dc.description.abstractThe present investigation was carried out in Dharwad and Gadag districts of Karnataka state. Purposive sampling procedure has been adopted for the selection of the district and respondents to collect the required information for the research work. Secondary data on the number of suicide cases in the districts were collected from Joint Director of Agriculture and Assistant Commissioner Offices of respective districts. Forty two households of suicide victims were chosen and 35 control cases were selected randomly for comparison. The total sample size was seventy seven (N=77). For evaluating the specific objectives of the study, necessary primary data were obtained from the families of selected suicidal and non-suicidal farmers, through personal interviews with the help of well-structured schedule. The data collected were entered in MS-Excel, tabulated and analyzed by using frequency, percentage, Chi-square and principle component analysis. The chi-square study of suicidal and non-suicidal farmers revealed that, there was association between the suicidal tendency and age, family type, type of agriculture practiced, land holding of farmers, range of loan taken, cropping pattern, income level, socio-economic status, stress level, mental health and depression. Suicidal reasons (education, family type, land holding, cast, type of agriculture practiced, farming experience, cropping pattern, income level, range of loan taken and source of capital taken), stress level, mental health and depression level were found to be main factors that influence suicidal tendency of farmers. Based on the result of principal component analysis, the suicidal tendency index was developed.en_US
