NIMHANS’ Suicide Prevention Programme to be Expanded Across Bengaluru South

Why in News?
A community-based suicide prevention initiative led by NIMHANS is set to be expanded across the entire Bengaluru South district after encouraging results from a three-year pilot programme in Channapatna taluk.
The programme, called Project SURAKSHA, was launched in 2023 in Channapatna and is described by NIMHANS as India’s first sustained community-based suicide prevention initiative.
It is being implemented by the NIMHANS Suicide Prevention, Research, Implementation Training and Engagement Centre — N-SPRITE, in collaboration with the Karnataka government and Himalaya Wellness Company.

What is Project SURAKSHA?
Project SURAKSHA is a community-based suicide prevention programme designed to identify vulnerable individuals early, provide crisis support, create awareness and prevent repeat suicide attempts.
The word SURAKSHA itself indicates protection and safety. The project aims to build a local support ecosystem involving community members, health workers, teachers, panchayat representatives and frontline staff.
It shifts suicide prevention from a purely hospital-based approach to a community-based public health model.

Objectives of Project SURAKSHA

1. Early Identification of Vulnerable Individuals
   The project trains community members to identify people facing emotional distress, self-harm risk, family crisis, substance abuse, financial stress or social isolation.
2. Crisis Intervention
   The programme provides immediate support through trained personnel and helpline-based intervention.
3. Awareness Generation
   Awareness sessions are conducted in villages, schools, colleges and local communities to reduce stigma around mental health and help-seeking.
4. Referral and Follow-up Care
   Individuals at risk are referred to appropriate mental health professionals, hospitals or support services. Follow-up care is a major component.
5. Prevention of Repeat Attempts
   The project focuses on supporting individuals who have previously attempted self-harm so that repeat attempts can be prevented.

Major Components of the Programme

1. Community-Based Surveillance Teams
   The project created local surveillance teams consisting of:
   Panchayat representatives
   Teachers
   Healthcare workers
   Self-help group members
   Anganwadi workers
   Police personnel
   Frontline staff
   These teams were trained to identify vulnerable persons and refer them for care.
2. Gatekeeper Training
   A major part of Project SURAKSHA was suicide gatekeeper training.
   A gatekeeper is a person who is likely to come in contact with vulnerable individuals and can identify warning signs, provide basic support and refer the person to professional help.
   The programme trained 4,185 frontline workers, including:
   Police personnel
   Anganwadi workers
   PHC staff
   Fire and safety officers
   Educators
   Students
3. Awareness in Schools and Colleges
   The project reached more than 14,000 students through awareness sessions in schools and colleges.
   This is important because adolescents and young adults are vulnerable to emotional stress, academic pressure, family expectations, social media pressure and mental health issues.
4. IEC Material Dissemination
   IEC stands for Information, Education and Communication.
   As of February 2026, more than 1.7 lakh individuals in Channapatna taluk were reached through IEC materials. These materials helped spread awareness on mental health, emotional support and help-seeking behaviour.
5. Self-Harm Registries
   The initiative established self-harm registries across 69 hospitals and health centres.
   These registries help systematically record suicide attempts and ensure follow-up care. This is important because many individuals who attempt self-harm are at risk of repeat attempts if they do not receive continued psychological and social support.
   A total of 1,261 cases were recorded under this system.
6. Helpline Support
   As of February 2026, the project helpline received more than 193 calls, including 33 crisis calls requiring immediate intervention.
   Helplines are important because they provide quick emotional support and can connect people to professional care during moments of acute distress.

Encouraging Results
One of the most important outcomes of the pilot programme is that no repeat suicide attempts were reported among individuals who received intervention and follow-up support under the programme.
This shows the importance of continuous care, community support and timely intervention.

