An average 31 children died by suicide every day in India in 2020, according to government data. The experts have underlined that the Covid-19 pandemic may have accentuated the psychological trauma faced by children to a great extent.
According to the National Crime Records Bureau data, 11,396 children died by suicide in 2020, an 18 per cent rise from 9,613 such deaths in 2019 and 21 per cent rise from 9,413 in 2018.
'Family Problems' (4,006), 'Love Affairs' (1,337) and 'Illness' (1,327) were the main causes of suicide among children (below 18 years of age). Ideological causes or hero worshipping, unemployment, bankruptcy, impotency or infertility and drug abuse were other reasons behind suicide by some children.
Prabhat Kumar, Deputy Director &ndash; Child Protection, Save the Children, said Covid-19 and the resultant school closures and social isolation coupled with anxiety among elders have further aggravated the issue of mental health and brought it to the forefront.
"While we as a society are cognisant of tangibles such as education and physical health for building national human capital, emotional wellbeing or psycho-social support often takes a back seat. The successively increasing number of suicides among children reflects a systemic failure. It is a collective responsibility of parents, families, neighbourhoods, and government at large to provide a conducive ecosystem where children can look forward to realizing their potential and fulfilling their dreams for a bright future. Committing suicide, on the contrary, is an antithesis," Kumar told PTI.
"Stigma attached to mental health and an abysmally low number of per capita mental health professionals demand urgent attention. Covid-19, and the resultant school closures and social isolation coupled with anxiety among elders has further aggravated the issue and brought it to the forefront. Save the Children calls for a collective action to nurture an encouraging and supportive ecosystem for children and youth," he added.
Commenting on the topic, Priti Mahara, Director, Policy Research and Advocacy at CRY-Child Rights and You, said from the very beginning of the pandemic, it was one of the major concerns that it might impact children's mental health and psycho-social well-being, and the recent NCRB data actually underscores the fear that the pandemic may have accentuated the psychological trauma faced by the children to a great extent.
"As the NCRB data reveals, a total of 11,396 children (5,392 boys and 6,004 girls) have died by suicide in 2020, which accounts for 31 deaths per day or approximately 1 child committing suicide per hour," she told PTI.
"Children have gone through tremendous emotional stress and trauma due to home confinement and lack of interaction with friends, teachers or any other person in the position of trust due to prolonged closure of schools and limited social interactions," she said.
Many of them have been through hostile environment at home, many others have seen demise of their loved ones and have faced the impact of fear of contagion and deepening financial crisis at the family level, she said.
Many children have also experienced huge uncertainty related to completion of curriculum, exams and results.

'He was so shattered, he was cornered, and then I do not know where did he go'
are the words of a heartbroken mother whose son has been missing since June 2nd.&nbsp;
Aditya&nbsp;Tiwari, a Delhi-based rapper who goes by the stage name of MC Kode&nbsp;has been facing heavy trolling for the past 2 weeks, which his mother says became overwhelming for the young rapper.&nbsp;
Before he went missing, the 23-year-old rapper&nbsp;who had earned quite a name for himself in the entertainment industry posted a worrisome&nbsp;cryptic&nbsp;story on&nbsp;Instagram. The message that Tiwari&nbsp;wrote from in front of the isolated Yamuna&nbsp;bridge suggested that he was going to end his life.&nbsp;'A relief from my own existence is gonna&nbsp;serve as a punishment', wrote&nbsp;Tiwari&nbsp;in his alleged last social post.
The severe backlash came through his way after a&nbsp;6-year-old rap battle resurfaced on the&nbsp;internet. In the rap battle,&nbsp;MC Kode&nbsp;used foul language for the Hindu&nbsp;sacred scriptures. This obviously did not go well with the social media users, who not only abused him, spewed hatred at him, but also threatened him for his and his family's life.&nbsp;
Apparently, a troll went on to announce a reward of rs. 50,000 for anyone who would slap Kode&nbsp;20 times and also record it!
Realising his mistake, my son immediately apologised&nbsp;to the people but that was of no avail, says Tiwari's&nbsp;mother who has now lodged a kidnapping case with the Delhi Police. Forced by the harsh criticism, Tiwari&nbsp;took down all his music and rap battles from the internet and told one of his Mumbai-based&nbsp;rapper friends through Instagram, I am leaving this body, you guys continue the legacy.&nbsp;
