CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: AIIMS Bhopal’s Happiness Center Pioneers Mental and Emotional Well-being Initiatives
Under the leadership of Executive Director Dr. Ajay Singh, AIIMS Bhopal is working in a new direction that integrates mental and emotional well-being along with healthcare services. In line with this vision, the “Center of Happiness” was established on August 4, 2023.
Since its inception, the center has conducted numerous sessions for students, faculty members, children suffering from cancer, caregivers, and women, focusing on stress reduction and cultivating a positive outlook toward life.
As part of the foundation course for new MBBS students, an innovative session titled “Have the Courage to Be Happy – Theatre of the Oppressed” was organized. Through theatre and body language, students learned the art of self-expression and emotional regulation.
Additionally, a CME (Continuing Medical Education) session was held on the theme “Happiness: The Forgotten Aspect and the Science of Happiness”, featuring a lecture by Dr. Satinder Singh Rekhi from IIT Kharagpur on the topic: “Who is Running Your Life – You or Your Monkey Brain?”
On this occasion, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between AIIMS Bhopal and the Rekhi Foundation, aimed at strengthening research and academic collaboration. Dr. Rekhi stated, “A scientific understanding of happiness can help medical professionals live a more balanced life.”
