Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari has said that about 10,000 farmers commit suicide in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra every year for multiple reasons, including poor irrigation facilities.
“To help them overcome the crisis, various steps are being taken to ease the agrarian distress, and focus is laid on diversification of the farm sector into renewable energy generation,” Mr. Gadkari said while addressing a public meeting here on Thursday.
