Why are farmers committing suicides in several states of the country?  

Answer:

Usually, farmers take loans from local moneylenders at very high rates of interest for farming inputs like seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, etc. When a crop fails, they are not able to repay the loan, causing many hardships like starvation, losing part of their land to the moneylender, mental agony due to crop failure, etc. All this leads them to commit suicide.
