 Maharashtra agrarian crisis in which Vidarbha western districts which are mainly cotton growing has been reporting farmers suicides @  8 hourly a day since 2005 and centre and state government has pumped more than Rs.60,000 crore in the name of relief packages but as all relief packages where mostly designed by agriculture and economic expert in air-conditioned offices has not addressed core issues of rural distress which is result of the policies and Neo- globalization  which has forced Indian Govt. to withdraw direct subsidies and market protection for cotton and soybean cash  crops of region and all packages are keeping salient on restoration  direct subsidies and market protection to distressed farmers who are killing themselves, Tiwari added.

Recently supreme court has taken cognizance of vidarbha farmers as asked Govt. to come clean on PM Modiji promise of  debt free agrarian community and implementing  the renowned farm scientist M S Swaminathan's formula for fixation of MSP which provides for cost plus 50 per cent remuneration to the farmers as the basis of fixation of MSP for agricultural crops should be looked into during the process of finalization of Union Budget for 2014-15 that is only way to make agriculture far more sustainable besides ensuring no farmer was compelled to either leave this occupation or commit suicide, Tiwari urged .
