Ranchi, Apr 8 (PTI) Jharkhand Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar on Wednesday inaugurated a health and wellness centre at Ranchi University, noting the importance of physical fitness and mental well-being in a competitive world.
The facility has been set up at the Malaviya Mission Teacher Training Centre campus.
Describing the centre as a significant step towards holistic development, the governor said it would strengthen the physical, mental, emotional and social well-being of students, teachers and staff.
“In today’s competitive era, academic excellence alone is not enough. A healthy body and a balanced mind are equally essential,” he said.
Gangwar urged the youth to adopt a positive outlook and incorporate yoga and meditation into their daily routine.
He said concentration, discipline and self-confidence form the foundation of success, and a positive attitude helps convert challenges into opportunities.
Emphasising mental health awareness, the governor noted that timely counselling is crucial in dealing with stress and anxiety.
Collaboration with reputed institutions such as the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) and the Central Institute of Psychiatry (CIP) would ensure the effective functioning of the centre and provide expert services to the university community, he said.
Expressing confidence in the initiative, Gangwar said the centre could serve as a model for other educational institutions and contribute to building a healthier and more empowered society. PTI SAN SAN SOM
