IIT-Kharagpur Appoints Dean to Enhance Student Wellbeing

IIT-Kharagpur has hired a new person, called the Dean of Students' Well-being, to help students feel their best.

This person, Professor Arun Chakraborty, will meet with students to talk about their mental health and other concerns.

This new role was created after some students sadly passed away, and the school wants to support its students better.

The dean will focus on mental health, working closely with students both individually and in groups.

This is different from the existing dean of student affairs, who handles administrative and academic issues.
