India's Higher Education Faces Mounting Mental Health Crisis

Many students in India's colleges and universities are struggling with their mental health.

There has been a worrying increase in student suicides, which has caught the attention of the Supreme Court.

Issues like stress from studies, money problems, and feeling alone can make things hard.

To help, universities are urged to create a supportive environment.

This includes mental health education, peer support, and using apps to track and manage feelings.

Creating calming spaces and offering breaks from school can also help.

The goal is to make sure students feel supported and have access to help when they need it.
