Rishihood University Launches MaNaS Initiative to Transform Mental Health Education

MaNaS will offer scientific training by considering India’s civilizational knowledge. From the very first year, students will gain hands-on experience through structured internships at hospitals, NGOs, startups, and educational institutions.

Rishihood University launched the Mahesh Navani School of Brain, Body, and Behaviour (MaNaS) initiative. MaNaS is an initiative to transform psychology and mental health education in India. The school was inaugurated by Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi and Rishihood University Chancellor & Former Union Minister Suresh Prabhu. Over 150 guests across India participated in the event. Notable among them were Vishal Tulsyan, Anurag Goel, Aditya Pittie, Vivek Sharma, Rishi Raj, Mukesh Jain, and Bishesh Khanal.

Speaking at the inauguration, Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi commended the initiative, saying, “Mental health is one of the greatest challenges of our time, yet it is often left in the shadows. I believe India must lead the way in globalising compassion, and this school is a powerful beginning.”

The Mahesh Navani School of Brain, Body, and Behaviour will have a modern curriculum that combines advanced scientific knowledge with India’s traditional knowledge. From the first year, students will get practical exposure through internships in hospitals, NGOs, startups, and educational institutions. The school will also feature the Human Augmentation Lab (HAL), where students can study how psychology, neuroscience, and technology connect, using tools like wearables, cognitive devices, and behavioural sensors.
