Overall, India saw approximately 1.7 lakh suicide deaths, a rise from 1.34 lakh in 2015, indicating a persistent upward trend in suicide rates over the years. Tamil Nadu emerged as the state with the highest number of suicides among daily wage workers, reporting 10,556 cases, followed by Maharashtra with 6,811 and Telangana with 5,745. Notably, 62.9% of the victims came from families earning less than ₹1 lakh (approximately $1,200 USD) annually. The leading cause of these suicides was family problems, which accounted for 35% of cases, while the predominant method was hanging, used in 62.3% of instances. This data underscores the urgent need for targeted mental health interventions for vulnerable populations such as daily wage workers.
