New Delhi: Delhi govt will launch its mental well-being policy on Nov 19, extending its outreach to people up to the age of 25 years.
The policy will be launched in the presence of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar . Education minister Ashish Sood Wednesday reviewed the proposed policy, which envisions an inclusive framework covering CM SHRI schools, govt and govt-aided schools, higher education institutions, private education institutions and children with special needs. The policy will include those outside the formal education system. An important aspect of the proposed framework is ensuring that the responsibility for a child’s well-being extends to the entire school environment. The minister reviewed provisions relating to psychometric assessments for personnel working closely with children, including teaching, non-teaching and transport staff. Dedicated handbooks containing structured questions, practical exercises and activities have also been developed to strengthen emotional awareness and encourage responsible engagement with children.
