Mental Health not a subject of concern for educational institutes
Mental health is a widely ignored subject in India. Unsurprisingly the education hub of Noida and Greater Noida also do not have any dedicated awareness drive either by colleges or administration to provide any help in this regard. Academic structure of most colleges do not have any psychology evolution test at any stage, nor are there any psychological councillor to address any issues of students if required.
