Recently, amid the rising suicide cases among students in Rajasthan’s Kota, state Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot formed a committee that would submit a report on students’ suicide. As many as 22 students have died by suicide in the last eight months in Rajasthan’s Kota.

Maharashtra recorded the maximum number of suicides with 1,834 deaths, followed by Madhya Pradesh (1,308), Tamil Nadu (1,246), Karnataka (855) and Odisha (834). The problem can be solved with a collective effort.”

The number of such suicides in Rajasthan was 633, which is less than in other states, but the state government is ‘serious and sensitive’ towards the issue, an official statement said.
