Standardised student-counsellor ratio, well-being centres: UGC's draft on mental health norms
A UGC panel has proposed new guidelines for mental health support in higher educational institutions, recommending a counsellor-to-student ratio of 1:500 for larger colleges and 1:100 for smaller ones. The guidelines also call for dedicated Mental Health & Well-being Centres, regular stress awareness programs, and a central monitoring role for the UGC to improve student well-being.
