Abstract

Loan waivers may provide immediate relief to the problem but fail to provide any help in solving the fundamental issues being faced by the farmers and removing the root cause of the problem. Waivers in some states create pressure in other states to implement the same. These generally benefit the rich farmers who have easy access to the banks, better financial literacy and awareness.
