The Most Revolutionary Concept In Education PLANMAN CHE CENTRE FOR HIGHER EDUCATION, Supported by IIPM India’s Leading B-School
“The international cotton market has slumped, and a 50 per cent cotton crop failure this season will certainly have a bad effect on Vidarbha farmers. With that, soy bean procurement rate has also crashed. Now debt-ridden farmers will not have any other option than committing suicide,” says the young cotton grower Nitin. As he says, already signs of distress have started sweeping across Vidarbha. Just before entering Jalka, we had visited the village Baggi, near Pandharkawada. On the morning of November 6, 2008, Ashoke Lasamanna Deshettiwar (45), a farmer of this village, as usual went to his field. “Nothing seemed abnormal when he left home for the field. But after two hours, father consumed pesticide and silently returned home. Before we came to realise anything, he lost his breath, and we lost him,” his son Anil says. Anil is an ITI student and his elder brother Sunil is a soldier in the Indian Army. Sunil has been posted in Jammu & Kashmir for the past five years. “I wanted to come home for Diwali. But I got a month’s leave only after Diwali. Within six days of homecoming, I lost my father. I can’t imagine this,” says Sunil.
Deshettiwar had three acres of land in his name and he had around Rs 60,000 to pay back as debt remittance. That debt became his death sentence. “He used to worry miserably about his loans. For the past two years, crops have suffered. Yet, we had no option but to continue farming. We expected a bumper crop this year, and we’d have cleared all our debts. But due to Layla (Pink Bollworm), we have almost lost 60 per cent of the crop this year. I think that broke his back,” says Kaushalya Bai, Ashoke’s widow. She does not cry, her eyes as parched as her fields.
