Banaras Hindu University Launches Student Well-Being Initiative
To improve the overall well-being of its students, Banaras Hindu University (BHU) has launched a new initiative called the “Student Well-Being Initiative.” The initiative will provide students with support for their academic, psychological, emotional, physical, and mental well-being.
The initiative is being led by a ten-member committee chaired by Professor Satyen Saha, from the Department of Chemistry. The committee will develop strategies and implement activities to enhance the well-being of students. This includes providing counseling, workshops, and other resources to help students cope with stress, anxiety, and other challenges.
The initiative has been launched for a period of one year initially, and will be evaluated at the end of that time to determine if it should be continued.
Advisory Council Appointed
The Vice-Chancellor of BHU, Professor Sudhir Kumar Jain, has also appointed an Advisory Council to monitor and track the activities of the Student Well-Being Initiative. The Advisory Council is chaired by Professor Madoolika Agrawal, from the Department of Botany. The other members of the Advisory Council are Professor S M Singh, from the School of Biotechnology; Professor Abhay Kr Singh, from the Department of Physics; Professor Rajeev Bhatla, from the Department of Geophysics; and Professor Madhu Gwaldas Tapadia, from the Department of Zoology.
The Advisory Council will meet regularly to review the progress of the Student Well-Being Initiative and make recommendations for its improvement.
The launch of the Student Well-Being Initiative is a positive step by BHU to improve the well-being of its students. The initiative has the potential to make a significant difference in the lives of many students, and it is worth monitoring to see how it is implemented and how effective it is.
