To Study The Socio-Economic Status Of Psychosomatic Farmers In Satna District (Madhya Pradesh)

Abstract

This study explores the socio-economic status of psychosomatic farmers, focusing on the interplay between their psychological well-being and farming practices. By conducting a comprehensive survey and in-depth interviews with a diverse group of farmers, we aim to understand how socio-economic factors such as income, education, and access to resources influence their mental health and, conversely, how their psychological state affects their agricultural productivity and social interactions. Our findings reveal a complex relationship where economic stressors and lack of support exacerbate psychosomatic symptoms, leading to reduced efficiency and social isolation. Conversely, strong community ties and adequate mental health support contribute to improved socio-economic outcomes. This research highlights the need for integrated socio-economic and mental health interventions to support the well-being and productivity of farmers, emphasizing the importance of holistic approaches in agricultural and rural development policies.
