“If you want to help the farmer" (with Dr Vani Kulkarni (Yale) and Prof.
Raghav Gaiha (Delhi)) Indian Express,
24th April 2015 (What's new on the home page of
School of Social Sciences).
This short column addresses how best the Modi government can help farmers as they have suffered severely this year– leading to many suicide cases - due to erratic rainfalls and severe crop failures. It argues that crop insurance as the means to mitigate farm distress is more limited than weather/rainfall insurance or NREGS, the latter based on the results of Dey and Imai (2014) and proposes urgent action to be taken by the government [see Dey, S, and Imai, K. S. (2014) ‘Workfare as "Collateral": The case of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) in India’].
