish the Durkheimian theory; farmer suicide is an individual phenomenon. A compilation of micro-level studies is presented to support the argument.

农业研究，创新的发展，其传播以及整个过程背后的政府资助，一旦最终过程的最终受益者留在了他们的命中，任由他们死去，一切都将停滞不前。是的，正在表明印度农民自杀的最敏感但最具争议的现象。2015年，印度有12,602名农民自杀（内政部，新德里内政部，《印度意外死亡和自杀事件》，2015年，NCRB）。农业和农民确保国家的粮食和营养安全；因此，对农民福祉的任何危险都是引起国家关注的原因。因此，有必要了解迫使农民终止其生命的可能原因。因此，本文试图研究多年来农民自杀的状况以及自杀率的州际差异。根据2015年最新的自杀数据，计算了各州的农民自杀率正常化。已尝试确定农民自杀与国家水平与农业和社会经济发展有关的变量之间的相关性。结果建立了涂尔干理论。农民自杀是个人现象。提出了微观研究的汇编以支持该论点。结果建立了涂尔干理论。农民自杀是个人现象。提出了微观研究的汇编以支持该论点。结果建立了涂尔干理论。农民自杀是个人现象。提出了微观研究的汇编以支持该论点。
