Overview

To address mental health concerns, the Maharashtra government has recently formed an 11-member expert committee to develop a draft policy on student mental health protection and grievance redressal in educational institutions.

This policy will be applicable to public universities (non-agricultural), affiliated colleges, and private universities across Maharashtra.

An 11-member expert committee has been formed under the chairmanship of Dr Hemlata Bagla, Vice Chancellor of Mumbai-based HSNC University. She has directed the committee to submit a draft within two months. The formation of the committee was announced in a government resolution issued by the Department of Higher and Technical Education on October 10.
