The transition from the early system at the school level to the semester system at higher education has contributed more stress to the student’s mindset. They lack a sense of direction and they are being distracted from their primary goal of achieving excellence and acquiring life skills to lead a life as a responsible citizen. The college education department had made the right move in addressing this situation by setting up Jeevani- Centre of student well-being across all government colleges in the state to help the students transform life challenges into opportunities and optimize personal growth so that in due course of time our generation-next will become equipped to live an effective life themselves and contribute their best for the progress of the society.
