As per the latest study of Vidharbha regions many farmers suicide focuses majorly on:

  • Crop failure, due to this, many farmers in Vidharbha region are switching to use BT cotton seeds. 
  • BT cotton seeds provide higher yield but are expensive and require good irrigational facilities, which are not available in 
  • Lahanu Khabale’s land and on top of that irregular monsoons leads to crop failure. 
  • Besides this, BT seeds obtained from BT crops cannot be used for the next sowing. 
  • Due to that Lahanu Khabale was deeply rooted in debt. 
  • He was also in further debt to private money lenders because he had borrowed money for his daughters dowry. 
  • Above mentioned economic burdens and social stigma provoked Lahanu Khabale’s grandfather to commit suicide.
