YAVATMAL distt. has reported six suicides in last 72 hours and more than 1000 farm suicide in last three years where Indian president is visting on 15th june to attend private function of congress member parliament vijay darda in fact till Indian president Dr. a.p.j. kalam has not shown the any concern over these farm suicides as sine jan-2007 around 450 farmers suicides have already been reported as against 1442 farm suicide in 2006 as per maharashtra govt. official record but till date even though VJAS has sent daily e-mail of updates of farm suicides to hon.ble president of indian Dr,A.P.J.KALAM but he failed acknowledge the signle e-mail.
main cause of vidarbha agararina crisis is increase in input cost of cultivation and collapse of raw cotton prices
DUE TO WTO FREE TRADE AND U.S. SUBSIDIES TO AMRECAN COTTON FARMERS
last 31june-2006 Indian prime minister Dr. manmohan singhji has visited vidarbha and officially endorsed that vidarbha farm suicide is national problem and release rs.3750/- crore relief package to debt trap distressed vidarbha cotton farmers but since june2005 local and international media started reporting issue of farm suicides particularly of vidarbha cotton farmers it was expected that Indian president will draw the serious concern over these issue and ask Indian govt. to look in to matter but he failed to do so.
It was high time when CPI general secretary A.B.BARDHAN openly criticised indina president for it's apathy towards the vidarbha farm suicide six month back but Indian president failed respond over this serious issue after this criticism too.
now on 15th June 2007 ,he is coming to yavatmal to attend private function organised by Congress member Parliament ,VJAS has benn infomed that president office is arranging to meeting of indian president with farm widows of vidarbha provided local administration permits earlier it was decided that to protest over continuous apathy of the president to show black flag by the thousand of widows of farmers who committed suicide in this agagrarian crisis since 2005 ,informed kishor tiwari of VJAS.
In vidarbha since june 2005 daily 3 or 4 cotton farmers are committing suicides but Indian govt. failed to address this serious issue of farm crisis and main demands of cotton farmers of over due pending loan waiver and restoration cotton procurement price to Rs.3500 per quintal has been completely ignored hence farm suicide are nit being slow down ,kishor tiwari added

It is reported by times news network that Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh, in a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, said the number of farmers' suicides has reduced sharply from 61 in March last year to 16 for the same month this year.
According to the figures given by Deshmukh to the Prime Minister, 575 farmers had committed suicide due to agrarian crisis in the six worst-affected districts of Vidarbha in 2006 with the first three months accounting for 168 deaths.
During the first three months of this year 40 farmers have committed suicide in the six districts of Akola, Amravati, Buldhana, Wardha, Washim and Yavatmal.
While nine farmers committed suicide in January this year, the number has risen to 15 in February and 16 in March.

Farmers suicides reduced drastically: Maharashtra govt

NEW DELHI: The spate of farmers suicides in crisis-ridden Vidarbha of Maharashtra has drastically come down this year, the state government has claimed.
Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh, in a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, said the number of farmers' suicides has reduced sharply from 61 in March last year to 16 for the same month this year.
According to the figures given by Deshmukh to the Prime Minister, 575 farmers had committed suicide due to agrarian crisis in the six worst-affected districts of Vidarbha in 2006 with the first three months accounting for 168 deaths.
During the first three months of this year 40 farmers have committed suicide in the six districts of Akola, Amravati, Buldhana, Wardha, Washim and Yavatmal.
While nine farmers committed suicide in January this year, the number has risen to 15 in February and 16 in March.
Singh had announced a special relief package of Rs 3,750 crore for the six districts where most suicides by farmers in distress were reported.
"The prime minister's relief package has helped a lot in providing succour to farmers in Vidarbha," Deshmukh said.
The package provides a waiver on interest on loans, rescheduling of loans, and greater thrust to irrigation, seed replacement, extension and subsidiary income facilities.
Interestingly, the Maharashtra government in an affidavit filed in the Supreme Court in connection with a PIL had accused the PMO of delay in release of funds to keep operational the relief schemes announced by Singh.
The allegation, that caused an embarrassment to Singh and the Congress, a senior partner in the coalition government in Maharashtra, were withdrawn later.

BT Cotton - 2007 Mass Sowing Again in India
Indian Agriculture Ministry Bystander in BT Cotton Sowing Plans of 2007 -
THE RECORD 350 COTTON FARMERS SUICIDES IN VIDARBHA : IT'S ONCE AGAIN BT COTTON MASS SOWING IN VIDARBHA
Nagpur, 01 MAY 2007 :
The cotton growing area of western Vidarbha under severe agrarian crisis, has recorded 350 farm suicides, in first four months of 2007.
However, there is no drop in sowing of high failure bt. Cotton in this region as it is reported locally that this year area covered under bt. Cotton sowing is likely to be doubled from 8 lacs hectares to 16 lac hectares.
Why ?
All seed traders, cum money lenders, are giving BT Cotton seeds on credit to these debt trapped farmers, after more than 95% cotton farmers failed to repay crop loan this year, due poor cotton crop, and drop in market rate of sold cotton.
Government machinery and Indian bankers, are not giving fresh loans to defaulter cotton farmers where as Monsanto is giving huge credit and lucrative schemes to seed traders and they, in turn, are forcing innocent cotton farmers to purchase these failure prone BT Cotton seed.
Local government administration has reported this fact to Indian Govt. but everybody is turning blind eye as American genetically modified seed giant Monsanto has protection from US Agriculture Department, where as in India, Agriculture Minister and Cricket Minister of India Bhau Sharad Pawar is patron of this company in India, as infomed by Vidarbha Jan Andolan Samiti in press note released today.
VJAS has been demanding complete ban on bt. Cotton in west vidarbha as now it's official that bt. Cotton has been failed in rainfed area and in all most all 95% area is rain fed and farmers has to depend upon monsoon which is not regular and small and marginal farmers are suffering from massive economic losses due to frequent failure of bt. cotton and majority of 2500 cotton farmers suicides reported since June 2005 are small and marginal farmers who opted bt. Cotton seed in rain fed area, Kishor Tiwari of vjas added.

Dr. Man Mohan Singh, reputed Oxbridge economist, and Indian Prime minister, visited Vidarbha on 1 st July 2006 and announced Rs.3750 crore package to the cotton farmers of six districts, but official record says that there record increase in cotton farmers suicides after this package announcement as govt. of maharashtra has officially admitted 1534 farmers suicides after 1 st July 2007 as this suicide figure is all most equal to suicide figure of last decade and this fact is known to govt. officials very well.
Bureaucratic officials in charge of agriculture and relief in Maharashtraa, are saying that suicide are declining and after the trumpeted relief package, suicide rate has come down to 50%, this is matter of shame Kishor tiwari added.
Govt. of Maharashtra has selected Dr. Sudhir Goyal, Relief Commissioner to clarify this misleading suicide data as same relief commissioner has put govt. official survey which shows that 75% of 1.7 million farmers are in distress, and more that 4 lacs 34 thousands cotton farmers, are in deep distress and their hardship are needed to be addressed has not been taken care of in these so called relief packages.
