World Mental Health Day 2023 is an opportunity for people and communities to unite behind the theme 'Mental health is a universal human right” to improve knowledge, raise awareness and drive actions that promote and protect everyone's mental health as a universal human right. The overall objective of World Mental Health Day is to raise awareness on mental health issues around the world and to mobilize efforts in support of mental health.

The Day provides an opportunity for all stakeholders working on mental health issues to talk about their work, and what more needs to be done to make mental health care a reality for people worldwide.

The Shikshiyan School celebrated World Mental Health Day for the students of classes VI to XII with the active participation of all students and numerous activities and workshops were organized. Mental health is integral to the broader vision of education, which is reflected in the focus on socio-emotional aspects of development as an important prerequisite for optimal learning across stages of education. To create awareness about mental health and well-being, the school has chalked out age-appropriate activities. The students of Class VI organised a “Happiness Zone” which delineates the thoughts and emotions of individuals. The students of Class VII conducted “Yoga” sessions; Slogan writing and poster-making competitions were organised for the students of Classes VIII and IX respectively. The students of Class XI hosted an enthralling “Group Discussion” on the topic “Taking Care of Mental Health is Everybody’s Business”. The enthusiastic and active participation of the students in various activities tremendously enhanced the awareness level of the students and stakeholders.

The concept of Kriya and Karma are two beautiful aspects of our life. If we understand them in the right way it can become a perfect and precise steering wheel for our life.

Kriya is a state of effortless action.

Karma is the perfect opposite — action that binds us. Following and integrating these two simple concepts can make a huge impact in our lives.

The Shikshiyan School always promotes innovative learning techniques and fosters excellence amongst students by adopting best practices. Students activity on the Kriya Wheel was conducted to teach the concepts in a simple manner. The students wholeheartedly participated and enjoyed the learning experience.
