Farming is the backbone of India. Many of us does not know the social issues of the farmers, one of the most important social issue of the farmers is Farming loan.

                              In my annual leave I went to my native place, it is a village. A farmer’s family live near my neighbour’s house, and family consist of a Father, Mother Son And a Doughter. They were very well in the farming. They did farming in 3 acres. They grow crops according to the season. They earn some profit. As there is low profit, they bought a tractor and other machines for the good yield and to increase the profit, to buy these machines they got money from the money lenders for interest.

                              But unfortunately there is a big natural disaster. Due to heavy rain, The crop cultivated by that family was completely spoiled by the flood. So there is a big lose for their family. To pay the interest They got some more amount from the another money lender to pay the interest for high interest.

                               Again they cultivated the crop. Due to the cultivation of the particular

crop in the nearby areas there is no profit, because the crop was sold in low rate due to the more cultivation of the particular

crop. But the money lender gave more pressure to the farmer to pay the interest amount during the cultivation time so, the farmer unfortunately committed suicide due to the pressure.

                               Now the pressure is on that farmer’s family. Now the farmer’s family is under the pressure of the money lender.

                               This is the major social issues faced by most of the farmers in India.