Expansion Plan
Bengaluru South District
Project SURAKSHA will now be expanded to all five taluks of Bengaluru South district.
This is significant because urbanising districts face unique mental health challenges such as:
Migration stress
Job insecurity
Family breakdown
Substance abuse
Academic pressure
Financial stress
Social isolation
Digital stress
Ballari District
The Karnataka government has also approved the first phase of implementation in Ballari district, which is among the districts reporting high numbers of suicides.
This indicates that the State is trying to use a district-specific mental health intervention model.

Link with National Suicide Prevention Strategy, 2022
Project SURAKSHA has been developed in line with India’s National Suicide Prevention Strategy, 2022.
The national strategy focuses on:
Reducing suicide mortality
Improving mental health services
Responsible media reporting
Limiting access to means of self-harm
Community-based intervention
Crisis helplines
Training gatekeepers
Creating awareness and reducing stigma
Project SURAKSHA is an example of translating national policy into local action.

Link with WHO LIVE LIFE Framework
The programme is also aligned with the World Health Organisation’s LIVE LIFE framework.
The LIVE LIFE framework focuses on four key interventions:
Limit access to means of suicide
Interact with media for responsible reporting
Foster socio-emotional life skills in adolescents
Early identify, assess, manage and follow up persons affected by suicidal behaviour
Project SURAKSHA reflects these principles through community surveillance, student awareness, follow-up care and crisis intervention.

Why is This Important?

1. Suicide as a Public Health Issue
   Suicide is not only an individual issue; it is a public health, social and governance challenge. It requires coordinated action by families, communities, schools, health systems, police, local governments and civil society.
2. Community-Based Model
   Mental health services are often concentrated in hospitals and cities. Project SURAKSHA takes prevention to the community level, especially through gram panchayats and frontline workers.
3. Early Intervention
   Many people in distress do not directly approach psychiatrists or hospitals. Community-based gatekeepers can identify early signs and connect them to support.
4. Reducing Stigma
   Mental health problems are often hidden due to social stigma. Awareness campaigns help normalize help-seeking behaviour.
5. Preventing Repeat Attempts
   People who have attempted self-harm need follow-up care. The project’s focus on follow-up support is a major strength.

Governance Dimensions

1. Decentralised Public Health Model
   The project uses gram panchayats and community institutions, making suicide prevention a decentralised public health intervention.
2. Convergence Approach
   It brings together:
   Health department
   Panchayat institutions
   Police
   Schools and colleges
   Hospitals
   Anganwadi workers
   Self-help groups
   Mental health professionals
   This is an example of inter-sectoral governance.
3. Data-Based Intervention
   Self-harm registries help create evidence for policy-making and targeted intervention.
4. Public-Private Partnership
   The programme involves NIMHANS, Karnataka government and Himalaya Wellness Company. This shows the role of public-private collaboration in health initiatives.

Social Dimensions

1. Youth Mental Health
   The outreach to students is significant because young people face stress related to exams, employment, relationships, social comparison and digital exposure.
2. Rural Mental Health
   The pilot in Channapatna shows that mental health services can be taken beyond urban hospitals into rural and semi-urban communities.
3. Family and Community Support
   The next phase includes home visits, psychological first aid and grief counselling. This recognises the role of family and community in healing.
4. Stigma Reduction
   Community awareness reduces the shame associated with mental illness and encourages people to seek help.

Kuki-Zo groups agree to join Manipur govt. with conditions

Context: Kuki-Zo tribal groups said that they had resolved to join the popular government in Manipur, provided the Union and the State governments give a written commitment to support the negotiated political settlement for a Union Territory with legislature under the Constitution.

