Empowering Minds at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad!

​On August 19, 2026, we welcomed our 1st-year students with an engaging Mental Wellness Seminar titled “Harnessing the Power of Mind”.
​Led by guest speaker Mr. Mohil Desai and our dedicated DSW team, the session gave students practical tools to build mental resilience, manage emotions, and stay focused. Using timeless concepts like the Katha Upanishad's chariot analogy alongside everyday psychological tips, we are helping our students gear up for a balanced and successful academic journey.
