The report is available at:

Strangely, I found this following up a reference in Heilbroner's book "The worldly Philosophers". The report is probably well known to many in A.P. by now.I understand that the report is already discussed in "Veekshanam", a publication of CDRC (www.cdrcindia.org). I am enclosing the abstract.

Report of the Commission on Farmers' Welfare, Government of Andhra
Pradesh
Apr 7th 2005
This is the complete Final Report of 'the Commission on Farmers' Welfare'
which was set up at the end of September 2004 by the Government of Andhra Pradesh, India, to look into the agricultural crisis in the state, manifest most glaringly in farmers' suicides. The Commission, which was chaired by Jayati Ghosh and had Mahendra Dev, Madhura Swaminathan, Mall Reddy, Nagaraj, Narasimha Reddy, D. Nancharaiah, K. Raju, P. Krishnaiah, as members among others and Utsa Patnaik as adviser, submitted its report on 11 December, 2004. It was the opinion of the commission that the agrarian crisis in Andhra Pradesh can be linked to a combination of wrong public polices of liberalisation and globalisation policies at the central and state government levels and failures at the level of local implementation. It made recommendations for corrective policies in six different areas related to agriculture, namely: institutional credit; irrigation and sustainable water management; dryland farming; sustainable input use; output price stability; and rural economic diversification.

Dangerous policies like globalisation and liberalisation were promoted very well by past BJP and TDP governments.
