Suicide cases and steps to prevent its recurrences.

It is quiet shocking to learn that on an average over 1,00,000 people commit suicides in our country every year. According to the latest government report, the number of suicides in the past decade has recorded an increase of 21.6 per cent. The report has attributed family problems and illness to be the main reasons which account for 24 per cent and 19.6 per cent suicides out of the total suicides. Unemployment, debt , drug abuse, acute frustrations, failures in life and domestic violence are other contributing factors to growing incidents of suicide . Our government needs to come out with policies and create a conducive social and family environment to prevent recurrences of suicides.
