Did you know that every three minutes, India loses someone to suicide? That’s a staggering number, and behind each one is a story of heartbreak—a child, a parent, a friend—who felt alone and unheard. With 468 lives lost every single day, it’s time we face the reality: India is the world’s suicide capital, and we can’t just stand by.
We’re in the middle of a silent crisis. Millions of people are struggling with mental health issues, yet so many suffer in silence because of stigma and neglect. Out of 150 million Indians who need mental health care, only 30 million actually get it. The rest are left to fight their battles alone, often with tragic results.
But here’s where we can change the game. We’re calling on the Supreme Court of India to make mental health education a required subject in schools, starting from the first grade. Why? Because teaching kids about their emotions and how to cope can make a world of difference. Imagine a future where children grow up understanding themselves and supporting each other!
By signing this petition, you’re not just adding your name; you’re joining a movement to create a kinder, more emotionally aware generation. Studies show that untreated mental health issues are linked to 95% of crimes. If we tackle this early, we can help reduce crime and build a happier, safer India.
We need to gather 1 million signatures in 100 days to make our Public Interest Litigation (PIL) stronger. Your voice matters! Together, we can spark conversations, break the stigma, and push for real change.
So, what can you do? Sign the petition, share it with your friends and family, and let’s turn this movement into something powerful. Let’s make sure no child feels alone, no family suffers in silence, and no life is lost to despair.
