Sarla Birla University’s commitment to student wellbeing was evident with the recent “Stress Management and Emotional Wellbeing” interactive counseling session organized by its Mental Health Club. The university auditorium served as the venue for this vital discussion aimed at equipping students with tools for mental resilience.
