ABSTRACT

Agrarian distress in Vidarbha, a region in Maharashtra, India, is a complex issue characterized by declining farmer incomes, rising indebtedness, and a spate of farmer suicides.  Debt-induced land loss is a major contributor to farmer suicides, with many farmers unable to repay loans taken for farming and other expenses. The region's dependence on rain-fed farming and lack of irrigation facilities exacerbate the problem, making crops vulnerable to drought and erratic monsoons. The crisis is further compounded by low crop prices, high input costs, and lack of institutional support, pushing farmers into a debt trap. The vicious cycle of debt and land loss is a significant contributor to this crisis. Smallholder farmers in Vidarbha are forced into debt due to market fluctuations, crop failures, and high-interest loans from non-institutional lenders. This debt trap leads to land loss, further exacerbating the crisis. This paper focuses on in-depth study of situations of the farmer and focuses on the solutions for the agrarian system of Vidarbha.

ABSTRACT

Art is a powerful medium of human civilization. Every painting or visual scene contains echoes of its time, society and culture. This research essay analyses a selected painting to interpret its colors, composition and the emotions it expresses, with the aim of understanding its social and cultural contexts. The essay does not remain limited to the painting’s external appearance; through it, the study seeks to reveal prevailing ideas, feelings and changes in society. Artists and writers act as mirrors of society, and their works reflect the many facets of life seen in that mirror. Through an author’s works we learn about their personality, thinking, sensitivity and worldview. A close study of a creator’s works to analyses the ideas, emotions, style and aesthetic values contained within is called a Rachana Chitra (creative portrait). Through a Rachana Chitra we can not only appreciate an artist’s creative capacity but also assess the social, cultural and emotional conditions of the era in which those works were produced. Thus, a Rachana Chitra becomes a living document of an artist’s oeuvre, revealing their literary journey, sensitivity and perspective towards society.
