Records show that suicides have increased by 52 percent in 3 years. 5649 students committed suicide in 2021, 6140 in 2022 and 5989 in 2023. The World Health Organization report shows that a total of 16.5 percent of the youth in the country are attempting suicide, with one person losing their life every hour.
The WHO or World Health Organization says that family conflict, financial hardship, mental stress, and abuse are the causes. Psychologist Dr. Prashant Mohapatra said that schizophrenia and drug abuse are worsening the mental state of students. The comparative attitude of parents also affects the mental level. Compared to boys, female students are more likely to commit suicide, and students are taking such drastic steps due to losing their mental balance during their periods. Therefore, the government should be alert, because the students are the future of the country, the psychologist said.
