Police and district officials in the coaching hub of Kota, Rajasthan, are attempting to address the issue of poor mental health among students. They have found that one of the major reasons behind student suicides is parents refusing to accept feedback about their child s abilities and pushing them to continue preparing for entrance exams.
A resident of Rampur district in Uttar Pradesh, the student came to Kota over two months ago. He was a student of Class 11 preparing for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) at a coaching institute here.
