In March 2019, a group of 10 students visited Vidarbha for field research. Six villages were covered in the Wardha District of Maharashtra which is one of the

worst hit regions by the Agrarian Crisis.

The study mainly focussed on the aspects of climate change, labour and the

problems faced by women farmers.

The survey findings unfolded some serious facets of the crisis- Minimum Support Prices debacles, discrepancy in granting membership to self-help groups, lack of a proper water policy for irrigation, lower wages than the minimum rate, under-employment

of landless farmers due to use of weedicides, lack of government support and failure implementation of major policies like MGNREGA.
