People aged between 15-24 have the highest suicide rate in India. The average suicide rate among students in India is increasing at a rate of 30% every year.

Recently chief justice of India DY Chandrachud mentioned that the suicide rate among marginalised sections such as Adivasi and Dalit communities is increasing as per the latest research report.

Even after 75 years of India’s independence the discrimination against dalit communities still persists and we are creating an institute of eminence but we also need to create an institute of empathy so that discrimination against the downtrodden should be eliminated.

 Judges can not ignore the social realities and they have to take into consideration the existing discrimination which is rampant against the Dalit and Adivasi communities.

Chief justice mentioned that –

Not acting on incidents of abuse and bullying,not providing support mechanisms ,ending fellowship ,normalizing stereotypes through jokes,are some of the basic things which every educational institution must stop.
