"Karsan Koli committed suicide by hanging at his house in Chikhli village due to failure of cotton and 'mandvi' crops owing to inadequate rainfall," an officer from Navabandar police station said.
Police said medical officer T Y Bloch attached to a local hospital informed them about the incident.
The state government had last month declared 14 districts and 152 talukas as "scarcity hit" due to deficient rains.
