Subha ki roshni utathi hain junoon se,

Kehthi hain “Aaj Karde kuch aisa kaam,

Keh na paye kaal tumhe namak-haram,”

Aur mein karvate badal ke utha hun,

Kehta hun, “kaal toh jane mera kaam,

Ladna toh hain ladke ko, pehle karlu aur thoda aaram.

Ab Ma-appa ki awaz gunj uthi hain kamron mein,

Unka hi karmon ka phal hain kamra aur iss chokre mein

Phir Meri phone ab gunj uthi hain dost aur karm ki awaz se.

Ab utke baitha hun is phone ke upkaar se.

Is din ka shuruat hogaya, jab aanke kuli toh raat sogaya.

Kar le hum karam muti ya miti mein, kaal chale dharm ya adharm ke path pein.

Ek shishu janam letha hain Matha-Pitha ke Ehsaan se, Sikshit hotha hain shikshako ke upkaar se, Karamchari banta hain apne karmbhoomi ke avsar aur asar se. Aur grihasth bante hain apne samajon ke parivar se. Lekhin amar banta hain to apne karmon ke mool-karan se.

A Child is born of his parents, A student is made by his Teachers, a worker is created by his co-workers, a family-holder is formed by his society, but an eternal life is formed from one’s inner reasons.

‘Change is the only constant’, what matters more is if the change is positive-positivating(Delta-) or negative-negativating(Delta+).

Changealogy is the study of change.

Its opposite is Constantology the study of constancy.

Our world has been, is and will be ever changing, daily the Earth receives the energy of the sun and maybe some matter from falling astroids. E and M of the whole world is in constant change. Also world Rotates & revolves while emitting radiation & gravitational waves.

1. Visible Problems:

Find to Resolve Root Causes of Student Depression/Suicides. Written so that we Prevent 1. Students’ Self-Abuse & 2. “Academic-Abuse” related harm, hostility, dropouts, covert-expulsions, Suicide-Sanctions & Deaths. And Promote “Academic-Nurture” causing help, hospitality, graduate pass_outs, overt-excellence, Suicide-Preventions & positive growth of Next-Gen Indians/GlobalStudents.

Basic Question of Post: How Can We Prevent Depression, Dropouts, Suicides & Deaths of any Student on or off campuses-Institutions (Schools, Colleges or UniverCitys) globally?

A Plea for Prevention of Academic-Suicides and Deaths from few IIx-ians Hearts. #Academic-Risks_Aware. The PLEASE Anti-Suicides Campaign for #SaferCampuses. #PLEASE-Campaign.

Global, Indian Institutes & IOEs can choose to be Institutes of Exclusion or Institutes of Empathy I.e  Institutes of Excellence in Exclusion or Excellence in Empathy. 

Universities are politicalized by control of the government Dominance of State-Politics is exhibited in University’s Anti-Diversity & Exclusion Vs “Prominance” by University_Diversity & Inclusion. 3 Top Hidden Traps on Campuses that entraps more neo first generation and naive untrained students.

On Road you may see signs of  (“Horn Ok Please”) & On UnSafe & unAlert Campuses we need to put up (“WARN OK PLEASE”).

Lets Stop the Overt-tacts & let’s get the Covert-FACTS Right into the light of public eye & reason.

What are your reasons for the below 2 Event & Statistics..??

1. Most Recent of Student-Suicides(2023 to 2020):

IIT Delhi Student: https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/delhi-news/iit-delhi-student-hangs-self-in-hostel-room-101693619997123.html

Bangalore Students https://m.timesofindia.com/city/bengaluru/law-student-hangs-himself-in-pg-room/articleshow/102483163.cms

https://www.rediff.com/news/interview/why-did-darshan-solanki-have-to-die/20230215.htm.

2. Recent DropOuts: https://indianexpress.com/article/education/over-19000-sc-st-and-obc-students-dropped-out-from-central-universities-in-5-years-centre-tells-rajya-sabha-8527604/

The reported news have mostly superficial and Savefacial information.. for deeper answers & own insights continue reading to end of page.

