To ensure equitable access to quality mental health services for all students, University Grants Commission (UGC) has ordered setting up of Students Services Centres (SSC) in all the Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) to manage problems related to stress and emotional adjustment.
The SSCs are expected to have standardized, systematic arrangements within the relevant provision to provide requisite support to students, especially from rural backgrounds, female students, students from divergent cultural backgrounds, and students with special needs.
