Jamshedpur – Dr. Mahavir Ram, founder of Jeevan, and Director Dr. Jivraj Jain have expressed deep concern over the alarming rise in suicide rates in Jamshedpur.

With 35 suicides reported in the first three months of 2023, the city is witnessing an average of one suicide every two days until April this year.

Dr. Ram emphasized the need for deep contemplation and preventive measures to address this growing issue, which is taking on epidemic proportions.

Jeevan held a discussion to identify the causes and potential remedies for the increasing suicide rates in the region.

Dr. Ram and Dr. Jain informed that Jeevan has been conducting regular workshops in schools, including during the COVID-19 pandemic.

They acknowledged the positive effects of these workshops but clarified that the four child suicides in the last three months were unrelated to stress or anxiety.

Dr. Jain urged people from all walks of life to come forward and provide cooperation in addressing the issue, considering it their social responsibility. Saving even one life would be commendable,” he said.
