HEALTH AND WELLNESS COMMITTEE

HEALTH AND WELLNESS COMMITTEE

A.  About the Committee-The Health and Wellness Committee was established in 2016 and the working of committee includes conduction of mental and physical health events, coordinating with Yourdost, happiness room, art of living and Yoga. Basically, anything related to health of student falls within the ambit of the committee. The Committee has now grown itself as an independent student-oriented platform where members are very prompt and shows alacrity in organising events and programs which encourages mental and physical health in a manner that is suitable and entertaining to all. We have conducted events like Blood Donation Drive, awareness week covering significant topic as the time demand, Open mic sessions especially for the First years students This event not only helps them to interact with their seniors but with the engaging events like singing, dance and poet recite the students feels comfortable. During the Covid times too, we were virtually present for our students and conducted events like appreciation week, one day at a time(where we honoured the various events and paid our gratitude).The committee also works in providing crucial information regarding various health issues, for example, COVID-19 in the present scenario, the committee tried to stay up to date with all the relevant information and updates. Also, time and again have conducted many fun events to create a positive environment in the campus.

The committee members are trained once in a year by the counseling experts. This helps the members to approach such students who are in distress and require professional help in a more amicable manner. The members are bound to maintain the confidentiality through conversation with any such student of the university and then the member encourages the student to take up professional help. The Committee makes sure to have at least two representatives from every batch as our members to ease out the mode of communication in cases.

Ice-breaking session

Apart from this, the Committee organizes events like Ice breaking sessions (Specifically for the First Years). Away from the home and in a totally new atmosphere, we believe that the new students do need a bridge to connect to their batch mates and seniorsin a fun and engaging manner. We generally conduct this event behind the academic block where the first years come and participate in the event and show their flairs like singing, poetry, dancing, etc.

Workshops& Webinars

The committee with the assistance of the administration has also organized various workshops on issues and topics like Sexual harassment and POSH Act, Building a Cohesive Campus Community, building empathy, improving focus, expressing through Art,MeToo movement, the Delhi infamous Boy’s Locker Room Case, breaking stigma, normalizing mental health, parenting young adults in COVID-19 and much more.

Happiness Journal

Additionally, the committee bi-monthly releases three happiness journal which is a consortium of various activities including positive quotes, mental health awareness, book suggestions, etc. In these trying times of global pandemic, the members of the committee come up with ideas where certain DIY activities are collected and apprised. This mail also mentions links of various podcast, YouTube and music channels which the students can connect and ease their strain or tension.

Blood Donation Drive

The first mega and successful event that was organised by the committee was the blood donation drive held on 27th September, 2019. In a period of four hours, we achieved a milestone of 90 donations from the student body as well as a few faculties of the university. The committee has also been bestowed with a memento of appreciation by the Red Cross Society for the cause.

Wellness Week

The committee also conducted a seven-day event named “One day at a time” also known as ‘The wellness week’. The week was filled with a series of fun, silly and unusually usual activities such as writing down the favourite memory of self or singing a favourite song etc. The activities hardly take 5-10 mins, but it keeps you in a light mood throughout your day. The tasks are very easy and are designed in order to bring you joy.
