Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said he holds himself accountable for student suicides and urged collective responsibility from society, teachers and families. He also condemned politicisation of such incidents during exam periods.
New Delhi: Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan expressed deep concern over incidents of student suicides and said that everyone, including the education system, society, teachers, and families, must take responsibility to prevent such tragedies.
Responding to a question about emotional pressure faced by students and allegations that the Congress party used photographs of deceased students to create pressure ahead of examinations, Pradhan called the move "highly condemnable".
"This is highly condemnable. Look, we are also responsible for the loss of children's lives. I have been in charge of campuses before."

Reflecting on his tenure as Education Minister, Pradhan said he feels personally accountable whenever a student dies by suicide.
