Did you know that the present generation of the workforce is the most educated but the least paid generation in history? As a generation that is prone to experiencing a plethora of stress, the younger generation, contrary to popular belief is not the happiest. According to a survey by the Nightline Association, around 65% of students feel stressed at any given point of time.

Students of any university have to worry about exams, assignments, and what they could do next. Trying to manage all these at the same time can be overwhelming for anyone. For a student, every spare minute is filled with thoughts about what they can achieve in the future. Even during vacations, they are bound to think about internships, placements and what they can add to their resume.

But at the same time, the more the students think and stress about these facets, lesser will be the time they dedicate to things that matter. For individuals who are struggling to remain focused and calm, it becomes increasingly difficult to break this cycle. To help with individuals dealing with the same, students from across the country are utilizing self-empowering, practical tools that can help them discover the calmness of their minds helping them feel alive and present.

The Happiness Program imbibed across educational institutions helps students find joy and peace even while facing the most demanding situations in their everyday lives.
