A Pervasive Study on Suicidal Nature of Farmers, Concerning the State of Maharashtra

Abstract

Citing the various reasons for decrease in agricultural revenue in the recent years, there has been a considerable drop in the farmer’s population. One of the most important factor to contribute to farmer’s suicide is no transparency in agricultural marketing. This paper will therefore focus on using IT for providing better assessment in moving the goods from farm to the consumers. Thus, by automating the activities involved in agricultural marketing (sending, exchange, forwarding, etc.), this paper strives to give farmers a sense of security about their productions as well as the profit they deserve.
