Jaipur School Suicide: CBSE Probe Finds 18 Months Of Ignored Bullying, School Issued Notice

A Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) probe into the death of a Class 4 student at Jaipur's Neerja Modi School found the school ignored 18 months of bullying complaints. According to the latest National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) report, student suicides account for 8.1% of the country's total suicide deaths. The girl's family member stated, 'I request them to de-affiliate the school as 5000+ students are there already. The life is at risk.' Following the incident, India Today conducted a reality check on safety measures at other Jaipur schools, including Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan Vidyashram, Oxford International Public School, and Ryan International School, revealing varying levels of preparedness. The CBSE has issued a notice to the Neerja Modi school for gross violations.
