In response to the growing challenges surrounding mental and emotional well-being in today’s fast-paced and uncertain world, ChetnaUday Mission is set to be formally launched on 23 January 2026 through a Mega Virtual Launch Event. The mission will operate under Bodhagamya, a consciousness-led umbrella platform envisioned to bring together initiatives, programs, and institutions dedicated to holistic human development.
Bodhagamya has been conceptualised as a larger framework integrating work across emotional well-being, education, storytelling, wisdom traditions, and conscious living. Within this framework, ChetnaUday Mission will focus specifically on strengthening emotional awareness, inner balance, values, and responsible decision-making, addressing needs that cut across age groups, professions, and social contexts.
The upcoming launch event is expected to bring together eminent voices from administration, academia, culture, and consciousness-based work, reflecting the multidisciplinary foundation of the mission.
At its core, ChetnaUday Mission responds to the growing need for mental and emotional well-being across children, parents, teachers, educational institutions, youth, senior citizens, and the global Indian (NRI) community. The mission recognises that emotional stress, anxiety, and inner disconnection are no longer limited to any single demographic, but are increasingly visible across families, classrooms, workplaces, and communities.
The mission has been founded and envisioned by Dr. Priyadarshini Shukla, whose professional journey reflects a natural evolution from knowledge creation to holistic human development. Beginning with a publishing company dedicated to meaningful literature and knowledge dissemination, her work expanded into the wellness space which integrates emotional well-being, awareness practices, and human-centred growth. This journey has now culminated in the creation of ChetnaUday Mission, where learning, emotional resilience, and conscious living will converge into a structured and accessible platform for society at large.
Dr. Shukla shared the larger intent behind the initiative:“Bodhagamya is envisioned as a home for multiple initiatives working on different aspects of human consciousness and well-being. ChetnaUday Mission is one such initiative under this larger framework, dedicated specifically to emotional and mental well-being. Our intention is to build systems that are sustainable, inclusive, and deeply rooted in wisdom, while remaining relevant to modern life.”
A defining feature of ChetnaUday Mission is its approach to knowledge and learning. The mission draws inspiration from ancient Indian wisdom traditions, not as religious doctrine, but as sources of timeless insight into the human mind, emotions, and conduct. These insights will be thoughtfully translated into simple, relatable, and easily understandable talks, reflections, and practices, avoiding complex philosophy or technical jargon.
The emphasis will remain on practical applicationhelping individuals develop emotional literacy, self-awareness, responsibility, compassion, and conscious choice-making in everyday life. The mission positions itself as complementary to modern education and professional life, rather than as an alternative to them.
The launch program is planned to unfold across multiple sessions, with the Founder serving as the central anchor while distinguished guests join as Chief Guests for their respective sessions. These sessions will explore themes ranging from environmental awareness and human consciousness to governance, youth leadership, inner belief systems, and holistic approaches to well-being.
The launch will also feature child-centric segments, offering a glimpse into the mission’s child-first philosophy. These moments reflect how emotional expression and inner confidence can be nurtured in a safe, non-competitive, and encouraging environment.
ChetnaUday Mission will follow a hybrid engagement model, with programs accessible virtually so that people from different regions and countries can participate. Over time, the mission aims to deepen its work through collaborations with institutions and communities, expanding its reach while staying rooted in its core values.
Special focus will be placed on teachers and educational institutions, recognising their role as emotional and cultural anchors in society. The mission will also extend its scope to senior citizens and NRI communities, acknowledging their unique emotional landscapes and the need for culturally resonant and inclusive well-being platforms.With the launch of ChetnaUday Mission, Bodhagamya reaffirms its commitment to wisdom, creativity, healing, and conscious growth. The mission invites families, educators, institutions, and individuals to be part of a journey that places emotional well-being at the heart of human development.
The upcoming launch event is expected to be graced by eminent Chief Guests, including Harsh Khurana, Actor and public figure; Aprajita Shukla, IAS, Deputy Commissioner; Piyush Pathak, IAS; Prof. B. D. Tripathi, Banaras Hindu University; Ajay Mishra, Conscious Living expert; Prof. Y. B. Tripathi, Dean, Ayurveda Department, Banaras Hindu University; and Urmila Srivastava, Padma Sri awardee, who will offer a cultural invocation at the opening of the event.
The organisers emphasise that the forthcoming launch marks the formal beginning of a sustained, long-term effort to nurture emotionally aware, responsible, and conscious individuals who can contribute positively to families, institutions, and society at large.