2. Invisible Deep Root Causes:

Question#1: How to change Current Indian Institutes of Traps/Tyranny (Dark side of IITs/IIxs) to more Indian Institutes of Transformations (Brighter side of IITs/IIxs) ??

#PLEASE_SOS_Save our Students Now.

One Sentence Summarized Answer for Q#1: Let’s Ban FANS (Fear, Anger, Narcs and Suppressions) and get the FACTS (Friendly-Fraternity, Altruism, Care, Transparency and Support) Right in Academia and Campuses.

Why Suicides are more closely linked with Students, Faculties & others in Academia-EduSystem? What can be done to help mitiGate? #SOS #Save-Our-Students Souls silenced by the Asouls.

There can be more HOPE, when there are enough regular, reachable & reliable resources to cope. When authoritative-people & facilitative-places take responsibility for their liability and rely less on their Lie-ability.

Two Equations for Students Resilience Vs Risky-Silence.

Eq1: Students_Resilience = Cumulative Assets of  Resources of Capital- (Materials, Means, Morals & Men(Family-Relatives-TruFriends)+ Responsible Guides (Faculty) + Reasoning (Biasless) Peers + Reliable Support-System (Institute Admins+).

Eq2: Students_Risks:  Cumulative Liabilities of Forces of Distraction/Bias + Fake Imposing Imposter Guides + Floppy Communal Peers + Flaky Negligent-Support (Institute-Adminstration).

Please Campaign for Safer-Campuses globally. Helpful For All Edu-Systems I.e Places (Academic Institutions, Colleges, Schools etc) & Agents-Stakeholders i.e People (Students, Professors, Teachers, Facilitators..etc).

Lets Please help remove F.A.Ns (Fears, Animosity & Negativity) from our Campus Communities it may help us be an integrated-community with inteGRITy (Grit Comes with Integrity). And we need to replace fans with A.C Instead i.e Awareness & Care+Compassion (Real & deep not just ineffective eyewashes) #ReplaceFan2AC.

Tears (Symptoms) can be wiped temporarily by giving Tissues.. (Psychologists)

& Fears (Root-Causes) can be wiped out permanently by seeing clearly & re-solving paining Issues. (Systemologists)

Let’s let-go of Fear Mongering or Denials, & Takeup Fear-Managing & Remedials.

“PLEASE-Campaign” Aims to: ‘Create Suicide-free Educational Institutions by forming Positive, Safe & Supportive Edu-Cultures in Campus/Schools/Academia.’ Stop loss of Indian-Students Life.

The 3S final-Outcomes of a Life-journey are (Suicide-AMIS(-ve)/ Stunting(Status-Quo) (0neutral)/ Success (+ve)) this relates to SR-Ratio.

‘Shared_Responsibility_Ratio (SRR%)’ of Life = 40%Student (You/Individual) +30%Family/Society(Your-DearOnes/1stCircle) +20%School-Institute/Office/(Your-Nearones/2ndCircle)+10% The Higherones (Nation, Religion, Ideology..etc.(Tax, Tithe & Donations)

Your Life = Cumulative Function of { You(One) (@Mind+Body+Spirit) + DearOnes (@Home/Hearth/Clan) + NearOnes (@Study/Work/Play/Pray) + HigherOnes/ (@Community/City/Nation/Earth)}.

Above maybe a generalized-Ratio for students/employees variable as per specific cases. Eg. in case of Sundar Pichai the ‘SRR% for success’ maybe assessed by SRR%-auditor as 40%SundarPichai +30%IIT(Ind) +30%Google(US) but one’s claim can be 80%Sundar +9%Google +1%IIT. Incase of Sushant Singh-Suicide the SRR% by media maybe 40%Sushant@self+40%Bollywood@work+20%Nearones@home by his family/SSRians is 10%Sushant+80%Workplace+10%Family.

3. Viable Integrated Solutions

Basic Premises:

1. Safer Environments are less risky for Physical-accidents also Mental-Accidents(Emotional-Trauma/Depression/Suicides). More Caring+Responsible(Vigilant-Helpful) the environment lesser incidents of loss, and more Careless+Irresponding (Negligent-Callous) the environment more the loss.

