The court raised the concern while dealing with a petition concerning the alleged suicide last year by two IIT-Delhi students belonging to a Scheduled Caste (SC) community.
Discouraging the growing trend of suicides by students under pressure, the Delhi High Court has called upon the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) to put in conscious efforts to counselling students and make young minds understand that scoring good marks is not the most important thing in life and they can give their best without succumbing to the stress of performing better.
The court raised the concern while dealing with a petition concerning the alleged suicide last year by two IIT-Delhi students belonging to a Scheduled Caste (SC) community.
The parents of the students had sought the court's directions for the registration of an FIR and an impartial probe into the "caste-based atrocities" being committed in the institution.
