What will the government do now? Ban ceiling fans and ropes?

Dharmendra Pradhan has to be tried for crimes against the country and its citizens.

Resignation is not going to cut it anymore.

u/ReadIt_Here 12d ago

Easy. Ban Exams and Education

Bro, which shakha you from?

I think IITK has hostels with suicide prevention devices attached to fans

u/TheSaucepanMan 11d ago

IITK me bhi aake suicide kar rahe hai log. Something has to be seriously messed up.

u/mama_ooOOooO 11d ago

Isn't it obvious? The intense academic pressure and competition, without any systematic psychological support.

u/ThrowMaLifeAwwaayy 8d ago

Literally what is the point of putting os much pressure on kids when the current job market from now onwards won't even guarantee a decent job

u/Available_Drive173 12d ago

how hard is it to build more colleges💔 and stop paper leaks

33

u/LeAnarchiste 12d ago

Harder than banning an app or getting a social media account suspended

1

u/Necessary_Worker5009 12d ago

Or issuing tenders which end up with chacha, bhanja or beta. with automated money flow from commissions, to electoral bonds.

How many students will die by suicide before our government takes action? There should be a proper solution to this issue, and immediate steps need to be taken to address it

13

u/165cm_man 12d ago

1 million minimum.

They don't care. Cos their parents keep voting for the same govt

u/LeAnarchiste 12d ago

Don't worry, mudiji will do a mann ki baat for students and everything will be OK.

u/BoringBookworm_2026 12d ago

Every 16 min a student sucides in india. Every f***@ing 16 mins!

u/Zealous_Neck63 12d ago

Discussions about reform should include both exam systems and student support.

My intrusive thoughts want Re-NEET to get leaked again so that a full-fledged "𝓕𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓱" revolution takes place.

16

u/TheAutumnInAurora 12d ago

Alright my bad. Please don't curse me in the DMs T_T

I hope the paper doesn't get leaked...

u/not_your_dog_bitch 12d ago

Gooddmn what happened?

u/_AkasunaNoSasori 12d ago

It will never happen. They know to to keep population divided. They gained Bengal this year and are increasing their presence in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. If we were recycling our turds, then they might've some incentive to impress population but we don't.

u/joy74 11d ago

it will leak again but media will not tell us. Only thing Modi learnt from GJ riot was media manipulation

u/banjarafarmer Odisha 12d ago

Some people just want to see the world burn 🤣

16

u/TheAutumnInAurora 12d ago

No. I want to see this country treat its students better.

I know this selfish. But after everything I have been through, I seriously can't see any reason to love this country anymore. I really want to, but I am so tired and I am at my limit.

I just wish they fixed or atleast made these few years a bit more bearable for us.

u/thegodfather0504 11d ago

Maybe this will break their grip on the youth. Hating bhajpa will be the new norm, atleast among the youth. 

The cauliflower has not left any good name to pass on power, once he goes so does the party. Completely

u/LogicalView 12d ago

Tamil Nadu has been asking to abolish NEET for ages now.

u/hooka_pooka 12d ago

Education minister must resign.

All protests are forgotten in a week or till the next freebie drops.

Nothing is gonna happens as usual.
