Techfest is an annual science and technology celebration of the IIT Bombay.
The festival this year has introduced a national-level campaign for college students to take care of their mental health during the coronavirus pandemic.
The campaign will have in-depth workshops that will be attended by more than 90 counsellors from all over India.
The festival team has also started a section on its official website that will connect students to counsellors and help fight the myths surrounding mental illnesses.
The noble initiative is called HOPE (Healing Occurs with Positivity and Expression).
The website was started on Sunday and the workshops are likely to start from 26 September 2020.
