In a recent data published it is recorded that:

Despite tall claims by chief minister Manik Sarkar of economic development and progress in the state of Tripura for last few years has been crippling with the rise of suicidal cases. In an average two person is committing suicide every day. Tripura is one of the most politically stable and generally a peaceful state. In addition, the per capita income at current prices has risen from Rs 50,859 in 2011 ­12 to Rs 69,705 in the year 2013 ­14 as claimed by Sarkar. However, despite the peaceful environment and a good economic growth rate, the increasing suicides rate is a matter of apprehension and concern for the planner and policy makers in the state. It directly poses the vital question of why this trend of suicide is occurring. Today, the state has a large band of unhappy youth.

In the state 45 per cent of suicide cases reported between 2011 to 2014 were of people less than 30 years of age according to National Crime Record Bureau Report). Depression is also caused by unfulfilled aspirations among the young who believe their life is not changing as much as they want it to. In terms of opportunities to the youth in the state is not much favorable as compare with other parts of the country. Being one of the hilly states in India’s North East, difficult geographical landscape and unfavorable climatic conditions, the issue of connectivity (in terms of road, Rail, and Air) is always a matter of concern.
