IndiaThe Supreme Court of India announced that the final report of the National Task Force (NTF), established to investigate student suicides, will be ready by November 2025. This follows the suicide of a 31-year-old IIT Delhi student in August 2025, which the court described as 'unfortunate.' The NTF has been investigating factors contributing to student suicides, including mental health challenges, lack of medical services on campus, and systemic barriers faced by disadvantaged students. The court previously issued directives to higher educational institutions (HEIs) to improve accountability for student well-being, including mandatory reporting of suicides and providing round-the-clock medical assistance. The NTF's interim findings revealed significant gaps in mental health support and infrastructure at most HEIs.
