A key idea introduced was \u2018development with divinity\u2019, which framed well-being as not just an individual pursuit but a shared, value-driven responsibility.The university has also set up \u2018Sankalp\u2019, an anti-drug and mental wellness club aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles and awareness. Regular events engage students through creative activities like art walls, gratitude exercises and interactive sessions.It also conducts expert-led webinars, panel discussions and orientation programmes focused on stress management and emotional resilience.In addition, GGSIPU offers specialised academic programmes in mental health fields and promotes peer-led support systems. Cultural events, sports and workshops further encourage social connection, helping build a more inclusive, supportive and stigma-free campus environment.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
