Only the parents can stop the suicide of students in Kota, not the system


- What to do to stop suicide? Within four hours of the committee being formed to make its recommendations, two students committed suicide

- The middle class finds medical and engineering as the two best careers for their children. Most of the middle class people have the absurd mentality that self-indulgent children will be successful only if they choose one of these two careers, otherwise they will be considered failures. Due to this, admission in reputed engineering colleges like IIT or NIT or medical colleges like AIIMS is their target. For that you have to score well in JEE and NEET. Parents put so much pressure on their children to get this good score that students break down in the fear of not being able to achieve it.

The issue of rising suicides of students taking coaching in Kota, Rajasthan to seek admission in top medical and engineering colleges of the country has been in the news for a long time but nothing was being done. Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot had formed a committee to make recommendations on what to do to stop suicides after expressing concern over the increasing number of suicides.

Before this committee started its work, the system went into overdrive as two students committed suicide within a span of just 4 hours on Sunday. The district administration of Safala Jagela Kota has issued an order that all coaching classes will not conduct weekly test for two months.

Among the students who committed suicide on Sunday, Aviskhar Sambhaji from Maharashtra's Latur was just 16 years old yesterday while Adarsh ​​Raj from Bihar was 18 years old. Avishkar committed suicide by jumping from the sixth floor of his hostel while Adarsh ​​hanged himself. Avishkar was preparing for NEET for three years and within five minutes of coming out of the exam hall after giving the weekly test, he committed suicide. Same thing happened in case of Adarsh ​​Raj, it means, this must have been happening for a long time, the paper must have gone badly and both of them must have felt that the expected result is not coming, so they must have got depressed.

The Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) for engineering admissions and the National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) for medical admissions are considered to be the toughest exams as millions of students appear for the exam and hence the competition is high. Students are committing suicide fearing that they will not pass this exam.

A total of 25 students including Aviskar and Adarsh ​​have committed suicide this year. It is still the beginning of the year and the weekly tests have already started, so everyone is worried about what will happen by the end of the year.

Kota district administration has also ordered to take some other measures to prevent suicide among students. Every hostel has been asked to put a net around it so that even if someone jumps off, they are saved.

It is also said to install spring-loaded fans in every room of the hostel so that in case of suicide attempts, the fan falls down. Orders have also been given to assign responsibility to people to monitor the students and counsel them immediately if any student appears depressed.

The police have also been asked to be alert as most of the suicide cases occur soon after the weekly-fortnightly tests conducted by the coaching classes. In these circumstances, if there is a police station outside the coaching center where there is a test, if any of the students who are coming out look depressed or are seen leaving quickly, if they are immediately stopped and calmed down, the risk of suicide will subside. The decision to commit suicide is made in a momentary impulse. No one commits suicide when that urge subsides.

It is good that the Kota district administration has woken up late but it is doubtful whether the measures ordered will stop the suicides. This is because the problem is psychological and more so social. Whatever measures the system takes, it does not make much difference because students who commit suicide take such extreme measures out of fear of their families. In order for students not to do that, there is a need to change the mindset of people, to change the beliefs about success that have become entrenched in the middle class.

This is the reason why suicides have increased in Kota, but actually this is a problem of the whole country because like Kota, students are committing suicide everywhere.

It cannot be denied that the middle class works hard to provide good education to their children. Despite not having the power to spend on their own, most of the middle class people do not hesitate to spend extra money to teach in a good school, get good tuition, etc. Their aim behind doing all this is to give their children a better future, but unfortunately, along with this aim, they also have big expectations.

The middle class finds medical and engineering as the two best careers for their children. Most of the middle class people have the absurd mentality that if their children choose one of these two careers then they are considered successful, otherwise they are considered failures.

Due to this, admission in reputed engineering colleges like IIT or NIT or medical colleges like AIIMS is their target. For that you have to score well in JEE and NEET.

Parents put so much pressure on their children to get this good score that students break down in the fear of not being able to achieve it. Parents also fear that if their children do not score well, they will be ridiculed in the society, so the pressure is on. If the score is not good, the student commits suicide fearing that the parents will be upset.

Parents have to be wise to avoid this situation. One has to develop the mindset that medical and engineering is not the only world or a successful career. You have to give warmth to your child continuously, even if you try but don't get a good score, there is no worry.

Parents will be so wise and sensitive that no student will commit suicide under the pressure of studying.

Up to 1 crore package to teachers, 10 thousand crore business

Kota's coaching class business is so big that anyone's eyes will burst. More than 100 classes for JEE-Main for important engineering degrees including IITs and NITs and NEET exams for admission to medical courses are full of quota. About 40 of these classes are where more than four thousand students are studying.

Kota's coaching class business is said to have an annual turnover of over Rs 10,000 crore. About two lakh students from across the country come to Kota for coaching. Fees starting from 5 lakh rupees to 2 crore rupees are charged from them.

A luxurious AC hostel has been built for the accommodation and study of these students. More than 10,000 teachers work to coach the students, out of which many are engineers from institutes like IITs and NITs. IITs and NITs with coaching classes only take them up on placements. The teachers whose names have been done get a package of up to one crore rupees annually.

45 students committed suicide in 2014, the actual figure is much higher

The fact that students commit suicide out of frustration in Kota may have come to people's attention now, but it has been going on for years. Even if we do not go back too long and look at the statistics given by the police for the last ten years, this will be understood.

