Paper long abstract:

Now-a-days suicide is a serious issue of public health. It is increasing rapidly. Most of the countries of the world face this problem. As a recent estimates around one million people worldwide commit suicide each year, with anywhere from 10 million to 20 million suicide attempts annually. In this regard very high rate of suicide has been reported from coastal Sagar block of Sundarban areas in West Bengal, India.

People want to live even for ever but why the people commit suicide from this nice world? There may be so many reasons behind it. The situation, time, place, tension, distress, age, sex, etc. may be varied. But it is true that sometimes the situation may reach to that level that the concerned people can not bear the tension rather face mental agony and to get relief sometime commit suicide. In this concern the questions are- why the high rate of suicide is observed at Sagar block? Is it due to environmental fluctuation or natural calamities which may destroy the life and economy as it is situated at coastal areas? Does it affect the family peace and happiness? Does it create tension, distress and mental agony repeatedly which may cause of suicide to get relief from all the agony? These issues will be examined in this paper.