• At a meeting attended by the United People’s Front and Kuki National Organisation (KNO), the Kuki-Zo insurgent groups in Suspension of Operations (SoO) pact with the government, five MLAs and two representatives of the Kuki-Zo Council, a civil society group, in Guwahati on Tuesday, it was resolved that the “commitment must be executed in a time-bound manner, specifically within the current Assembly tenure”, which ends in February 2027.
• The resolution passed by the tribal bodies on Tuesday assumes significance as this is the first time the tribal bodies have agreed to join the State government since ethnic violence between the Kuki-Zo and the Meitei people erupted on May 3, 2023. Post-violence, the SoO groups and the MLAs demanded a separate administration for the Kuki-Zo people.
• Manipur was placed under President’s Rule on February 13, 2025 and the 60-member Assembly which has 37 MLAs from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is under suspended animation.
• The Hindu reported on January 7 that as the President’s Rule in Manipur completes a year on February 13, hectic parleys are on by the Union government to restore the popular government in Manipur. In all, there are 10 Kuki-Zo MLAs in the Assembly, including seven from the BJP, and their participation is key if elected government is restored.

PSLV-C62 missions EOS-N1 earth observation satellite

Context: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)’s PSLV-C62 mission carrying the EOS-N1 earth observation satellite and 15 co-passenger satellites failed to finish its intended trajectory after an anomaly was detected during the end of the third stage of the launch vehicle, resulting in the loss of the satellites and prompting a detailed analysis.

The PSLV-C62 lifted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. The launch of the vehicle, which has four stages, went as expected till the third stage, but showed “disturbance in the vehicle roll rates” close to the end of the third stage, ISRO chairman.

“The performance of the vehicle up to the end of the third stage was as expected. Close to the end of the third stage, we saw some disturbance in the vehicle roll rates, and subsequently, there is a deviation observed in the flight path. We are analysing the data, and we shall come back at the earliest,” Mr. Narayanan said.

Recent outcome is seen as a big setback for the space agency as the PSLV, its workhorse rocket, has suffered back-to-back failures now.
On May 18, 2025, ISRO’s attempted launch of the EOS-09 satellite aboard the PSLV-C61 mission could not be completed, also due to an anomaly in the third stage of the rocket. The EOS-N1 earth observation satellite is said to be built for strategic purposes.

The financial burden for the satellites lost in the failed PSLV-C62 mission falls on different parties, depending on the nature of the satellite. In the space industry, there is no single payer for a failed mission; instead, the loss is absorbed by a mix of state funding and insurance claims. Governments typically do not purchase commercial insurance for their own strategic or military satellites because the premiums are very high. In the present instance, the direct financial loss of the EOS-N1 satellite, developed by DRDO, will be borne by the State, and DRDO may have to seek fresh budgetary approval to build a replacement.

The co-passenger satellites from private enterprises, including Indian startups and international entities, would have purchased policies that pay out a lump sum in the event of a ‘total loss’ during the launch phase. If a specific entity didn’t purchase insurance, that company must absorb the total loss itself.

NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), ISRO’s commercial arm, is likely to have had contracts with the private customers. While NSIL generally doesn’t pay for the satellite itself, the contract might include a re-flight guarantee or a refund of the launch fee if the mission fails.

What do two PSLV mission failures in a row mean for ISRO?
On May 18, 2025, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) suffered a rare failure with its PSLV-C61 mission. The PSLV rocket has long been considered the agency’s “workhorse” due to its history of reliable launches. However, on January 12, the PSLV-C62 mission also failed. Indian Space Research Organisation Chairman V. Narayanan confirmed that the rocket’s third stage (PS3) experienced an anomaly, marking two consecutive failures for the vehicle.

To understand the recent failure, it’s necessary to examine the C61 mission, whose primary payload was the EOS-09 satellite.

While the first two stages performed correctly, telemetry data showed a sudden, unexpected drop in chamber pressure within the third stage motor around 203 seconds into the flight. Because the PS3 is a solid-fuel motor, a pressure drop of this nature may indicate a serious structural failure, such as a casing breach or a nozzle blowout. Without the necessary pressure, the engine would not have been able to generate enough thrust.

Data withheld

Following the C61 incident, a Failure Analysis Committee (FAC) investigated the root cause. However, the FAC’s report submitted to the Prime Minister’s Office has not been released to the public.

