After Bombay high court pulled Maharashtra Govt. in 2003-04 ,They appointed official tata institute to submit report on vidarbha farmers and TISS has submitted it’s report with recommendations but it was never given serious thoughts and subsequently another high profile institute INDIRA GANDHI INSTITUTE DEV STUDIES was also asked to do the same job and they submitted another detail report and it was also shown the dust bin then Govt. of India that’s prime minister has asked National Commission of Farmers(NCF) chairman Dr.m.s.swaminathan to to tour vidarbha in October -2005 and submit report and he toured and gave his reports was not implemented and in march-2006 team of planning commission headed by smt.adarsh mishra rushed vidarbha and submitted detail report which was completely ignored in between after receiving severe beating from Bombay high court Nagpur bench Maharashtra Govt. has done mega survey of 8560 villages and 2 million farm families and submitted very critical reports of 2 million farming community in deep distress and another 4 million in complete distress ,this is first time ground reality came to light and prime minister rushed to vidarbha june-july-2006 and released relief package rs.3750 crore which has been failed to stop farm suicides of vidarbha .as matter of face saving Maharashtra govt. has done two more studies from pune base high profile institute one is YASHADA and another is GOKHALE institute of management studies but their report were never ever seen by the administration.
“if Govt. is not implementing any recommendation then what is use of asking economist to work on the solutions of agrarian crisis. it’s time buying activity so now further study of VIDARBHA farm suicides is ridiculous” Kishor Tiwari of Vidarbha Jan Andolan Samiti informed in a press release while reacting on another probe panel on VIDARBHA farm suicide crisis.
