ManoSetu

The school mental-health compliance and operations platform, helping Indian schools meet new student-wellbeing mandates, and actually support their students.

The Need

India's students are struggling, and the system isn't equipped to respond

of school-going children in India show signs of depression, roughly 65 million young people.

The Mandate

Student wellbeing is now a legal requirement

Recent judicial and regulatory changes mean every school must put structured mental-health support and compliance in place.

July 2025 · Supreme Court

Binding guidelines issued for all educational institutions, mental-health counsellors required, with annual compliance reporting.

Jan 2026 · CBSE Bye-Law

One trained counselling & wellness teacher required per 500 students, plus career-counselling support.

2026 · National Policy

A national framework formalising ongoing wellbeing monitoring, staff training, and documented support.

Our Positioning

Not just a mental-health app, a school compliance and operations platform

ManoSetu gives schools the operational backbone to meet the mandate and genuinely support students, while clinical validation and content come through trusted partners.

The Product

Four modules. One complete system.

01

Check-In Engine

A daily 90-second student mood check-in that works on any browser. Names aren't stored with responses, and class-level patterns surface early, with a self-referral button for students who want help.

02

Counsellor Dashboard

A class-level wellbeing view with flagged attention areas, an anonymous session-booking queue, and session notes with outcome tracking, turning one overstretched counsellor into a proactive system.

03

Compliance Reporting

Auto-generated reports that give schools the documentation and audit trail they need to demonstrate compliance, without manual record-keeping.

04

Staff Training & Parents

Track mandatory staff training and certificates, and keep parents engaged through simple, timely nudges, closing the loop around every student.

Why It Matters

Behind every dashboard, a student

Students stay silent

Stigma keeps struggles hidden. A simple, private check-in gives every student a way to ask for help.