2. Students-Suicides are preventable with use of multi-interventions, policy & protocols. (Medical, Social,  Organizational, Institutional,  Design, etc)

3. Along with removing ceiling-fans Facilitating ‘healing-fans’ of Suicide-Preventers in community (Gate-Keepers, PRIYA-Mitras & Peer-Specialists)

Indian-Educational System is Hurting the Future-India by increasing Suicides-Rates in Academia on Campuses(Higher & also Basic Secondary Education Kota-Suicides) across India.. as in 3 news articles highlighted below. which are from II-X (IIT+IIM+IISc+NIT….+II-X all National Institutes).

How to Reduce the Indian-Suicides in Indian Education System?

How many more Academic/Student-deaths are in private colleges? Annual Suicide-rates may be worse across the nation if accounted. Keeping in mind past 2 years of corona have amplified the already visible gaps(Pre-Corona Stats).

Who are we to discuss this Issue in this PLEASE- campaign-article.. 1. I Am a Concerned-Citizen of India and The Indian Citizens who are dying are my Brothers & Sisters. I see this is affecting the future of Us India.

2. I am an Involved-Alumni of IIXs and It hurts me to see that a place that is my alma matter hasn’t seriously enough take up this matter of urgent concern. We are observing the news in Media & our student-circles. there is lack of communications, accountability and responsibilities from the Heads and Arms of the Institutions, There seems a deafening Silence across the campuses and both Silence and Violence Kills the Vulnerable while aiding the negative-factors/Perpetuators..

It’s the listening ears/hearts & helping voices of 1. Admins assurance and 2. Peers Support that heals-Injuries, Relieves-pains and may saves lives in addition to 3.third party medicines or counsellors. Counsellors and Health workers are to be the last resort not the first. The First Go-To needs to be the Supportive-Faculty/Admins with Open Door Policy or have an Edu-Ombudsman, The Campus are intented Spaces of Learning where the Culture/system is set by example of the Admins, Faculty and Seniors where the young-students are inducted to the Academic life and oriented towards SocioMental-Wellness that is Foundational for Academic & Life- Excellence.

3. I personally have seen at close quarters Academic-Stress in Schools, increases by Bullying/Mobbing and harassments at Colleges+Institutes’ Toxic-Cultures, Students deteriorated Mental Health+ Depression+Suicides. Having myself survived darkness of depression and systemic-neglects want to help in improving the system/culture to make it healing & excellent for VishwaGuru EduIndia2030.

1. Accounted Suicides Stats Revealed by Education-Ministry. https://www.edexlive.com/news/2021/dec/23/govt-says-34-iit-students-died-by-suicide-from-2014-21-but-news-reports-point-to-52-deaths-26442.html

3. Suicide Sameday as above 5 years back in 2016 which brought light to Institutional-Suicides. Rohith Vemulas Case: https://thewire.in/caste/two-years-later-rohith-vemulas-soul-still-haunts-us-failing

No detailed commission, study-report or Investigations have been done nor critical questions being raised in the Intellectual arenas of Academia or Media or Politico-Legal Intellentsia. There are dark Knowledge and Intent gaps towards understanding and resolving the Issue of Student-Suicides in Academic Institutions.

What are the Top Root Causes of Students getting depressed and suicidal on campuses? How can they be studied & Identified?

Why our Institutes of eminence(IITB & IISc) are gaining Eminence also by Campus-Suicides, this needs to be addressed at all levels of 1.Ministry, 2.Consortium(PAN-IITs), 3.Institutes-Admin, 4.Faculty-Body

5.Students-Body &

6. Parents/ Family, Relative and Friends (Suicide Loss Survivors).

7.Ranking Bodies

8. Media+Medical Fraternity.

What Can the Institutes and Education Sector do to make itself Suicide-free zones and more Pro-Life Environments of Excellence.? Our Universities can become Vishwa Gu-Ru(Remover of Darkness) again instead of Jeva-Ru(Remover of Life).

How to make academics safer for the unaware, innocent,Vulnerable/Marginalized Indian Students.?
How to make our Indian Students(who are Vulnerable from weaker sections of public) more Resilient & Supported in the Education-systems to enable Academic-life Success.

