Amrutham Gamaya to to bring down alarming suicide rate in Kollam
With Kollam recording the topmost suicide rate in India, the district panchayat is all set to launch Amrutham Gamaya, an emotional immunisation programme to identify vulnerable persons and provide them psychological support and continued individual attention. A first-of-its kind initiative by a local body, the project is expected to bring down the suicide rate in the district that is currently four times higher than the national average.
