Material and Methods: This study employed pre-test post-test control group research design. Students having suicidal ideation were identified by administering Suicidal Ideation Scale and were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups of 40 students each. Linehan Reasons for living Inventory (LRFLI) was administered both in the experimental group and control group as pre-test. After the pre-test the experimental group was given mindfulness based intervention programme of 1 hour, thrice a week lasting for eight weeks. Data obtained from the respondents in the post-test and follow up phases - after 1st, 3rd and 6th months of the completion of the intervention programme by administering LRFLI were analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA. Result: Results revealed that 8-week intervention programme of mindful-based practices elicited an increase in mean score of RFL in the experimental group from base line to post-test and the increase in mean scores were retained over a follow-up period of six months.