We the people have seen enough of the same old official-games, blame-games & Blame the Victim game over and over again. When can we play the “Lets-Make it right” game? As Stakeholders each of us holds a key to systemic-changes with our ideas and efforts.

When a students acquires the admission with full heart and mind he is entering the campus/school with a hope for a caring and nurturing environment of learning and growth. What can the student do if experiences cultural shock of mobbing, othering and discrimination facilitated by the admins. Can the Institutes put on record how many harrassment-complaints had be lodged and how many resolved fairly? What can one do if the conplaints portals are themselves dysfunctional like the admins-fairplay.

This needs Serious Systemic Educational-Cultural Reforms and Revamp; This is the reason for Proposing the ‘PLEASE Campaign4 Happy-AcademicLife & SuicideFree Environment“.

This the Institutes can provide by creating a good Anti-Suicide and Pro-Life organizational culture. We can do this Transformation in simply 3 steps.

1. Be Self-Aware: PLEASE Refer the link below

2. Share awareness to the head Principal of Your Institutes where you are a student or alumni. Culture changes the system.

3. Consider Institute-Suicides Numbers in Academic Rankings & Deptartment-Profiles. https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/about-the-times-higher-education-world-university-rankings

4.Update Campus H.S.E (Health, Safety and Environment) Policy to reflect Depression & Suicide Prevention Protocols, like Fire Safety drills & Emergency Response Team. Have Crisis Drills & Emotional Response Teams available to students. QPR aware SPOCS, Create Buddy systems with help of mentoring alumnis/seniors.

Have benchmark from this resource. https://afsp.org/university-and-college-campus-suicide-prevention

This is the Honk Or Horn we need to send to the Institute Heads to make it/System/Org Cultures.. OK.

So Let’s 1.PLEASE 2.Horn to make it 3.OK!!!.

Must Read: https://www.gse.harvard.edu/news/uk/18/07/what-makes-good-school-culture

1. The above is primarily a proposal for intervention from Top-Down.(Needs Admins Efforts)

2. The ineffective and superficial efforts happening now is the bottom up approach where expectation is for students to seek help with higher ups. What if the cause of hurt is higher ups or peers? (Needs The Victim/Students Efforts)

There is another approach which is Peer-Peer support systems to build resilience in students. (Needs the Peer Groups Efforts for resolutions)

Here is the Idea: https://grpvcare2dare.design.blog/2021/01/26/s45-i-want-us-all-to-survive-thrive-my-tryst-with-suicide-prevention/

Acknowledgements: This Blog is dedicated to all the Students who lost their lives to Preventable-Suicide especially to Rohith Vemula from University of Hyderabad, Suicide Victim of IIT-Bombay. We had discussed this issue with multiple discussion groups. I thank you. The discussions have helped a deeper view into the issue I credit The Empathic-Skeptics Science Groupmates, The BARI Groupmates, the Margadarshi groupmates for the evolution of the ideas here. I aim to be a channel for the unheard/suppressed pains in students/victims/victors hearts voiced in the EoE Spaces.

To this situation there is also a vital angle of Systemic-Discriminations Induced Depression/Suicide-Abettment which is invisible to ‘biases-blind institutions’ & can be addressed by Project-JaiBhim Below:

S88: Project #JaiBhim-India_2030: Sharing Vision for ‘Indian_Egalitarianism’.

Conclusion: P.L.E.A.S.E Campaign is a seed for progression towards a dream of a suicide-free academic-India. Need watering and care and also people to plant the seeds of this tree in each campus around the world for Suicide-Proofing with empthics Our Worlds.

P.L.E.A.S.E: Learn to See and Use the SSR% in your and Others lives around you. This will help make our campus Suicide-free.

As Social-beings Human-Connections are a great influence on the psyche of a person it can build one up or tear one down. Make Sure you & your dear ones are Connected with the right people and life_environments. https://personalexcellence.co/blog/average-of-5-people/

Maybe this phrase/adage  ‘A person is average of 5 people he ‘ needs to be reframe in this context a Depressed or Expressed Student is average of 5 people-sets who are :

1.Hirs Biological+Sociological Mother+MaternalDearones 2.Hirs Father+PaternalDearones 3.Hirs Teachers+Princi&Nearones(Books/Idealogies too) 4.Hirs Friends@Neighbhorhood&play 5.Hirs Colleague@Work&GovtOffices&PurposeGroups.

