Suicide is among the top three causes of death among youth worldwide. According to the WHO, every year, almost one million people die from suicide and 20 times more people attempt suicide&mdash;a global mortality rate of 16 per 100,000, or one death every 40 seconds and one attempt every 3 seconds, on average.
On Tuesday, September 10, 2024, a new study published in The Lancet journal on World Suicide Prevention Day said, &ldquo;With over 170,000 lives lost annually due to suicide in India, it is imperative to focus beyond mental health to prevent suicide cases in the country.&rdquo;
Incidents of suicide in India have grown at an alarming annual rate, surpassing the population growth rate and overall suicide trends, according to a new report.
World Suicide Prevention Day is observed every year on September 10 to raise awareness about the importance of reducing stigma and encourage open conversations to prevent suicides. The theme this year is "Changing the narrative on suicide."
Suicide rates are generally higher among males compared to females in India. Males have higher suicide rates in middle and older ages.&nbsp;
According to journal articles on the epidemiology of suicide in India based on the NCRB data, it suggests that high male suicide rates among middle-age groups suggest "that because males play the traditional role of&mdash;&ldquo;breadwinners&rdquo;&mdash;in India and failure to provide for the family during the middle age, for example, due to loss of employment, might result in higher suicide rates.&rdquo;
&ldquo;There is a fairly strong association between unemployment rates and suicide, but the nature of this association is complex. Unemployment may drive up the suicide risk through factors such as poverty, social deprivation, domestic difficulties, and hopelessness,&rdquo; stated the NCBI.&nbsp;
The Lancet Series showed that in India, higher suicide rates in males are observed in states with higher levels of unemployment. Unemployment also appears to be one of the most important risk factors for suicide in Indian females.
The suicide rate among unemployed females in India was found to be 94&middot;8 per 100,000 people, compared with 12&middot;6 per 100,000 people for professional or salaried employees, 11&middot;6 per 100,000 people for those who were self-employed, and 4.3 per 100,000 for students.
The series highlights how clinical treatment services are critical for people in a suicidal crisis, but upstream measures that address social factors must also be included in national suicide prevention strategies to prevent people from reaching crisis points.
This is particularly relevant for India, which released the National Suicide Prevention Strategy in 2022, with the experts in suicide prevention highlighting the need for the country to widen the way suicide is viewed to also include social risk factors&mdash;such as poverty, debt, domestic violence, addictions, and social isolation&mdash;alongside mental health.
According to data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), 1.71 lakh people died by suicide in 2022. The suicide rate has increased to 12.4 per 1,000&mdash;the highest rate ever recorded in India.
Data from the NCRB reports based on police records that are published every year highlight the reasons why people take their lives. Dandona noted these "include poverty, debt, financial hardships, domestic issues, domestic violence, family relationship issues, bullying, and peer pressure."
In line with the theme, a new six-paper series published in The Lancet Public Health, argues that a change in the narrative is needed to move from presenting suicide as a purely mental health issue to acknowledging the impact of social risk factors.
"Suicide so far, unfortunately, has been stigmatised as a crime, but suicide is actually a complex public health issue. Focus to date has been on mental health for suicide prevention, which is important, but we have enough data now to show that we need to broaden our focus beyond mental health for suicide prevention," series author Dr. Rakhi Dandona, Professor of Public Health at the Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI), told IANS.&nbsp;

Is the higher rate of suicides in India linked to unemployment?

<a title="Canada&rsquo;s" href="https://www.truescoopnews.com/newsdetail/canada-discontinue-policy-providing-work-permit-visitor-visa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canada&rsquo;s</a> rapid population growth has led to a shortage of jobs for newcomers. Newcomers are not able to get employment because of the increasing population rate of the country. Canada&rsquo;s economy has introduced one new job for every 6 workers in the country. At the start of the year, the number of jobs was more than the number of workers in the country. But later, in August a surge in labor growth force was observed.&nbsp;
Derek Holt, an economist with the Bank of Nova Scotia has stated in a report that &ldquo;Canada overshot on immigration with too much too fast relative to the ability of the country&rsquo;s job market and infrastructure to absorb so much. Unfortunately, this risk backfiring now and making it into a political issue because of how badly Ottawa has mismanaged immigration and housing files.&rdquo;
<h2 class="MsoNormal">Why Unemployment rate has increased in Canada?</h2>
Canada&rsquo;s population has increased by 3.2% in the last year. This population included foreign students and temporary workers. This is the second year of Canada adding more than a million people in the country. This has forced <a title="Justin Trudeau&rsquo;s government" href="https://www.truescoopnews.com/newsdetail/not-fair-canadians-trudeau-cut-immigration-foreign-workers-likely-impact-indians" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Justin Trudeau&rsquo;s government</a> to take action and deport the new immigrants. 
A news outlet of Canada stated, &ldquo;Canada&rsquo;s unemployment story is less about job losses and more about population growth. Immigration is rising much faster than the country&rsquo;s economic capacity to create jobs, leading to much higher unemployment for new immigrants and young adults competing for similar roles.&rdquo; 
According to the Statistics Canada report, Canada&rsquo;s unemployment rate has risen from 0.2% to 6.6%. More than 82,000 people joined the country&rsquo;s labour force last month, but the net employment increased to just 22,100.
<h2 class="MsoNormal">Senior Economist Brendon Bernard's View:&nbsp;</h2>
A Senior Economist of Indeed, Brendon Bernard has said that Canada&rsquo;s unemployment rate has reached &ldquo;worrying levels&rdquo;. He said, &ldquo;The story really is that the job numbers aren&rsquo;t keeping up with that soaring size of the labour force and it&rsquo;s resulting in a weaker employment situation. That 6.6 percent that we&rsquo;re now at, it&rsquo;s trending in the wrong direction. We&rsquo;ve gone from low to normal and now starting to approach worrying levels.&rdquo;
&ldquo;Youth unemployment is way up more than other age groups because they&rsquo;re the group that&rsquo;s most vulnerable to the slowdown in hiring, while people in their middle ages generally have more stable employment,&rdquo; Bernard added.