The reasons are not clear. One possibility is to protect sensitive information about the payload; this said, it is also possible to release a technical failure report regarding the rocket while redacting sensitive information about any satellites.

Commercial protection is another possibility: ISRO is aggressively pushing the PSLV as a commercial product through NewSpace India, Ltd (NSIL). The PS3 motor is a technologically mature component that should not fail. If the failure was caused by simple negligence or a manufacturing defect, admitting this publicly could damage the rocket’s reputation and increase the cost of insuring its launches. Keeping the report classified may be a way to avoid admitting whether the issue was one bad batch of materials or a deeper lapse in quality assurance.

Reason for failure

Either way, the overall lack of transparency sets the context for the outcome of the PSLV-C62 mission. Once the third stage anomaly became clear, Mr. Narayanan stated that the mission failed due to a “roll rate disturbance”, meaning the rocket began spinning uncontrollably. The PS3 stage lacks its own roll control thrusters and instead banks on the stage above it, the fourth stage, to remain stable.

If the PS3 motor suffered a leak and vented gas from the side of the nozzle, it could create a twisting force strong enough to overpower the fourth stage stabilisers.

That the third stage motor was affected in both missions suggests the two modes of failure could be related. By keeping the PSLV-C61 investigation internal, the ISRO and the Department of Space avoided external scrutiny of the organisation’s “return to flight” criterion.

If independent experts had been able to review the initial findings, they may have been able to verify the quality of the fixes ISRO implemented before the second launch.

But the agency launched again eight months later and faced the same result.

Troubling repeat
ISRO must begin rebuilding quality assurance protocols
On January 12, as the PSLV-C62 mission rose from Sriharikota into the morning sky and its third stage kicked on, the live telecast abruptly stopped showing the rocket’s performance and trajectory. As it became evident that its third stage had suffered an anomaly, putting paid to the C62 mission in a manner similar to the PSLV-C61 mission in May 2025, the change in the telecast became more familiar. For decades, the PSLV has been the ‘workhorse’ of India’s space ambitions. Together with the rocket’s technology being mature, the implication is that the mistakes that sank two PSLV launches could be on the quality assurance side. At least, these are not likely to be isolated anomalies. The C61 mission failed after its third stage lost chamber pressure, but rather than publicly reveal the diagnosed root cause, the decision was to leave the Failure Analysis Committee (FAC) report with the Prime Minister’s Office. ISRO provided assurances of “structural reinforcements” and cleared the PSLV for its next flight. The symptom of the C62 failure, a “roll rate disturbance”, parallels the events preceding the C61 failure. The financial consequences are poor: under the aegis of NewSpace India Limited, ISRO has been positioning the PSLV as a commercial product in a competitive global launch market. Now, international insurers operating in this market will reassess the PSLV’s risk profile and the insurance premiums could skyrocket, rendering the vehicle less affordable — a strategic embarrassment for a country aspiring to be a net provider in space.

The tenure of ISRO Chairman V. Narayanan has been characterised by a continued shift away from ISRO’s traditional culture of scientific openness toward a more guarded, bureaucratic posture. While the pressure to maintain a high launch cadence is understandable, his decision to move the C62 mission to the pad while the autopsy of its predecessor remains classified should raise tough questions about the organisation’s priorities. That the C62 mission also carried the EOS-N1 satellite, built by the DRDO and with unspecified strategic applications, could help explain a ‘rush’ if there was one. Fortunately for Mr. Narayanan, ISRO has also demonstrated the increasing reliability of its LVM-3 rocket in his time, most recently with the M6 mission in December 2025. But right now, ISRO’s and his best path to restoring confidence, and begin the painful work of rebuilding quality assurance protocols, is for the Department of Space to release the FAC report for the C61 mission. The tax-paying public and commercial stakeholders deserve to know what went wrong in 2025, whether it recurred in 2026, and why the third stage was affected again.
