Abstract: ABSTRACT The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data shows that 112,246 farmers had died by suicide between 2013 to 2022. In 2022, a total of 11,290 persons involved in the farming sector (5,207 farmers and 6,083 agricultural labourers) have committed suicide in India, accounting for 6.6% of total suicide victims in the country. Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojna (PMFBY) the biggest ever government contribution to crop insurance is one of the important policy measures to solve the problem of farmer suicides in India. Now days some farmers are committing suicide due to lack of risk management. And they are selecting the option of suicide rather than crop insurance. There is need of serious concern of this problem of sharing the risk of farmers and protecting their crops against adverse weather and natural calamities. The epidemic of farmer suicides cannot be solved by relief package alone. A shift in policy focus from “corporate first” to “farmers first” will greatly help in mitigating the problem of farmer suicides in India. This study is an attempt to analyse the choices of farmers to select the crop insurance policy rather than suicide and comment on the policy measures undertaken to solve the problems. The study is descriptive one based on secondary data taken from the National Crime Record Bureau and PMFBY. Many communities in the country dependent on agriculture for a livelihood and these suicides constitute a massive agrarian distress in India. Indebtedness, loss of livelihood, and ultimately suicides by the farmers indicate the multidimensional nature of agrarian distress in India. The debt waiver is only a transitory measure. The centre and the state governments should adopt well thought-out coordinated measures and strategies to find out a permanent solution for agrarian crisis in the country.
