Prof. R.R. Borse discusses action research as a method to address the issue of farmer suicides in Vidarbha, Maharashtra. Action research focuses on solving immediate problems through results-oriented efforts to improve existing arrangements, using real situations rather than imagination. However, action research also has limitations in that it is less scientific, limited to specific issues, without universal applicability of problems or solutions beyond the local context. It has a narrow focus and limited generalizability of findings.
