Focus on Mental Strength of Tribal Youth
Sunita Munda, Jharkhand in-charge of the WorldBeing India Foundation, spoke about the organization’s efforts. She noted that while tribal youth in Jharkhand possess great physical strength and resilience, they often need additional mental fortitude to overcome challenges. Through the Arohan program, the organization is working to build their mental strength.
The Chief Minister acknowledged this need and assured that the government would closely assess the impact of the program to explore ways to further support the mental well-being of tribal youth.
Integrating Arohan into the Education System
Representatives of the WorldBeing India Foundation informed the Chief Minister that Arohan is already being implemented in collaboration with Bihar’s education system. In response, the Chief Minister stated that the Jharkhand government would seriously consider integrating Arohan into its own education system. To evaluate its effectiveness, a team of teachers and officials from Jharkhand will be sent to Bihar to study the program’s implementation.
