ABSTRACT

The issue of farmer suicides in Punjab is a critical socio-economic and public health concern driven by a complex interplay of factors such as indebtedness, crop failures, fluctuating market prices, and the long-term impacts of the Green Revolution. This study explores these factors, highlighting the psychological toll and inadequate government support mechanisms. It underscores the necessity for multi-faceted interventions, including economic relief, agricultural reforms, mental health services, and policy integration. Addressing this crisis requires comprehensive strategies to promote financial stability, mental health, and sustainable farming practices, ensuring the long-term well-being of Punjab’s farming community.
