NEET Victim's Family Demands Education Reforms After Minister's Resignation

Sujit Dhage, an 18-year-old boy from Maharashtra, took his own life due to the stress of the NEET examination and family responsibilities.

His family is now demanding reforms in the education system after the resignation of the Union Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan.

The family, which is economically weaker, has not yet received official communication about the compensation announced for victims' families.

Sujit's elder brother has recently secured admission to a management studies course.

The family believes the pressure of balancing aspirations with family responsibilities and the uncertainty surrounding the NEET examination significantly affected Sujit's mental well-being.
