I always saw another young life lost in Kota and how that affected people’s lives.
In a turn of tragedy, again, India finds the dead body of a 19-year-old girl, an NEET subscriber, in this coaching hub. She was lying dead in her P.G. at a place called Kota.
The time of the death is ripped off; unfortunately, it is with regret that this is not the first case of a student taking away their life under brutal pressure. It has been 8 more such deaths in the city only during this year.
Acchunna isyklo serezenga, raika imbe iyoyind thamata iyeqesintu wa amaua wa Indiya. Coaching institutions often become the only driving force taking a single-minded approach to achieving marks, which further makes the students feel immense emotional pressure.
Parents, reminded by others or themselves of what is considered a prestigious career and the illusion of happiness, pressurize children into choosing the same career, knowing full well the inner anguish that may follow. Instruction for the depressives and those striving in the shadows is inadequate.
However, the tougher entrance exams overall have increased mental stress more than usual. This calls for the rights society to advance in a discussion that guides the students’ performance instead of competitively what the ranking demands.
The most crucial thing to note here is that there should be an attempt at addressing not only the symptoms alone but also the underlying causes of these suicides. Otherwise, more young lives will perish by these hands prematurely. The time for synthesis is gone.
