Supreme Court Holds Higher Education Institutions Accountable for Student Suicides

Supreme Court Holds Higher Education Institutions Accountable for Student Suicides

The Supreme Court of India has told colleges and universities that they must do more to help students who are feeling very sad or stressed.

This is because many students have been dying by suicide, and the number has been going up.

The court said that schools need to have people who can talk to students about their feelings and help them.

They also said that schools should give more money to students who need it.

The court is worried because many schools don't have enough help for students who are feeling sad, and this needs to change.
