Dipke seeks ‘complete overhaul’ of education system after IIT student's suicide: ‘If this is the situation…'
Taking to the social media platform X, Abhijeet Dipke said that the IITs have witnessed 65 student suicides in the last 5 years.
Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, has called for a comprehensive overhaul of India's education system following repeated student suicides at prestigious institutions like IITs. According to Dipke, IITs have witnessed 65 student suicides in the past five years, indicating a dire need for change. This comes after the tragic suicide of a 31-year-old IIT Delhi student who jumped from the sixth floor of the Lecture Hall Complex on Saturday.
Despite no suicide note being found, police suspect a motive and have registered a case of abetment to suicide. The IIT Delhi administration has suspended classes and established a five-member probe panel to investigate the incident, with retired Delhi High Court judge Mukta Gupta leading the team.
