The Central Information Commission (CIC) directed Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) to form high-level committees to address student suicides, responding to concerns raised by alumnus Dheeraj Kumar Singh. Singh, who sought data on suicides at several IITs under the Right to Information Act, argued that understanding the demographics of these cases is crucial for preventing future incidents. The CIC's directive aims to enhance measures for mental health support and reduce the factors contributing to student suicides.
