The youth of today, leading their lives with dreams and aspirations, deserve to feel secure in their environment, but the reality is often harsh and unforgiving. As a student, I am acutely aware of the immense pressure and expectations placed upon young shoulders. Just like many of my peers, I sometimes feel the overwhelming weight that comes with academic and social responsibilities.

In recent times, we've witnessed heart-wrenching incidents of students taking drastic measures like suicide due to unbearable pressures. Sadly, instead of support and empathy, too many of these cases are brushed aside without true justice being served. This tragic cycle of neglect must end.

At Jantar Mantar, determined individuals and various student groups have united in a hunger strike, standing against this injustice and demanding accountability from those in power. This movement has been initiated to ensure that each case of student suicide is thoroughly investigated and that justice is served to the victims and their families.

Additionally, we demand accountability from our education leaders. The current Education Minister has shown negligence in addressing these severe issues impacting student welfare. His resignation will pave the way for a dedicated and empathetic leader who prioritizes student mental health and safety.

The voices of students and citizens cannot be ignored. The government must prioritize reforms in the educational system to create a nurturing environment where students do not feel isolated or hopeless.

Join us in supporting this cause. Signing this petition is a step toward a better future for students across the nation. Let’s unite and ensure that no young life is lost to the silence and negligence of the system.
