In recent years, there has been a growing interest in determining the factors that contribute to the happiness and well-being of farmers. Farmers are gradually becoming engulfed in a quagmire of distress circumstances and it is time to examine how we can make their lives better. Efforts to improve the happiness and well-being of farmers in India will not only benefit them, but also their families, their communities and the entire country. The Indian Government and policy makers have a crucial role to play in improving the happiness levels of farmers by implementing policies that are geared towards addressing the challenges faced by them. By taking a multi-faceted approach and prioritizing the needs of farmers, it is possible to make significant progress towards improving their happiness and well-being.
