Happiness lab at AGDC to help girls tackle challenges

Lucknow: The students at Avadh Girls’ Degree College will now get an insight into a wide range of perspectives and ideas about happiness. For this purpose, the college has set up a Happiness Lab that offers strategies for improving personal happiness.
“The lab is an attempt to help students be happy and tackle challenging situations and stressful events,” Prof Upma Chaturvedi, college’s NSS officer, said.
Prof Chauturvedi was addressing students during a programme on mental health and well-being, organised in collaboration with the State Innovations in Family Planning Services Project Agency (SIFPSA) under the aegis of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav on Tuesday.
College principal Prof Bina Rai said the college also has a unique initiative called ‘Dost’, a box for students where they can express themselves (any kind of help like doctor, counsellor) in writing.
The programme concluded with a exciting quiz competition and the national anthem.
