In an effort to prevent student suicides, the coaching hub of Kota in India is involving wardens, mess workers, and tiffin service providers to detect signs of depression or stress among students staying in hostels and PG accommodations. Wardens are encouraged to participate actively in the Darwaze pe dastak campaign, while mess workers and tiffin providers are urged to report if a student is absent from the mess or not consuming meals. Kota, which annually sees over 2.5 lakh students preparing for competitive exams, has witnessed a high number of student suicides in recent years.
