Questions
What are the reasons behind the increasing suicide rate in India? How does the National Suicide Prevention Strategy aim to tackle this menace?
Highlight the significance of the India-Australia Free Trade Agreement.
Good attempt! You can refer to some other answers. More reasons can be mentioned e.g., financial distress including among farmers, addiction to social media/isolation, neglect of mental health and seeking care etc.
Introduction can also be made more effective e.g., some aspirants began by quoting some fact related to suicides. This is a good practice.
Reasons section seems good.
Please review
Excellent answer! In reasons do add the aspect of neglect of mental healthcare. Stigma associated with seeking psychiatric treatment prevents those under depression to seek help.
All else is nice!
Great! Only thing missing is the argument of neglect of mental health and failure to seek help due to social pressure. Can add social media/isolation under youth related issues.
Also presentation can be improved a bit, try to make every point clear and legible. It was difficult to find point related to farmer suicide which has a high share. Content is good.
ok maam/sir,
i will add this point..
Thanku..
Seems great! More reasons for suicide can be included. Rest of the content is apt. Good to include Govt. initiatives as well!
Good answer! In reasons, don’t include gaming under alcoholism/drugs, put it under media addiction in youth. Also include neglect of mental healthcare to seek help on time.
More points can be added under prevention strategy, refer other answers.
Good answer! In introduction, don’t mention 11% per 100,000. % means per hundred.
Under reasons, don’t miss neglect of mental healthcare and seeking help on time to prevent suicide.
Strategy has been covered well, You can reduce the length of sentences, it will help You save words/time.
