In a worldwide survey (2023) conducted by WHO across 71 countries, 27.1% of respondents were reported to have issues with their mental mental health, while corresponding figure for Indians was 30.4%. The toll it takes on the young people is much alarming. More than 50%, ie., one in two young Indians between the age group of 18-24 are distressed as per the same report. These shocking figures warrants urgent attention of policy makers, educationists and administrators to provide accessible mental health support systems across the country, especially in educational institutions.
