	The Hindu Business Line : Vidarbha — a model farmers' State?
		Vidarbha could be an ideal pilot for the kind of economic and political system that the mainstream farmers' movement in India has been demanding and agitating for.
		This is the principal cause of the celebrated Vidarbha backlog.
		The socialists and Leftists, who attributed the backwardness of the Vidarbha to the failures of the government, are now being supported by the farmers who stand for free trade without state interventions of the kind that have plagued Vidarbha — monopoly procurement of cotton and paddy.

	Vidarbha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vidarbha is the north-eastern region of Maharashtra state, now forming two divisions ( Nagpur and Amravati).

		Vidarbha was transferred to Bombay state in 1956 to unify all Marathi -speaking areas, and became part of Maharashtra state in 1960, when Bombay state was split into the linguistic states of Maharashtra and Gujarat.

	Vidarbha's despair
		The worst hit areas are in Vidarbha, where the burdens of scanty water supply are borne by both urban and rural areas.
