The outbreak of the global pandemic COVID -19 presents a challenging time for everyone around the world. Not only is this pandemic a serious medical concern, but it also brings mixed emotions and psycho-social stressors for all. There are emerging mental health concerns with specific focus on Children, Adolescents and Youth as they more vulnerable to heightened level of stress, anxiety and fearfulness, along with a range of other emotional and behavioral issues. COVID-19 has also brought new stressors on Teachers and Parents hampering their capacity to provide positive support to their wards. While it is important to focus on continuing education on the academic front, we must give equal importance to the mental health and well-being of the students.

Manodarpan, an initiative of the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, under the AatmaNirbhar Bharat Abhiyan, aims at mobilizing psycho-social support to help Children, Youth, Teachers and Parents country-wide in a comprehensive and multimodal manner during conditions like COVID-19 and after. For more information, please visit www.mhrd.gov.in/covid-19/

MyGov in collaboration with the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, hereby invites citizens to share ideas and inputs to combat the psycho-social stress on School & College Students, Teachers and Parents, caused due to COVID-19 pandemic. Selected comments may be featured on social media.

Last date of sending us your inputs is 21st August 2020

There is evidence that during the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, as school closures were put in place, adolescent girls were vulnerable to coercion, exploitation, and sexual abuse, some of which resulted in an increase in unwanted pregnancies.

Stress among parents is associated with child abuse and neglect, and there is some suggestive evidence that domestic violence has already increased since the COVID-19 crisis began

For many students, and especially those living in fragile contexts, school can provide a (relative) haven from violence and other external threats, as well as access to services such as psychosocial support

Furthermore, parents and teachers may have difficulty responding adequately to threats to students’ mental and emotional well-being during the pandemic, given that they lack the necessary training and are likely to experience elevated levels of stress and anxiety themselves
