Youth suicide

Every hour one student commits suicide in India, with about 28 such suicides reported every day, according to data compiled by the National Crime Records Bureau ( NCRB ). The NCRB data shows that 10,159 students died by suicide in 2018, an increase from 9,905 in 2017, and 9,478 in 2016 . As per reports from the National Crime Records Bureau(NCRB) between 2014 and 2016; 26,476 students committed suicide in India. Of these around 7,500 committed suicide due to failure in various examinations .

This is shocking right ? no one ever thought about this while everyone is talking about cancelling NEET a student is committing suicide, a family is loosing their daughter or son . Do we ever taught what would be the reason behind a suicide. No , we just frame a story ourselves But reality is kept unknown. Most of the students commit suicide because of stress of getting good marks , getting into a good college . We still live in a society where marks are important than knowledge even though time as proved it wrong

Now – a – days students enter into a examination hall like they are entering into a life or death situation there is nothing wrong with a teenager going with such a mindset but it is responsibility to make them realize its just a assessment parents , teachers and school management .

But the reality between each and every suicide is there parents who refuse to see there is a better future for their son/daughter beyond this marks and teacher who just wants to give 100 % just to get an increment and management who wants to provide 100% results to get more admission but is it really worth a young life ???

There are many organisations really working hard to avoid this kind of situation and they saved many lives but we all are seeing this situation from a wrong perspective its not student who need to be educated or motivated its their parents and educational institution .

Once Dr.A.P.J abdul kalam said “If you fail, never give up because FAIL means “First Attempt In Learning”. “Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.” “All of us do not have equal talent. But , all of us have an equal opportunity to develop our talents.”

I still strongly believe in his words that this nation lies in the hands of youth . So , I am not trying to say that education is not important all i am trying to say is we a life is more important.

Lets hope our society does better in this year..

Women’s safety

Is India a safer place for women’s , A recent survey says in India every 20 min a girl has been raped and even it is considered as a traditional place even though not a safer place for women’s to live and India has been ranked the most dangerous country for the women’s to live

What is the reason behind this ? how can this be rectified ? does Indian Government taking it seriously ?

If we have to understand this situation we have to start from our childhood . we have been never thought that women is just a opposite sex nothing more than that this is one of the reason behind this . Another reason is presence of few women police and there is a tendency that the victims of sexual violence somehow brought it on themselves if they were dressed in modern. In a 1996 survey of judges in India, 68 percent of the respondents said that provocative clothing is an invitation to rape.Perhaps the biggest issue, though, is women’s overall lower status in Indian society. For poor families, the need to pay a marriage dowry can make daughters a burden. India has one of the lowest female-to-male population ratios in the world because of sex-selective abortion and female infanticide. Throughout their lives, sons are fed better than their daughters, are more likely to be sent to school and have brighter career prospects.

Making law’s severe and punishing everyone is not a solution for this situation . People should be educated properly from their childhood. After a 23 year old medical student in Delhi has been brutally raped in bus which turned everyone’s attention towards India . There several things you need to follow to keep yourself safe while returning to home from work or staying alone at home : When possible, avoid walking alone. Walk with someone, or walk in areas where other people are near , Don’t let a stranger inside your home to use the phone; make the call for him ,Never admit that you or a neighbour are home alone .

In the recent past Delhi has been called as the rape capital of India due to numerous rape cases arose in the past . After this India has made the laws very severe and made police to patrol during night time to ensure safety and made several arrangements for the women’s working on a night shift . But expecting our laws to change is foolishness its better no change ourselves
