With younger Indians and children dying by suicide, it is a new national crisis
The NCRB data showed approximately 31 children died by suicide every day in 2020, with a total of 11,396 deaths across the year. This is an 18% increase from 9613 such deaths in 2019 and 21% increase from the figure of 9413 such deaths in 2018.
