Tech Community, Let's Support Mental Health Education in Schools

Aditya Gupta — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 07:04:53 GMT

As developers, we solve complex problems daily, but sometimes the biggest impact is outside our code. India's facing a crisis: over 8,000 students die by suicide annually, many due to academic pressure and mental health issues. A petition on Change.org, "India: The Suicide Capital of the World - Mandate Mental Health Education in Schools," by Sree Krishna Sellam, calls for mandatory mental health education in schools. This would teach students about well-being, stress management, and help-seeking, akin to early bug detection in our projects.
Mental health education can reduce stigma, build resilience, and create supportive environments, much like how we foster collaboration in tech teams. As developers, we understand preventive measures; this is one for human lives. Sign, comment, and share the petition at this link. Learn more at the WeDidit Foundation their website and follow Sree Krishna Sellam on social media.

Hey Hashnode crew! If you’re a developer or just someone chasing a better life, 5 Killer Habits: Be a Rebel by Sree Krishna Seelam is a game-changer. This self-help book breaks down five habits—early rising, volunteering, reading, curiosity, and solo travel—into actionable steps for personal growth. Seelam, a curious soul who’s read 1,000 books and interviewed seniors, condenses his wisdom into a 100-minute read that’s perfect for busy coders.

Why’s it special? Every sale supports girl child education in rural India (100+ girls funded!). Imagine coding all day, then knowing your $2.99 Amazon purchase helps someone else thrive. Readers on Goodreads (1,186 reviews) love it—“It gave me purpose,” one said—though a few call it basic. Still, its practical tips resonate, especially for breaking out of routine.

For devs, habits like curiosity (think debugging life) and reading (hello, tech docs) hit home. It’s a rebellion against stagnation, blending self-improvement with social good. Grab it, hack your habits, and share your thoughts—I’d love to hear how it boosts your productivity or mindset!

wedidit.in: A Global Movement for a Better Tomorrow

In March 2020, as the world grappled with lockdowns and isolation, a spark of hope emerged from Vijayawada, India. Seven students, led by visionary founder Sree Krishna Seelam, launched WeDidIt—a non-profit that would grow into a 3,200-volunteer powerhouse within months. This is the story of how a containment-zone startup redefined volunteering for the digital age, proving that compassion transcends physical boundaries.

By January 2021, these initiatives attracted 3,210 registered volunteers across India, with 1,274 earning certifications.

The Digital Volunteering Playbook: How WeDidIt Scaled Impact

1. Micro-Actions, Macro Results

Every task is designed for shareability and chain reactions. When Anirudra Makur from Durgapur fed pigeons and tagged friends, his post reached 2,300 Instagram users in 48 hours. The organization tracks these digital ripples through real-time dashboards.

2. Hybrid Training Modules

New volunteers undergo a 4-phase onboarding:

Empathy 101: Interactive webinars with social leaders

Skill Labs: Workshops on content creation, community organizing, and SDG mapping (aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals)

Field Simulations: Virtual role-plays for real-world scenarios

Legacy Building: Contributing to long-term projects like the national oral history archive.
