India covers around 17.8% of world population, about 800,000 people commit suicide worldwide every year, and out of this 17% are Indian residents. This is a huge number especially for a developing nation like India it can hamper its growth. As the world is moving towards Smart Nations, India being one of them being enrolled into it, there is high need to educate the people on the consequences of such an act.<br />

From our analysis, we will try to find out the patterns and various factors that lie behind such an action that becomes vital to one’s life.

Even after 70 years of independence, it still fighting with many deep routed problems like poverty, illiteracy, regional conflicts and so on.

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.

  • Where is this situation severe (states of India)
  • What are the reasons behind this action (causes)
