Rajasthan schools use yoga, interactive learning to help students manage exam stress
India Today
Government schools in Rajasthan are set to place greater emphasis on students' mental well-being. The move comes amid growing concerns over stress and anxiety among school-going children, especially during exams.
The Rajasthan Education Department has announced a series of initiatives aimed at strengthening mental health support for students in government schools, amid growing concerns over exam-related stress and anxiety.
Officials said the focus is on building a school environment that is safe, encouraging and emotionally supportive, so that students grow not only academically but also with confidence and emotional resilience.
School Education Secretary Krishna Kunal said the department is prioritising students’ overall development by introducing activities that help them manage pressure and express emotions in healthy ways.
Measures such as yoga sessions, gratitude-based classroom activities and interactive learning tools are being used to help students stay calm, focused and emotionally balanced, especially during examination periods.
A key component of the initiative is the introduction of Jaadui Pitara, a play-based learning kit designed to support cognitive, language and social development. Through stories, games and creative exercises, younger students are encouraged to think freely, communicate better and interact positively with peers.
Officials said this approach helps children learn in a stress-free environment while also strengthening emotional well-being from an early age.
