Expressing concerns over student suicides in the country, President Droupadi Murmu has termed suicides among students a ‘serious issue.’ Addressing the launch of Brahma Kumaris theme of the year “The Year of Positive Change,” in Raipur, the honorable president called for all stakeholders to help ease pressure among students with positive thinking and self-confidence. “There is a very serious matter which I want to place before you. Just a few days ago, two students preparing for NEET ended their lives, their dreams and their future,” the president said. 


“I appeal to the family members, friends, teachers and society of this future generation to understand the mentality of these children and help them. I would like to tell all the stakeholders that if there is pressure of studies and competition on the children, then through positive thinking, remove them and help them move ahead with confidence,” she added further. 


“One thing I want to say to every child, young and old, is that you should always keep doing positive work as per your interests and be around positive thoughts and good company, in order to develop your inner strength. Be in the midst of such people who inspire you to walk on the right path and also support you in moving forward,” she further added.
