While student suicides beyond Kota — the Indian hub of coaching centres in Rajasthan — mostly fail to make it to national headlines, as per the National Crime Records Bureau data of 2021-2022, Gujarat ranks 6th in the country in the number of student suicides. In India, 35 students die by suicide every day, meaning 1-2 student die every hour. In the last five years, as many as 3,002 students have died by suicide in Gujarat, which comes to an estimated 1-2 students per day. Despite the high instances of suicides, Gujarat lacks responsive dedicated helplines and provisions for counselling. The problem could explode if Gujarat fails to act while there is still time.
