Every 3 minutes, India loses a life to suicide , isn't it terrible?
India is world's suicide capital. 1.71 lakh people give up on their lives annually. Behind every lost life their is a grieving family & the question has remained same over decades : Could this have been prevented?
Need for Action
Millions of people around us are affected by mental health crisis and yet 80% remain untreated. This silent tragedy devastates lives on social level and inflicts heavy economic toll. The solution? Early intervention through education.
The Petition: Making Mental Health Education Mandatory
We call on the Supreme Court to mandate mental health education in schools. Emotional intelligence and resilience should be taught to everyone. The importance of empathetic and compassionate listening must be preached. Studies suggest that these measures can save lives and reduce crimes.
Why this matters?

- Economic Impact: Over USD 1 trillion loss by 2030.
