Responding to this growing need, Akal Academy Kauriwara recently hosted a CBSE Capacity Building Program on Mental Health and Wellness, bringing together 60 educators from multiple institutions for a day dedicated to learning, reflection, and constructive dialogue
Strengthening Teachers for Evolving Student Needs
The program focused on enhancing teachers’ understanding of student mental health through practical and relatable frameworks. Key areas included
- Emotional and psychological needs of students
- Classroom strategies to promote mental well-being
- Building empathetic, safe, and supportive learning environments
Educators explored how a mindful approach can transform classrooms into spaces where children feel valued, heard, and emotionally secure
Insights From Experienced Resource Persons
The training was enriched by expert resource persons
- Mr Sant Kumar Sharma, Principal, NRMHH Convent School, Budhlada
- Mr Gagandeep Parashar, Principal, Sarvhitkari Vidya Mandir, Mansa
Their real-world experiences offered practical tools for addressing stress, behavioural concerns, and communication gaps among students
Leadership Perspective on Whole-Child Development
Madam Baljeet Kaur Bhullar, Principal, Akal Academy Kauriwara, addressed participants and highlighted the increasing relevance of mental wellness in modern education. She emphasized that teachers play a powerful role in shaping emotionally strong, balanced, and confident learners
Honouring Collaboration and Continuous Learning
