Data insights	The Mass/Family Suicides dataset offers a rare and deeply significant window into the social and emotional crises that lead to collective acts of suicide within families or close groups in India. By examining the number of such cases disaggregated by marital status (Married and Unmarried), the dataset allows researchers to explore how family structure, relationship dynamics, and social pressures contribute to extreme distress culminating in shared suicide events.Analysis of this data can reveal whether married individuals are more frequently involved in mass suicides, potentially reflecting family or financial stress or whether unmarried individuals face distinct psychological or social triggers. Temporal and regional patterns may highlight states or periods where collective suicides increase, possibly in connection with economic hardship, social isolation, or cultural pressures.

Methodology	The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) compiles profession-wise suicide statistics annually based on information gathered during police investigations, autopsy reports, and inputs recorded by state crime records bureaus. When a suicide case is registered, investigating officers classify the deceased’s occupation or livelihood at the time of death into predefined categories such as farmers, daily wage earners, students, professionals, or unemployed individuals. These occupational details are typically reported by family members, witnesses, or through available identification records. State-level data are consolidated and published in the Accidental Deaths and Suicides in India (ADSI) report, with suicide rates calculated using relevant occupational population estimates where available.