According to these statistics, 45 students committed suicide in 2014. In 2015, 17 students committed suicide while in 2016, 16 students committed suicide. 7 students committed suicide in 2017, 20 in 2018 and 8 in 2019. Since 2020 and 2021 were the years of Corona, the classes were conducted online, so the rate of suicide decreased. In 2020 4 students committed suicide while in 2021 no one committed suicide.

Although at that time the students committed suicide out of frustration, even if cases were registered in their own cities and villages, it cannot be said that suicides have actually decreased. After the start of classes in 2022, 15 students committed suicide and now the number has reached 25.

The police admit that the actual number of students studying in Kota who committed suicide would be high as the Kota police only has the data of suicide cases in Kota. While studying in Kota, there is no data of those who committed suicide in their hometown or elsewhere.

Rising crude prices will cripple India's economy

Image
- It's time to look for alternatives to petrol-diesel - The main reason for the rise in crude prices is the increase in prices by Saudi Arabia and the increase in demand for petrol-diesel globally. The Russia-Ukraine war caused a shortage of crude. As demand increases so does the balance of supply and demand. The rest of the Saudis have announced a price hike, which has led to a drought-like situation. Petrol-diesel prices have come down as the central government last month reduced the excise duty on petrol by Rs 2 and diesel by Rs 4. Petrol-diesel prices are expected to rebound before people can enjoy the relief due to the fall in prices as global crude oil prices have started rising. On Friday, crude oil prices were quoted at ૨૫ 15 a barrel in global markets. Given the state of global crude production and the fact that crude is still expected to become more expensive, there are fears that petrol prices may cross another century. Diesel is also close to petrol so if diesel doe...

I am a single panth traveler... these young people don't have to get married

Image
- Comma - In a country like India where marriage is so important for both men and women that if a family has an unmarried son or daughter it becomes a topic of discussion among friends, family and relatives. Marriage is considered as the pillar of the family but slowly this pillar is starting to crack. First joint families changed to nuclear families, then women and men started taking responsibility for children alone and now many young people do not want to move towards marriage and then a life with children. For them, marriage is no longer a sacred bond of seven births, but a lifelong punishment. The gravity of the situation can be gauged from the report released by the Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation. According to this report, the proportion of unmarried youth in India is increasing. Is. In 2011, the number of unmarried youth was 17.2 percent, which has reached 23 percent in 2019. At the same time, in 2011 there were 20.8 percent of men who did not want to get ...

Crude oil prices came under pressure as demand slowed despite production cuts

Image
- Global market bounces but not sustained: In India, however, demand is likely to pick up in the October-March period. The world market of crude oil has recently seen a significant surge in prices. There are indications from the global market that crude oil prices are rising but not lasting and the trend is likely to be bullish. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies recently indicated that they will cut daily production by around two million barrels from November. Following such a signal, there was a flash of bullishness in crude oil prices in the world market. But this boom could not be sustained and prices have been seen falling back from the highs. In fact, lower-than-expected demand is the main reason crude oil prices remain under pressure, according to forecasts. Inflation has been increasing at the global level and due to this, interest rates have been increased by six weeks by the central banks of various countries of the world. Due to the...

Paving legal avenues for Pakistani artists, not realistically

Image
- There is a section in India that favors art and culture ties with Pakistan but the majority of Indians feel that terrorism and art and culture cannot go hand in hand. There should be no place for Pakistani artists in India when Pakistan nurtures terrorism in India, sheds the blood of innocent people. If Pakistan wants to have normal relations with India, it should maintain good relations on all fronts. Pakistan shows hostility towards India by nurturing terrorism and on the other hand Pakistani artists earn crores by working in India. The issue of whether or not there should be a complete ban on Pakistani artists in India has been debated for a long time. An application was also filed in the Supreme Court on this issue. The Supreme Court rejected this petition and refused to impose a complete ban on Pakistani artists from working in India. The Supreme Court has also advised petitioner Faiz Anwar Qureshi not to be 'extremely narrow-minded'. Faiz Anwar Qureshi claims that he...

Were there ever rules of war in human history?

Image
- The two wars currently being fought between Israel and Hamas are a kind of brutal war - Opinion - P. Chidambaram - Israel was created on the instructions of the United Nations and the Jewish people have been living on this land since 1948. Today's Israel has become so strong that it can single-handedly defeat its neighboring enemies. Not only do the current wars on Earth raise the question of whether the human race is really more intelligent and well-educated than other creatures, I fear we may not be back to being primitive. Primitives (Stone Age) fought wars with rules and today's countries are fighting without rules. Were there ever rules of war in human history? A poem written by Nettimayar laid down the ground rules for war between the Tamil kings. A king intending to wage war would utter a warning. In which it is said that cows, priests, women, the sick, those who do not have children to be cremated should hurry to a safe place because our arrows are reaching at ...

The dog's tail is bent, the light chin needs to be taught a lesson

Image
- China officially claims 8 areas of India as its own. Attempts to usurp these areas do just that. For this, Chaswar attacks. As a result of this, China calms down and after a few days comes back to fighting. China is very naive so it doesn't matter what India does or talks about its problems internationally. The border between China and India has flared up again. A clash between the armies of the two countries took place as they sought to capture the strategically important town of Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh on the India-China border. On December 9, 600 Chinese soldiers were about to infiltrate to remove the Indian post in Yangste, Tawang, but the Indian army was alert and did not enter. China has been trying to invade Tawang for a long time. As part of this, three times in the last one week, Chinese drones have crossed the border and entered Indian territory. Sukoi planes of Indian Air Force shot down this drone so there was no damage but our army knew that China would show i...
