Student suicides have risen 27% over five years, NCRB data shows. In 2021, over 1,600 suicides were just for failing their exams.
Maharashtra had the highest rate of student suicides in 2021. Student suicide reach an all-time high in 2022, a 4.5 increase since 2021. And now, the recent 14 suicides in Kota. What is happening? Is there a fault in the educational system? Do parents have a role to play in it?
