Prioritize Mental Health And Sign Up The Petition

PIL website Blog India is facing a silent crisis—over 1.7 lakh lives are lost to suicide each year, with one happening every three minutes. A new petition on Change.org, launched by Sree Krishna Seelam, is pushing for a powerful solution: starting mental health education from class 1. The idea is simple but impactful—teach kids how to understand their emotions, build resilience, and seek help when needed. Currently, 150 million Indians need mental health care, but only a small fraction actually get it. The emotional and economic cost is massive, with mental health issues expected to cost India over a trillion dollars by 2030. Introducing mental health education early can change this. It can reduce stigma, improve emotional well-being, and even help lower crime rates linked to untreated mental illness. The petition aims to gather one million signatures in 100 days to support a PIL in the Supreme Court. Organizations like Middlemen.asia and the Wedidit Foundation are backing the effort. Signing the petition means joining a movement to make India more understanding, compassionate, and mentally strong—starting with our youngest citizens.
