High rate of suicide in Kerala is very often reported in media. Here, a doubt is there about the authenticity of the available statistics on this. In Kerala, because of high rate of literacy and education the net work of information is active. Any incident, like suicide, is not missed from reporting. In most other States, there is lack of communication, and the suicide is not reported as such. May be, reported only as death to avoid further related legal problems. Similarly, the victim being taken to hospitals when an attempt of suicide is doubted also will be more in Kerala, since the facilities are more. Hence an actual fact finding is required before coming to a conclusion.
