Policy Overhaul
- Krishna Kumar, Kollam, Kerala

The distressing suicides in India’s prosperous state prompt a reevaluation of the perennial debt crisis in agriculture. Urgent action is required through national and regional banks, offering adaptable loans and interest-free initiatives. The lack of a robust fiscal policy at the national level further compounds farmers’ woes. A strategic allocation of revenue from direct and indirect taxes towards farmer welfare emerges as a promising strategy to alleviate agriculture’s struggles. A comprehensive policy overhaul is imperative to rejuvenate the farming sector and provide the essential support it deserves.
