I’m Shrikrishna Hegde, born and raised in a remote village, and tucked away into the forests of southern India. My family has been farming for centuries and it has a deep place in my heart, so the struggles of the farming community is something I empathize with and would go out of my way to support everyone involved. Recently I have been selected for the Prestigious DO School Fellowship Germany.
In India every half an hour a farmer commits suicide and on an average more than 2,000 farmers move away from farming every day. Since 1995, more than 300,000 farmers committed suicide just due to financial reasons.
