The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, will together launch the Project MATE (Mind Activation Through Education). MATE is a first-of-its-kind adolescent wellness training programme for CBSE school counsellors and wellness teachers. As a part of the collaboration, nearly 50 counsellors from CBSE-affiliated schools in the Delhi-NCR region will participate in the inaugural session. The session will continue till August 30, 2025.
CBSE Chairperson Rahul Singh, while addressing, said children today face increasing issues of loneliness, stress, and emotional disconnection. “Project MATE provides a framework to address these needs by equipping school counsellors and educators with the right tools to intervene meaningfully,” he cited.
Going further, AIIMS Director Prof. M. Srinivas called the programme a “transformative initiative” that bridges education and health. He highlighted the importance of strength-building, collective responsibility, and quick support for adolescent well-being.
