Derived views — year-on-year, indexed, growth rates — are labelled as derived and are only generated where the underlying series has enough points to make them meaningful. Charts awaiting the ETL backfill are shown explicitly rather than hidden.

Suicide rate
lowCompound annual growth since first year — derived from "Suicide rate".
A modelled estimate, not a count. WHO models country rates where civil registration is incomplete, and India's is; NCRB publishes India's own recorded suicide figures and they differ substantially from these. This site carries the WHO series because it is comparable across countries and across years, and grades it low confidence because the two sources disagree and neither can settle the other. It is a measure of deaths, not of how common mental illness is — a different question, declared separately and still unfilled.
Suicide rate — men
lowCompound annual growth since first year — derived from "Suicide rate — men".
A modelled estimate, not a count. WHO models country rates where civil registration is incomplete, and India's is; NCRB publishes India's own recorded suicide figures and they differ substantially from these. This site carries the WHO series because it is comparable across countries and across years, and grades it low confidence because the two sources disagree and neither can settle the other. It is a measure of deaths, not of how common mental illness is — a different question, declared separately and still unfilled. The gap between men and women is far narrower in India than in most countries, where male rates typically run at two to three times female rates. That narrowness is one of the more consistent findings about Indian suicide and is worth reading the two series against each other for.
Suicide rate — women

WHO models country rates where civil registration is incomplete, and India's is; NCRB publishes India's own recorded suicide figures and they differ substantially from these.

Suicide rate, age-standardised
lowCompound annual growth since first year — derived from "Suicide rate, age-standardised".
A modelled estimate, not a count. WHO models country rates where civil registration is incomplete, and India's is; NCRB publishes India's own recorded suicide figures and they differ substantially from these. This site carries the WHO series because it is comparable across countries and across years, and grades it low confidence because the two sources disagree and neither can settle the other. It is a measure of deaths, not of how common mental illness is — a different question, declared separately and still unfilled. Compare it against the crude rate: where they diverge, the gap is India's changing age structure rather than a change in risk.