A lil girl(Saraswati-swarupa name guessed) was my guru in this art. I don’t remember her name or where/when we met, but I remember the art she shared with me.. of giving meaning to a word using the letters in the word itself.. It’s a beautiful Word-play to encode the meaning of a word with the letters its formed by. She asked do you know what is ‘XYZ’? I don’t remember the exact words and she gave the meaning, where the word becomes an acronym for the definition.

I thank the Anonymous-gurl and make use of the art she taught me here. I hope you like and use it. If you find the lil nameless-girl who does this share my thanks to her and her to me here. This page is dedicated to the lil gurl.

The foundations

This can be changed for the better

I remember used to get a wishes & a phone call on my birthday from my one elder cousin sister. She was a frail thin girl due to the TB of lungs she had only 1.5 of her lungs, But she had 1.5x of more compassion and heartfulness than many of us.

Tributes with gratitude to all my Sisters in Life who have given me more than what I could give them back.

She used to walk me home from our Convent School carefully, I am ever grateful to her love and care. We were in the same school in Bengaluru.

I remember her geometry box, she used to carry money in it and get me snacks on the way back. Sometimes Bhel puri and sometimes sweets & chocolates. I was a naughty kid I am sure I would have troubled her pestered to get me stuffs, she would pacify and make me calm. Hehehe..

This is strange but once she wrote a proxy for me in my exam in 1st or 2nd std thankfully i grew out of that stage. I was never interested in study as I was hyperactive I now think maybe it was the sugar and chocolate overdose. I grew up on loads of Dairy milk chocolate bars. Poor sister I came to know later in Life, she was a child of a parent who was an alcoholic who abandoned them. I dint know the pain she suffered also as an abuse at the hands of a elderly relative.I feel in her miserable life she still shared the small stuffs that mattered a lot like the chat stall and the yearly call.

She breathed her last very young at age of 19-20years.. I wish I had met her to say goodbye but I was a kid who dint know about death, I dint know what’s a final bye. Writing this I have tears in my eye, for the years of care she gave me. Here is a letter I might have written her if she were alive.

I thank you Banuakka for showing me your sisterly love and care, I am ever indebted and I dint know what your conditions were and what your pain was. But you always smiled and spoke with love which was like the desert rose. Its unfortunate that the house which had a caring rose like you also had so many thorns. I pray for your memories and I also met your friend Jayaprada Akka sometime she is fine. We fondly remembered u together. THANKS FOR BEING THERE FOR ME, even when I could not be there for you. Thank you, Your lil Bro, Prasad.G

Another sister who stood for me is a new person, she is very understanding and helpful, we celebrated pongal at an event. Sometimes She knows my mind even better than I know myself. She recommended some movies to guide me. She is very knowledgeable. Yesterday in a group of about 140. There was a situation where I was misunderstood & targetted with name-calling and character assassination. I defended my self & couldn’t sleep the night with traumatic dreams. She was the only one who spoke up for me/my justice in the group, and it meant a lot to me. I remembered the care and love of an elder-sister my dear Banuakka in here. I thank her for speaking up all it takes in a babel of loud false accusations is just a feeble true word on behalf of your voice. It can change the whole scenario. She dint realize the little gesture was the call which made me stand tall. It set the motion in the group and the false-accusing voices beat a retreat and exited the scene. I thank the SAINTly sister for speaking up for what is right and ethical. She is a siddha doc and she knows the siddhanta of being fair and just even in the face of international and global biggies, the truth always triumphs when even one voice shares just one truth among the volley of lies. Just like how a tiny flame can light up a dark room.

Thanks sister Hema for your kindness and responsibility of an elder sister, I wish more brothers have sisters like you and Banuakka. The world will be a more better place.

Even without Raksha Bandan can help prevent Rakshasa Bandhan, all it takes is a free-voice with true-words.

My Heart goes out to all my genuine Sisters both elders and younger sisters who have shared an Unconditional bond of bro-Sistherhood with me, I am evergrateful for their Kindness, Affection and Care.
