Abstract: The entire globalized world became victims of the covid 19 pandemic, however, a number of other significant social problems like suicides got impacted by it and the lockdown. The suicide rate and annual number of suicides were already at a rising trend prior to the pandemic and reached an all-time high during the covid 19 pandemic in 2020. Emile Durkheim in his book on suicide called Le suicide identifies 4 types of suicides, they were also occurring in India mainly due to the covid 19 lockdown and its impacts and caused a significant damage along with mismanagement of the pandemic and bad government policies. The large-scale internal migration of helpless migrant workers due to the lockdown and the government's failure in arranging a solution for them to travel back to home is evident to the bad government planning and the mismanagement of the covid 19 pandemic, resulting in a number of suicides by migrant workers, daily wage earners, alcoholics suffering from withdrawals. While many Indians stepped up to volunteer and help the people affected by lockdown and suicidal tendencies, the major donations went to the government which failed to reach the ones that needed it.
