To ensure enhanced mental health access for students and faculty, the National Institute of Technology, Calicut (NIT-C) and the Kozhikode- based Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (IMHANS), an autonomous institution under the State government, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on Monday.
The initiative is part of the Centre’s directive to promote mental health and well-being in higher education institutions. The collaboration could result in the comprehensive well-being of students, faculty and community at the NIT-C, said NIT-C Director Prasad Krishna, during the signing of the MoU.
He added that the partnership would help study mental health issues among students, identify the reasons that lead to suicide among students and study the mental stress they experience.