Canada’s increasing population growth has become a cause of increasing unemployment rate. New comers are unable to find work as jobs are running out in the country.

In a shocking turn of events, the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), under the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO), recently suspended Mumbai-based <a title="ENTOD Pharmaceuticals Ltd" href="https://www.truescoopnews.com/newsdetail/presvu-eye-drops-remove-your-reading-glasses-just-minutes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ENTOD Pharmaceuticals Ltd</a>&rsquo;s licence to manufacture and market eyedrop PresVu. The pharmaceutical company launched PresVu with the claim that it can remove the need for reading glasses in just 15 minutes. To be precise, India's drug regulator suspended the company's licence to manufacture and market Pilocarpine Hydrochloride Ophthalmic Solution USP 1.25% w/v, branded as PresVu. Now, the question arises as to why India's drug regulator suspended PresVu's manufacturing &amp; marketing. Below is what we know so far-&nbsp;
The answer is the misleading claims made by ENTOD Pharmaceuticals Ltd over ist eyedrop PresVu. The company had claimed that PresVu can prove beneficial in the treatment of presbyopia, an age-related vision condition.ENTOD Pharmaceuticals had received approval on 20 August 2024 to produce and market the eye drops for managing presbyopia in adults. However, a notice dated 4 September 2024 highlighted several unapproved claims made by the company in media releases.
The DGHS identified three specific instances where ENTOD allegedly overstated the product's capabilities, including claims that the eye drops could reduce the need for reading glasses and provide a non-invasive option to improve near vision within 15 minutes. The regulator clarified that these claims were not authorised, potentially misleading the public.
"...considering the public interest, the permission dated 20.08.2024 issued to manufacture and market of Pilocarpine Hydrochloride Ophthalmic Solution USP 1.25% is hereby suspended till further order under the provisions of rule 84 of the New Drugs and Clinical Trials Rules, 2019, of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940,&rdquo; read DCGI, Rajeev Singh Raghuvanshi&rsquo;s letter.
<h2>What did the company say about PresVu?</h2>
CEO of Entod Pharmaceuticals, Nikhil K Masurkar had said, &ldquo;PresVu has been created through years of research and development. Its approval by DCGI has marked a significant step in our mission to transform eye care in India. PresVu is a solution that can enhance the lives of millions by providing them with greater visual independence.&rdquo;
Dr. Aditya Sethi said, &ldquo;Presbyopia has long been treated with reading glasses, contact lenses and surgical measures. With PresVu, it can be treated effectively as the eye drop improves near vision within 15 minutes.&rdquo;

Ever since Punjabi singer &amp; actor Diljit Dosanjh announced his Dil-Luminati Tour in India, fans have been eagerly waiting for it. The eagerness to attend Diljit Dosanjh Concerts in India is such that the pre-booking sales of tickets were sold out in just minutes. Not only this, many fans have started to make a reel on it sharing how difficult it is to book Diljit Dosanjh's concert tickets. In fact, an <a title="influencer" href="https://www.truescoopnews.com/newsdetail/social-media-influencer-questions-dil-luminati-concert-ticket-price-slams-diljit-charging-ticket" target="_blank" rel="noopener">influencer</a> has slammed Diljit Dosanjh for charging Rs 20 to 25K for a single ticket. In the meanwhile, a video is going viral on social media with the claims that Diljit Dosanjh has cancelled his Dil-Luminati tour in Bengaluru over the controversy on the Kannada language.&nbsp;
The video claims that since Diljit Dosanjh's songs are mostly in Punjabi, he has decided to cancel his Bengaluru concert. The video alleged that the people of Bengaluru wanted Diljit to translate his songs in Kannada and hence the Punjabi singer has decided to cancel his concert in India's IT City.&nbsp;
<img src="https://newstageapi.truescoopnews.com/newsContent/1726297705355" alt="">
However, the video which is going viral with this claim is totally false and misleading. Diljit Dosanjh Bengaluru Concert Cancelled Video was shared by The Fauxy Entertainment on X. The Fauxy Entertainment is famous for posting satirical videos. Hence Diljit Dosanjh cancelling Bengaluru concert video is nothing but a satire over the rising incidents of ruckus and arguments between Kannadas and non-Kannada speaking people.&nbsp;
Therefore, it can be said that Diljit Dosanjh's Dil-Luminati tour will go on as scheduled by the singer.&nbsp;
<h2>Diljit Dosanjh Dil-Luminati India Tour Dates</h2>
Diljit Dosanjh's Dil-Luminati India tour will start from Delhi on 26th October, Hyderabad on 15th November, Ahmedabad on 17th November, Lucknow on 22nd November, Pune on 24th November, Kolkata on 30th November, Bangalore on 6th December, Indore on 8th December, Chandigarh on 14th December, Guwahati on 29th December.&nbsp;

In most northern states of India, people converse with each other in Hindi. Today, Hindi is not only spoken in India but has also gained global recognition.
Hindi Diwas honours the language and aims to popularise it among younger generations. Awards like Rajbhasha Gaurav Puraskar and Rajbhasha Kirti Puraskar are given for contributions to promoting Hindi. Various literary and cultural events are organised in educational institutions on this day. Government departments and social organisations also hold events to celebrate the occasion.
Hindi ranks third in the list of the most spoken languages worldwide. English holds the first position, followed by Mandarin Chinese in second place.
