No suicides in 3 years: How IIT-Madras put students first

IIT Madras has enhanced student psychological wellbeing through a collective responsibility approach. Faculty members now mentor small groups of students, identifying those needing support. Professional counselors are available 24/7, and stigma is reduced through diverse session locations. Academic programs offer more flexibility, including reduced classroom hours and early exit options. These changes have led to no reported suicides at the institute since April 2023.
