The City of New York is the most populous city in the United States with an estimated population of 8,537,673 in 2016, distributed over a land area of about 302.6 square miles (784 km2). It is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. Due to the headquarters of the United Nations in New York, it is an important center for international diplomacy and has been described as the cultural, financial, and media capital of the world. Due to this there is huge network of taxis for better commutation of passengers from one place to another with ease, comfort, luxury and most importantly time saving.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City |title= About New York City |publisher=}}</ref><br />

Yellow Medallion Taxicabs are one of the icon to New York City. There are currently over 13,000 licensed taxicabs and over 50,000 taxicab drivers providing transportation for passengers in all five boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, Staten Island) via street hails. Medallion taxicab are owned by private companies but licensed by Newyork City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC).<ref>{{cite web |url=www.nyc.gov/html/tlc/html/industry/yellow_taxi.shtml |title= About Yellow medallion |publisher=}}</ref><br />

These taxis are driven at an average of 180 miles per shift. Evening hours are typically more lucrative. Medallion Taxis make between 300,000 and 400,000 trips a day. The morning shift typically begins at 6:30 a.m., and the evening shift often starts at 5:15 p.m.; trips peak Friday evenings.<ref>{{url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicabs_of_New_York_City |title=Taxicabs_of_New_York_City |publisher=}}</ref><ref>{{url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boroughs_of_New_York_City |title=Boroughs_of_New_York_City |publisher=}}</ref><br />

Introduction

Motivation

India, the second largest country in world population, possess stable economy, increasing literacy rate, large volume of work-force generator in almost all the fields from low level to high level job positions, exporter of many commodities, sound in technological advancements, is still struggling to enter in the developed nation's pool. Even after 70 years of independence, it still fighting with many deep routed problems like poverty, illiteracy, regional conflicts and so on. All these factors are equally responsible for degrading the growth of any nation. Out of many other factors, committing suicides is one factor which should be taken into consideration and resolved as efficiently as possible. This act not only affects the family members of the victim but also the society as a whole. This shows the emotional quotient of the society and the various pressures the countrymen are facing.

Objective

Through this project, we are trying to help the government agencies and NGOs to look into this situation seriously and identify the target areas where they can introduce educational programs and help people to overcome this situation which leads them to end their life. This will help them answer the questions such as:

  • Where is this situation severe (states of India)
  • What are the reasons behind this action (causes)
  • What are the methods adopted (means), and
  • What are the demographics of the victims (age group, education, social status, etc).

The answers to these questions will also help them understand and formulate the role of society to help them reduce suicide rates in India.
