The Rekhi Foundation for Happiness and the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IIT Roorkee) have inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to create a special "Centre for the Science of Happiness" on the IIT Roorkee campus.

A wide range of possibilities will be available at this center to improve students' intellectual and emotional health. These consist of specialized classes, hands-on training in a cutting-edge Mind Lab, and direct access to global authorities in the field of happiness science.

The Center will receive yearly financing from the Rekhi Foundation to promote the development of cutting-edge research, creative course design, and infrastructure construction.

Through a variety of initiatives under our wellness center, we at IIT Roorkee are dedicated to the holistic development of our students. We are making a big step toward fusing academic success with emotional well-being by founding this Centre for the Science of Happiness in partnership with the Rekhi Foundation.

IIT Roorkee's dedication to fostering both academic achievement and emotional resilience has been further strengthened with the founding of the Centre for the Science of Happiness. Supported by the Rekhi Foundation, this center seeks to create a more comprehensive and satisfying learning environment by incorporating happiness research into the academic path of students. Students will flourish academically and emotionally thanks to the Center's resources and cutting-edge programs, which will provide them with tools for resilience, personal development, and mental health.
