Youth is the future of India and we have the largest youth population in the country. However, the suicides among students are not stopping and rising rapidly. Compared to the previous year, the suicides among students almost doubled in 2021 as per a report.

As per the report, between 2014-21, southern states reported student suicides in problematic numbers. On average, the southern states reported around 2,000 suicides.
Talking about Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, 3507 and 3115 students lost their lives respectively. Last year more than 13,000 students lost their lives while Maratha land Maharashtra topped the list with over 1800 suicides.
We are living in a competitive world and students with good grades are seen as successful and only they will be preferred for jobs and other things. As we see marks and grades as a parameter for brilliance, companies also prefer students will good grades for jobs.
Parents also put pressure on children to study hard. They often compare with others and indirectly pressurize them. This is also a reason behind this. The educational institutions bank on this and say that they give good results.
All these reasons create a big impact on students. It is the responsibility of the parents and teachers to make the process of learning easy rather than making it stressful. Education is important and it is not the only important thing. Society needs to understand this and make students understand this.
