D.3. Exemplar Visit to Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Mental Health and Wellbeing

Educational institutions continuously evolve to better their systems to facilitate a smooth
learning trajectory for students which is free from obstructions or hindrances. Many institutions
have planned and implemented various initiatives to make institutional support system
available to the students in order to effectively take care of their mental health and wellbeing.

Such institutions may act as ‘Exemplar Institutions’ or ‘Model Institutions’ offering faculty
members of other educational institutions to visit them and learn from their approach.

Visit to ‘Exemplar Institutions’ will allow learning the best practices adopted by them in
addressing mental health and wellbeing of the students along with documenting those practices
for wider dissemination and replication in other educational institutions. In the exemplar visit,
the designated team will explore the initiatives undertaken, their outcome(s) and efficacy in
promoting positive mental health, resilience and wellbeing of the students.

The designated team will comprise of Resource Persons from Expressions India, officials of
MoE, faculty members of participating CFIs etc.

D.4 National Wellbeing Conclave

Under the Integrated Approach, a ‘National Wellbeing Conclave’ has been conceptualized for
the students and faculty members. The conclave will create an avenue for the Higher
Educational Institutions (HEIs) to collaboratively explore to build an ecosystem where students’
as well as faculty members’ mental health and wellbeing will be given due importance.

The conclave will allow students and faculty members to come together on a common platform
to:

(i) exchange ideas related to promotion of mental health, resilience and wellbeing on
campus,
(ii) showcase initiatives undertaken by different HEIs w.r.t mental health and wellbeing,
(iii) share best practices instituted by the HEIs,

(iv) hold an exhibition on the subject matter &
(v) engage attendees in fun-filled activities/exercises during the conclave.

The conclave will give the HEIs an opportunity to appraise the importance of cordial relation
between students and faculty. This initiative is aimed at fostering stronger ties between faculty
and students keeping in view the mental health and wellbeing needs of individuals within the
professional realm. The successful organization of the conclave will lay down a foundation for
replicating it in other regions of the country involving more HEIs.
