2. VISION AND MISSION
The COVID-19 pandemic had affected educational systems worldwide by closure of
schools. The transition from offline to online school impacted optimum learning,
and emotional health of students. Now that things are getting back to how they
were, it is getting tough to adjust to the NEW NORMAL. The past two years have
been difficult for all of us, especially when it comes to taking care of our mental
health. There has been a rise in stress, anxiety and other mental health problems
during the pandemic. Keeping this in mind, we are launching a psychology
inter-school event to generate curiosity and awareness among students about
psychology and help them understand about mental well-being.
3. FOREWORD
