Yavatmal, INDIA: (FILES) In this picture taken 18 April 2006, the four daughters of the late Indian cotton farmer Neelkhant Haste: Pranali (L), Seema (2L), Ruchali (3L), and Kajol (R) pose with his picture as they mourn his death at Yavatmal on the outskirts of Nagpur, after he committed suicide by consuming pesticide. Farmer suicides in India's main cotton belt have reached their highest ever level with 216 dead since premier Manmohan Singh announced a major relief effort in July, community leaders said 04 September 2006. The monthly death toll hit more than 100 for the first time in August and suicides are continuing at three a day among farmers hit hard by rising debt and falling cotton prices.Tallies compiled by activists show 767 farmers killed themselves in the last 12 months in the Vidarbha region in western Maharashtra state, with many setting themselves alight or drinking pesticide. Activists say only a few hundred farmers have been helped by Singh's 37.5-billion rupee (835 million USD) relief package announced after a two-day visit to Vidarbha.
