Chitkara University Champions Student Well-Being with Mentoring and Counselling Cell

Chitkara University continues its commitment to fostering a supportive educational environment with its Student Mentoring and Counselling Cell, which enhances student well-being, mental health, and personal growth. Recognising the pressures students face during their academic journey, including stress, anxiety, and other mental health challenges, the university has established this resource to ensure all students, especially girls, have equal access to educational opportunities and support. This initiative is part of Chitkara University’s mission to create a holistic and inclusive educational experience.

The Mentoring and Counselling Cell offers a structured system of guidance and support, helping students unlock their potential in terms of academic, professional, and personal goals. The mentoring component pairs students with experienced mentors who focus on nurturing students’ skills, confidence, social values, and ethical perspectives. Through increased contact hours with faculty, students build a supportive rapport with mentors who are prepared to help them navigate the challenges of university life. The system also identifies students who may need additional academic support, such as advanced or specialised tutoring, while helping them explore opportunities for professional development and cultural engagement.

Beyond mentorship, the Counselling Cell provides free, one-on-one sessions with qualified professionals who offer confidential guidance to students experiencing mental health difficulties. These sessions are designed to provide emotional support without imposing financial burdens, ensuring every student can access the resources they need. For students with disabilities, Chitkara University has further prioritised inclusivity by implementing accessibility resources, including wheelchair ramps, elevators, and specially designed facilities, reinforcing its commitment to providing a welcoming campus for all.

Through these comprehensive initiatives, Chitkara University ensures that every student, regardless of background or challenges, is equipped with the resources and support to thrive academically and personally. Dr. Madhu Chitkara, Pro Chancellor of Chitkara University, emphasised, “Our mission is to cultivate a supportive educational environment that nurtures mental health and promotes overall well-being. The Mentoring and Counselling Cell stands as a testament to this commitment.”

By prioritising mental health and equal access to educational resources, Chitkara University is not only enhancing the academic experience but also preparing students to contribute to a resilient and inclusive society. Through its Mentoring and Counselling Cell, the university reaffirms its dedication to student well-being, shaping a future-ready, empowered community.
