but we cannot really blame farmers...they get money and that is their only goal...atleast in mumbai, pune they have factories and stuff to work in, which lacks in rural India.
and you know its not that always farmers are forced, people at times do not really want to pursue farming, because it is a demanding profession with less returns, unless you are from Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat. people see immediate big amount in selling land. and these people they do not really think beyond immediate future.
the positive thing is that in many states now youth is turning to farming, and i mean the educated youth and this can bring a positive change in agriculture sector...hopefully.
