The Central Board of Secondary Education has launched a counselling app for class 9 to class 12 students. The counselling app is named Dost for life. The purpose of this app is to improve students’ psycho-social wellness.
Through this app, live counselling sessions will be conducted free of cost on Monday, Wednesday and Friday by the trained counsellors. The app will also provide students information on suggestive course guides after ten plus two, tips on mental health and well-being, a corona guide and rap songs. India’s education system has been hit very hard since April 2020, when schools and colleges shut down due to infection worries. Most were not open even in May 2021, creating a huge break in education continuity for crores of students.
