Data insightsAnalysis of profession-wise suicide data highlights the strong link between livelihood, economic insecurity, and mental health outcomes. Farmers and agricultural laborers often exhibit higher suicide rates, reflecting vulnerabilities tied to crop failure, debt burdens, and rural distress. Daily wage earners and self-employed individuals also show elevated risks, frequently linked to financial instability and precarious employment. Students constitute another significant group, with pressures related to academics and career prospects contributing to their vulnerability. At the other end, professionals and salaried employees may face stressors related to workplace demands, unemployment, or job loss. By mapping suicide patterns across occupational categories, the dataset allows researchers and policymakers to identify structural drivers of mental health crises, design livelihood-support programs, and tailor mental health interventions to at-risk occupational groups.

MethodologyThe 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.
