No it is factually in correct.Out of 461 farmers who committed suicide only 61 had taken money from private moneylenders.The state govt had boasted that it has cracked down on money lenders & had arrested 600of them. The internal inquiry has revealed that only 132 had taken loan from PS Banks,92 from regional rural banks,only 20 borrowed from Co-op banks: 76 farmers who had committed suicide had borrowed from co-op associations: 61 farmers who had committed suicide had not taken any loan from any source. The Govt has agreed to give compensation in 121 cases only; 248 cases are being examined : It was the sugarcane farmers who were stressed lot 61 of them committed suicide; The govt has rejected the claims of 93 farmers./// Those who committed suicide are:-
61 cases are sugarcane growers
43 cotton growers
32 paddy growers. The sugar Bowl, Bagalkote,Belagavi & vijayapura account for 47 suicide cases.Mandya alone witnessed 47 Deaths. Haveri 37 deaths. Tumakuru with 33 deaths.
The Govt is thinking of waiving interest charges on Farm Loans taken from C0-ops. Loans taken from PS Banks comes under Central Govt.The ad campaign have not stopped the suicide cases.As on date 475 farmers have committed suicide during the last 3 months alone. The Govt may consider long & medium term loans taken from co-op into consideration & it may waive interest rates on them.also.
Though the Govt is not sure about the Burden on the exchequer yet it is likely to cost anywhere between 200-300 crores
