Suicides in Rural India

Suicides in rural India are a significant public health issue influenced by factors like poverty, agricultural stress, lack of access to mental health care, and social pressures. Farmers often face crop failures, debt, and limited support, which can lead to feelings of despair. Also, restricted educational and economic opportunities can increase vulnerability. These suicides reflect complex social, economic, and psychological challenges, highlighting the need for improved mental health services, financial stability measures, and community support systems to address underlying causes and prevent tragedy.
