Mental health and well-being are emerging as critical components of institutional sustainability and academic excellence in higher education. As faculty members navigate increasing workloads, administrative pressures, and evolving pedagogical demands, their mental well-being directly influences student outcomes, research quality, and institutional success. This national conference aims to explore the multifaceted dimensions of faculty mental health and promote holistic well-being as a foundational pillar in building a resilient and empowered academic workforce aligned with the vision of Viksit Bharat @ 2047.
The conference will bring together thought leaders, educators, psychologists, researchers, and policymakers to discuss current challenges, share best practices, and propose evidence-based strategies for strengthening faculty support systems. With a focus on lived experiences, institutional interventions, and policy frameworks, the conference seeks to generate actionable insights to promote mental resilience and well-being in academia. Special emphasis will be placed on comparative perspectives, gender dynamics, and culturally relevant coping mechanisms across diverse institutional contexts.
