With the rising incidence of suicides, higher education has to pick up fast in India to reduce the performance pressure
With the Indian education system proving its mettle with those chosen few ‘bright’ students, most of its unwanted side effects are disregarded. One of them is the alarming incidence of student suicides in India. With an overwhelming 7379 cases in 2010 (compared to 5857 cases reported in 2006 as per National Crime Records Bureau), immediate attention is the need of the hour.
According to academicians and mental health professionals, the major culprit is the entire philosophy behind the existing education system, where performance ranks above everything else. The associated pressure from parents, peers and society to excel in every sphere, poor regard for individual talent and blind obsession with a few career options are most likely causes.
