Hon'ble Union Minister of Education, Shri
@dpradhanbjp, chaired a detailed discussion during a review meeting with officials, committee members and domain experts on the proposed draft National Mental Health & Well-Being Policy for Schools.
The deliberations focused on strengthening mental well-being among students, teachers and the wider school community. Emphasising the importance of a holistic and preventive approach, the Hon'ble Minister underscored the need to foster safe, inclusive and supportive learning environments, build a positive school culture that promotes mental well-being, empathy, care, trust, and emotional resilience, and integrate mental health and well-being into school system, practices and implementation as an integral part of quality education. The policy must leverage on Indian Knowledge Systems, culture and must be practically implementable while having the teachers as the first level of mentors.
