“The National Wellbeing Conclave 2025 at IIT Bombay was a meaningful and enriching experience for me. The integrated approach—bringing together psychologists, somnologists, dieticians, and nutritionists etc. etc. Offered a holistic understanding of mental health, resilience, and wellbeing. The panel discussions were insightful, the workshops highly engaging, and the activities thoughtfully designed to promote self-reflection and practical wellbeing skills. Our stay at the hostel was comfortable and I thoroughly enjoyed the lunch, dinner, and the tea as well. Overall, I felt that the conclave provided valuable knowledge and actionable strategies that can be applied both personally and professionally. It was important for us to focus on the importance of mental wellbeing amidst all the academic and personal stress and these two days reminded that.”
