The Heartbreaking Toll – Lost Dreams and Lost Lives:

​

In January 2024, Niharika, an 18-year-old filled with hope and ambition, penned a heart-wrenching note to her parents before taking her own life. "I can't do JEE. I'm a loser," she wrote, feeling trapped with no way out. In February, another bright 16-year-old aspiring for JEE from Chhattisgarh ended his life in his hostel room in Kota, followed by yet another in March from Rajasthan, all under the overwhelming weight of academic pressure.

These tragic incidents are not isolated. They are symptomatic of a much larger crisis: the silent suffering of our children.

"The Hidden Crisis: Mental Health Ignored"

​

Behind these alarming headlines lies a chilling reality — a severe lack of awareness and support for mental health issues plaguing our school children

The Silent Epidemic: The Current State of Child Mental Health in India

​

Disturbing statistics reveal the depth of the crisis:

• Every day, approximately 35 young lives are tragically lost to suicide in India.

• Nearly half of the students express dissatisfaction with their personal lives and body image.

• An overwhelming 81% grapple with anxiety due to crushing academic pressures.

​

Yet, the silence continues, exacerbated by stigma and a severe shortage of mental health professionals, leaving our children stranded without help.
