A webinar on ‘Scaling up the mind for New Normal: A Psychological Perspective’ was conducted by Dr. Alok Mishra, Joint Secretary (E & M), MHRD. He shared that there was too much information about the pandemic that is affecting people. “This is the time for goal setting and to develop new skills. And once this scenario gets better, we can scale up the mind,” shared Dr. Mishra. He elaborated upon the functioning of the brain; the left and right brain hemisphere; using the brain for optimum level and how to prepare ourselves for the new normal. “This is the time when we are learning to deal with this scenario. It’s important to challenge the brain during this time and use this moment to rest, recoup, eat well and be prepared for the post-Covid scenario,” shared Dr. Mishra. He asked students to take up activities during this lockdown period to equip themselves and also pursue those activities and hobbies that they had been wanting to do for a long time and were unable to find time for it.
