It
is estimated that over 100,000 people die by suicide in India every year. India
alone contributes to more than 10% of suicides in the world. The suicide rate in
India has been increasing steadily and has reached 11.2 (per 100,000 of
population) in 2011 registering 78% increase over the value of 1980 (6.3).
Majority of suicides occur among men and in younger age groups. Despite the
gravity of the problem, information about the causes and risk factors is
insufficient.
