A recent report of the World Health Organisation (WHO) states that every 40 seconds, somebody is committing suicide in the world. It also states that maximum suicides are in India and every 2 minutes, there is a suicide in India.
In 2012, there have been 2.5 lakh suicides in India. Mostly the suiciders are youngsters in the age group of 15-29 years. A good number are farmers.
It is high time that the government seriously look in to the matter and find out the reasons and take preventive action.
