  • 1. Vardhman Mahaveer Open University, Kota

Description

The news of suicide by coaching student has become a common phenomenon in these days. Sometimes over ambitions on the part of parents, circumstances, in ability on the part of students, conflict between dream of students and parents expectation produces conflict. The American newspaper, The Washington Post published that more than 70 students have committed suicide in the last five years in Kota city of Rajasthan, India. It is quite evident in the report of the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) that the rate of these suicides is much higher than the national average of 10.6 suicides per one hundred thousand (100,000) people in 2014. According to this report the suicides are committed by hanging self, ablaze self and by jumping from the heights. (Bray and Lykins, 2012) found also that the private supplementary tutoring is widely known as shadow education, since it mimics the mainstream. This research paper is not committed to resolve the suicidal tendency but only focusing on the clash of competitions where conflict arouses to tendencies for suicidal commitment among students.
