The recent tragic incidents of suicide and self-harm at IIT Kharagpur have deeply concerned and distressed the alumni community. As proud alums, we felt it was crucial to address this sensitive topic not to tarnish the institution's image, but to shed light on the pervasive mental health struggles faced by students and to guide those in need towards vital support systems.

In this powerful video, we share raw and personal accounts from our past podcast episodes. Hear from fellow alums who bravely recount incidents of suicide during their time at IIT Kgp, delving into the complex reasons behind these heartbreaking events. Their stories underscore the immense pressure, isolation, and silent battles many students face.

We also feature the inspiring journey of Soumi, an IIT Kgp PhD alumna, who openly discusses her own struggle with depression during her studies. Soumi's story is a testament to the effectiveness of seeking professional help, as she shares her positive experience with the IIT Kgp Counselling Centre (SARTH), highlighting the profound impact it had on her recovery.

This video is a beacon of hope and a call to action. If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, please know you are not alone, and help is available. Reaching out is a sign of strength.
