Punjab is known as the bread basket of India. Punjab is also known for rich farmers, but the reality is far away. Farmers who have a big land live a luxury life, but the position of small and marginal farmers is not good. Most of the small farmers are under indebtedness. Punjab witnessed a high growth during Green Revolution, but after that position of farmers' starts detoriate. Punjab government always tries to hide the problem and always show incorrect data regarding farmers' suicide. No serious efforts from government to solve the problem. As a result problem continues to prevail.
