Launched #MANODARPAN - a platform to provide psychosocial support to students, parents & families for their mental health and emotional well-being today, in the presence of MoS for HRD Shri @SanjayDhotreMP ji.
Children and adolescents may be more vulnerable and may experience a heightened level of stress and anxiety due to #COVIDCrisis. Hence we felt that while it is important to focus on #online education, the mental well-being of students also needs to be given equal importance.
#Manodarpan has been included in the #AatmaNirbharBharat Abhiyan, as a part of strengthening human capital and increasing productivity and efficient reform and initiatives for the #Education sector.

It has enabled states to upload plans and everyone to view and appraise it from remote/own locations with automatic compilation by the system, resulting in consolidated recommendations and cost sheets.
This was unimaginable in physical mode. (2/5)
