Itanagar, Jun 27: The Arunachal Pradesh Women’s Welfare Society (APWWS) has urged school managements to practise tactful ways of handling disciplinary issues in the wake of the suicide of a 15-year-old school student at VKV, Amliang in Anjaw district. 
Terming it tragic, the APWWS has called for a proper investigation into the case. “This tragic incident underscores the importance of training teachers to handle disciplinary issues and recognise signs of distress in students. 
Schools must adopt a supportive approach to discipline instead of rushing to humiliate students,” said President Kani Nada Maling.
She further said that every school should have adequate counselling services and counsellors to provide necessary support to students.
The APWWS also expressed concern at the reports of bullying of junior students by their seniors at the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) in Bordumsa. 
This latest case highlights issues of student safety and discipline in educational institutions across the state, where incidents of bullying have been reported too frequently. The Education Department needs to reflect on why instances of bullying and deaths are so rampant in schools and colleges across the state. There must be clear anti-bullying policies, the APWWS said in a statement.
