The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) is outraged that governments are not taking scientific action to curb student suicides in Telugu states. The NHRC had in December last year directed the Chief Secretaries of the two states to report on student suicides in AP and Telangana.

The NHRC expressed displeasure at the lack of scientific measures taken by state governments to curb student suicides. The NHRC has directed the Chief Secretaries of AP and Telaangana to submit a comprehensive report within six weeks. The commission warned that they would have to appear before them if the reports were not provided.

According to the 2019 National Crime Records in Telangana, 426 students committed suicide and 383 students had committed suicide based on government crime records in the AP. Supreme Court Advocate Shravan Kumar has lodged a complaint with the NHRC against student suicides in Telugu states.

According to the complaint, students studying in private educational institutions in Telugu states are suffering from severe mental stress. Shravan Kumar said in the complaint that the authorities were not taking appropriate action to address this serious issue.
