Two boys died by suicide in Rajasthan's Kota, India's coaching hub for aspiring engineers and doctors, within four hours on Sunday.
Anand Kumar, mathematician and founder of Super 30 coaching centre, has said he is "shaken" by two suicides on Sunday in Rajasthan's Kota, India's coaching district for aspiring engineers and doctors. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Mr Kumar made an appeal to coaching centres to consider the students "as your children" and pay attention to all of them. He also told students that one test is not the measure of their talent. Nearly two dozen students have died by suicide this year in Kota, the highest ever recorded. आज फिर से सिर्फ 4 घंटे के अंदर कोटा में 2 बच्चों के आत्महत्या की खबर ने मुझे हिलाकर रख दिया है | मैं तमाम कोचिंग संचालकों से यह अपील करता हूँ कि आप शिक्षा को सिर्फ आमदनी का जरिया नहीं बनाये और सभी बच्चों को अपना बच्चा समझकर उनपर ध्यान दें | और मैं विद्यार्थियों को समझाना चाहूँगा… pic.twitter.com/xV1w0Rva7B
"The news of suicide of two children in Kota within just four hours has shaken me. I appeal to all the coaching operators that you should not make education only a source of income and pay attention to all the children considering them as your children," Mr Kumar said on social media.
