Western Vidarbha :

1. THAKURSINGH GYANSINGH BRAMHANE, ASEGOAN, WASHIM
2. DILIP YADAV NARRADIWAR, BORTANDALI, CHNADRAPUR

4. BABAN PACHAKAR, KARLA, AMAMRAVATI
5. MAHADEV VISHUJI PAWAR, WARWAT, BAKAL, BULDHANA

Indian government, Maharashtra state government, senior local bureaucrats are careful NOT to characterize these as AGRARIAN SUICIDES due to debt problems of cotton growing farmers in Vidarbha..
They cite reasons like :
1. Alcoholism
2. Family Problems and berievement
3. Medical expenses
4. Social tensions
5. Mental insanity
