TELE-MANAS HELPLINE- NATIONAL TELE HEALTH PROGRAMME OF INDIA

Additionally, we have a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with IBHAS that helps us in organizing workshops, lectures etc., on mental health issues. The trained members of the Department of Psychology also extend support by providing pro-bono counselling to its students as and when required.

Mentorship Program

Apart from this, at the start of the academic year, in every department, every student is assigned to a teacher mentor to discuss day-to-day issues and challenges faced by them as students. Since our student base is so huge and diverse, having a mentor to discuss these challenges have proven to be helpful as shared by our students. Our students have given very encouraging feedback for this program and it helps the student to feel at home and to belonged in a new community!

Peer Support Initiatives

We also have peer support available to our students in the form of Izhaar (Initiative of the Psychology Department ) and Saarthi (Initiative of the Department of Physical Education and Sports).
