On October 10, 2023, students of Class XII celebrated World Mental Health Day at Amrita Vidyalayam Kuthuparamba. As part of the day, students prepared posters and posted them on the school notice board. They commemorated the World Mental Health Day theme, ‘Mental health is a universal human right’.
The national education Policy 2020 recognizes that mental health is integral to the broader vision of education which is reflected in the focus on socio-emotional aspects of development as an important prerequisite for optimal learning across stages of education. ‘Manodarpan’, an initiative of the Ministry of Education, Government of India, gave a wonderful opportunity for the students to come up with their creative ideas on mental health.
