The Cost of Being a Student in India

The Indian education system is facing a crisis, marked by tragic incidents and systemic failures. Recent events, including student suicides in Kota, NEET UG paper leaks, and the UGC NET exam cancellation, highlight the urgent need for reform. The relentless pressure on students is exacerbating mental health issues, creating a toxic environment. Comprehensive changes, including better regulation of coaching institutes, improved mental health support, and a shift towards holistic development, are essential to address these challenges.
