Bhubaneswar: Amid cases of alleged death by suicide due to exam stress in Odisha, the School and Mass Education department has urged students and parents to seek help by dialling helpline number 14416.
The helpline service ‘Tele MANAS’ has counsellors to alleviate the stress experienced by students, appearing for Class X and Plus II exams. Students can dial the number and get advice from experts on doubts pertaining to exam and stress management, SME official said.
On February 23, two students, appearing in the annual Plus-II and the matriculation (class 10) examinations, died allegedly by suicide due to examination pressure in Ganjam and Bhadrak districts.
