He continued that the main objective of the campaign was to change the outlook/perspective of children towards exams, to bring positive impact through social media platforms and to provide expert advice on exam related stress and anxiety in children.

Kh Robindro Singh, chief executive officer/member secretary, Manipur State Mental Health Authority cum District Nodal Officer District Mental Health Program Chandel stated that students in schools experience high stress during examination, especially during their board examinations due to various reasons such as lack of preparation, style of their study and lack of needed information, etc.

"When stress is perceived negatively or becomes excessive, it leads to anxiety before and during examinations and ultimately affects their academic achievement.

Fear of failure and rejection is hardwired into the human brain, even more than the fear of death.

This in turn, leads to stress, anxiety and depression", he asserted.

Kh Robindro further advised the students to maintain a healthy lifestyle and take care of their sleep and nutrition while adding that concentration exercises, meditation can help in building a positive attitude.
