If you love graphic designing, creating posters, have a knack for developing the perfect insta grid, this is the place for you.

The past year has been a journey unprecedented. Blurring lines between reality and the virtual world, the student community has been affected immensely by the raging pandemic. We have all dearly missed the feel of our classrooms, the confines of our hostels, and the warmth of Insti. Saathi, the student wellness cell of IIT Madras, aims at providing a better experience for the student community. But we cannot achieve this without your help. Join Team Saathi today as our Super-Coordinators and strive towards a better tomorrow for all of us. Check Smail for further details

Hi folks!
Bored at home with lots of time at hand? Or stressed with lot of work being dumped during your interns?
In any case, taking out 15-20 mins for self-reflection is always worth doing... Help out yourself as well as our Saathi mentor Viji mam with her research on Well-Being by filling out the questionnaire here: https://forms.gle/JAevetBTMNBthjy19

Here's a little note from Viji mam :

We are all currently undergoing a crisis situation that is commonly not experienced by the human hood. We are, in reality, being active participants in creating history that will be told by us to our children and grandchildren, and by them to their own. Having said this, it can be asserted that the human mind also, in this phase, is attaining significant milestones. Therefore, here we are, a group of researchers associated with IIT Madras (alumni, researchers interested in well-being, and faculty), who are extremely intrigued by what you may be going through, hence our request to share your journeys with us through being a part of this survey. You may have received many such surveys, but I hope that this one gives back something to you in terms of reflection time.

You will find a set of questions that give you an opportunity to look within during this crisis. We hope that by responding to these questions, it not only helps us with your data, but we hope that in the process of reflecting on the questions, it gives you an opportunity to spend that quiet, contemplative time that we sometimes miss.

Request you to please fill this up:

Thanks so much!
Warm regards
Viji & Team

Dear respondent Hope all is good with you, family and friends. Thank you for taking the time to click on this link. We hope you will go ahead and fill up the questionnaire.
