Yesterday, Sunday, 6th August 2023, 165th Conovation of the University of Madras took place and the Indian President Droupadi Murmu made her presence felt in the convocation.

Two way communication is very important for the development of a student and the educational institutions must create a friendly atmosphere for that. This was mentioned by the Indian President Droupadi Murmu yesterday. This friendly atmosphere would make a student feel comfortable and they would discuss their fears, anxieties etc easily.

The Indian President spoke about how the parents, faculty members and educational institutions etc could come together and help the students through various issues they face. She wanted the students to be loved, valued and empowered  to face challenges with courage and confidence.

Reasons for mental stress among students:

The students now have lots of mental stress due to pressure to excel in academics, the fear of not getting admissions in good institutions, anxiety of not landing a prestigious job, weight of expectations from parents etc. Holistic growth and wellbeing of the students is necessary and for that issue of mental stress must be addressed. This could be carried out by coming together as a society and creating an environment.
