Rajasthan plans to set up mental health cells and wellbeing centres across medical colleges to support the emotional and psychological wellbeing of medical students. The initiative focuses on addressing academic stress, anxiety, burnout, and mental health challenges commonly faced during medical education.
According to officials, the proposed mental health cells provide access to professional counselling, peer support systems, and early intervention services within campuses. Wellbeing centres aim to create safe and supportive spaces where students can seek help without stigma. The state intends to integrate mental health awareness programs, stress management workshops, and regular screening activities as part of the initiative.
The move comes amid growing concerns over rising stress levels and mental health issues among medical students due to academic pressure and long training hours.
