I read somewhere that as a solution for student suicides, IISc has decided to remove fans from hostel rooms. No fan, no suicide. This should be taught in the training classes for psychotherapists. IITD has a main building that has 7 floors. Long ago, there were a few suicides by students jumping off the top floor. Luckily the authorities did not remove lift, stairs and ramp access to the top floor as a solution for this problem.
Suicides among young people is a heart breaking, serious and complex problem. Who comes up with frivolous solutions for such a serious issue?
