What if we reimagined our classrooms, schools, policies and practices so that all people could belong?

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.

क्या हो अगर भाषा की कक्षा व्याकरण और बोलियाँ सीखने के साथ-साथ, सोचने और महसूस करने की जगह बन जाए?
कक्षा की हर बातचीत, हर गतिविधि में भाषा और SEL एक-दूसरे का हाथ थामे चलते हैं — जहाँ कोई डर नहीं, कोई शर्म नहीं, सिर्फ सीखने का विश्वास है।
