| About the Conference | Mental health and well-being are central to the holistic development of learners. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), mentally healthy individuals cope with life’s stresses, realize their abilities, work productively and contribute to society. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 further reinforces the need for nurturing emotional, social and psychological well-being alongside academic excellence. In recent years, college students have experienced increasing levels of stress due to academic pressure, social expectations, digital exposure, career uncertainty and personal challenges. These stressors often manifest as anxiety, depression, emotional instability, loneliness and in severe cases self-harm or suicidal ideation. Addressing these concerns requires open dialogue, peer engagement and preventive strategies. In this context, the College Wellness Committee (CWC) of the MANUU Campus, Bhopal proposes a Virtual Student Conference aimed at encouraging students to actively participate in discussions on mental health. The conference seeks to provide a safe and inclusive platform where students from different institutions can share their experiences, present research work, discuss case studies and suggest practical strategies for promoting mental well-being. The conference will contribute to awareness creation, stigma reduction and the development of student-centric mental health practices within higher education institutions. |
