She said that under the Happiness Curriculum, mindfulness has not only helped children but also helped in reducing the stress of teachers. She said Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and former education minister Manish Sisodia initiated the Happiness Curriculum in Delhi government schools, which helps children from nursery itself to recognize their abilities and understand themselves well from an early age so that they can face the challenges of life with confidence.
"The Happiness Class has taught Delhi government schoolchildren to become better humans and responsible citizens, and the role of our teachers in this has also been important," Atishi said.
