We earlier reported about B-Town diva Deepika Padukone hosting High Tea for Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and the other guests on the occasion of World Mental Health Day. Maharashtra CM has given a mission to Deepika and it's to engage with the farmers in the country against the backdrop of agrarian crisis.

Many farmers in the state have committed suicide from the last few years. Maharashtra CM stated "We would like to give Deepika Padukone a mission...mission to engage with farmers." He further said "When you talk to anybody, the common word we hear is stress. Everybody experiences stress and people have their own ways of dealing with it. There are people who don't know how to deal with it...There are people who don't want to talk about it,"

Sometimes senior citizens dial 100 (police control room no) as they don't have anyone to talk to, said the CM. He added that "We did a survey (with regard to farmer suicides) in two places and found out that 40 percent of farmers were under stress. More than the package, they need somebody to assure... Reassure them that they exist...They are needed,".
