    A student of IIT-Mumbai allegedly shot himself dead at his home here and police said a suicide note reflected his "disenchantment" with life.

    Siddharth Singh Charan (18), a resident of Jhalra Bera area of Mahamandir, was a second year B Tech student at IIT-M.

    Police said his family heard a loud sound from his room in the morning. They broke open the door only to find him in a pool of blood and their licensed 12 bore rifle near him.

    Police later recovered a suicide note, in which he wrote about the "meaninglessness" of life.

    His father Gajendra Singh Charan is the Sub Divisional Magistrate at Chipa Barod in Baran district.

    Positive attitude to lifeBy: Dr B Sundara | 07-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward At 18 the student finds life is meaningless.What a tragedy. Who made his life meaningless? His parents or the his environment? There is a need in the society to counsel youngsters. This must be attended to in the metriculation level or a bit earlier in the schools. There is increasing suicides by the students due to extreme presuure to perform. The pressure comes from the parents, teachers, other students and the coaching centres as has been reported.The youngsters must be councelled to view life with positive attitude.The responsibility lies with the parents and the teachers.Emphasis on mental progress has to be given. Besides education in the schools and colleges, exposure to meditation, yoga, attitude to life etc need to be taught may by social/religious institutions and organizations. Inculcating positive attitude towards life is important.
