Context and Rationale
The MHW Rankings 2026 aim to move the national conversation beyond awareness and towards institutional action.

It seeks to identify institutions where wellbeing is not treated as a temporary campaign, but as a sustained institutional commitment. Final Timeline: 21 Aug'26
The Distinctive Framework
The rankings are designed to assess both formal systems and lived campus experience. This includes counselling facilities, mentor-mentee structures, faculty engagement, student support services, hostel and residential life, grievance redressal, anti-ragging and anti-bullying measures, discipline systems, inclusion practices, student participation, leadership commitment, and institutional distinctiveness. The MHW framework recognizes that wellbeing is multidimensional.
