Stress management should be taught, Minister Nirmala Sitharaman urges educational institutions

Latest News :- Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has urged educational institutions to teach about stress management. Ana Sebastian Berel (26) was the winner of last year's Certified Public Accountant (CA) exam. He was working in the Pune office of Ernst Young India (EY) for the last 4 months. He died of a heart attack last July. In this matter, Anna's mother said in a letter to EY India CEO Rajeev Memani, “My daughter is facing so much workload that her spine is broken. She was affected physically, emotionally and mentally by this. This is the reason for his death.”

In this matter, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, while speaking at a private medical college program on 21st, said, a news has come to light that a woman who studied well and got selected for CA course, is stressed due to workload. Due to which he died. Therefore, it is necessary for educational institutions to prepare students academically and teach them life lessons, especially stress management. Similarly, parents should teach their children that no matter what they study or do, they should have the mental strength to deal with stress. Have faith in God, we need God's grace. Seek God and learn good manners. This is where your spiritual power increases. Mental strength can be achieved only when self-power is developed.

Gain mental strength: Colleges and universities should try to include divinity and spirituality in their curriculum so that students can cope with the pressures in their lives. Only then will students get mental strength. This will not only help them but also help in the progress of the country. He said this.

Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal X said on social media, “The Finance Minister says that parents should be taught how to manage stress.” This is like blaming the dead Anna Sebastian and her parents. Blaming the victims in this manner is condemnable.

The anger and disgust felt by such comments cannot be expressed in words. Instead, he should have ordered an investigation into the toxic work environments of corporates. Also, reforms should have been made to protect the welfare of employees.
