The Centre for Flourish at Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology (Bengaluru), a constituent college of Nitte University (Mangaluru), is a pioneering initiative dedicated to enhancing student well-being and fostering a culture of resilience, motivation and excellence. Recognizing the unique challenges engineering students face - ranging from academic pressures to personal and professional uncertainties - the Centre provides comprehensive support through counselling services, skill-building workshops and peer-driven mental health initiatives.
Designed as a collaborative effort between faculty, mental health counsellors and students, the Centre focuses on equipping learners with essential life skills, promoting self-development and ensuring they are prepared for both academic and professional success. From one-on-one counselling and academic goal-setting support to interactive mental health workshops, the Centre takes a holistic approach to student growth.
A key feature of the Centre for Flourish is its proactive engagement through Mind Mechanics workshops, Wellness Squads and peer support groups, creating safe spaces for students to seek guidance and share experiences. Additionally, an embedded first- and second-year course fosters experiential learning in self-awareness, communication and employability skills. Faculty members receive specialized training in identifying at-risk students, with psychoeducational programs equipping them to serve as mental health gatekeepers.
By integrating mental health awareness into the college ecosystem, the Centre not only enhances student well-being but also strengthens their readiness for placements and long-term career success. With a 24/7 helpline and strategic partnerships with hospitals, the Centre for Flourish stands as a testament to the institution’s commitment to nurturing confident and thriving engineers.
