RTI -Wayanad farm suicides

Dear friend,

We have filed an RTI(right to information) ,to know about government relief measures to farm related suicide issue. Report reveals the inaction from government in this regard.It happens to be that only our aid is available to the families which we are supporting.

Asokan,from Seetamount,pulpally suicided due to heavy loss he suffered from ginger cultivation in karnataka which he took on lease. Omana,his wife and 15 year old daughter is staying in a small hut,made with the help of her good nieghbours in this border village.

She was visited by local MP,MLAs ,ministers and leaders of opposition.Agricultural minister KP Mohanan promised to give 2 cows ,besides an instant relief amount 1 lakh, as announced by the government.Same is the situation of all destitute farmer familes all over wayanad.

Poor farmer families are not only prey to the negligence of govt. machinery ,but also subjected to the mockery of their ill fates by providing them with false promises.

The number farm suicides in wayanad in the last 4 months stands at 18.As RTI report suggests govt. is least bothered in acknowledging them as such.

There were 7 farm related suicide in november 2011 itself.The list should have included Paily from ambalavayal and Jose from nallurnadu.

So government has failed to recognize all farm suicides.Besides it does nt have fulfilled any monetery aid promised,as RTI report reveals.

..Thanks and regards

'Santwanam' for poor farmer families-Discussion

Dear friends...

It is true that a social problem like farm suicides demands political and government interventions.But it is equally true that we can help atleast a few,so that they may be provided with a support,however little it may be.



In the last one and half month,9 farmers have committed suicide in wayanad itself.There was 18 farm related suicides all over kerala in the same period.

Farmers in wayanad is highly dependent on cash crops,whose prices fluctuates in response to global market pressures.Farmers owes debts to banks and local money lenders which they are unable to repay,due to crash in prices of their crops.They are in viscious circle of debt and alcoholism.Less return of their produce and growing debts makes them desperate ,and in turn leads to high level of alcoholism.

Out of 9 effected families we have identified 2 of them,which are most weak ecnomically.One of them is in 'mullankolly' near sultan battery and other is in 'vellamunda',nearby manathavady.We have decided to help them with an amount of 1000/- monthly, till our completion of course.

Please come up with valuable suggestion which can make our'santwanam' more meaningful.
Thanks and regards..

Visit to Marad

Dear friends,

last saturday (1/10/11) we visited the family of Mr.Shaji,who died recently while working in our hostel mess.

We have donated 2000/- to his family as decided by santwanam committee.

It was a part of our policy to take up other relevant issues as well ,with 'santwanam'.

His family consists of his wife,3 children ,father and mother. They are now staying in a temperory shed provided by his nieghbour.

An action commitee has been formed by local people to help his family.

Suggestions from all are invited regarding how we can provide assistance for them.

Few of the proposals before us are

1) Giving 2000/- for them in a monthly basis.

2)Let the elder child who is in his 10+2 be provided with a part time job,besides helping him in his academics.

3)Trying to provide a job for his widow through 'kudumbashree' , a self help group working in kerala for women.

Kindly follow with your comments..

Thanks and regards..
