IIT Kharagpur distributes wellbeing cards to over 16,500 students to promote mental health

IIT Kharagpur has launched a mental health awareness initiative by distributing wellbeing cards to over 16,500 students across the institute. The cards are designed to promote psychological wellness and provide resources for students seeking mental health support.

The initiative reflects growing institutional focus on student mental health, a critical concern in high-pressure academic environments. The wellbeing cards serve as an accessible tool to encourage students to prioritize their mental and emotional wellbeing.

This move aligns with broader efforts by educational institutions to create supportive campus environments and reduce stigma around mental health discussions among young people.
