  "summary": "A recent study by the IC3 Institute has revealed a sharp decline in student well-being in India as pupils progress through the senior school years. The Student Well-Being Pulse Report, based on responses from 8,515 students across India, found that the proportion of students reporting high overall wellbeing fell from 62% in Grade 8 to 43% in Grade 12. The report highlights a consistent decline across wellbeing, happiness, confidence, and motivation as students advance through school. Negative emotions such as anxiety, low energy, frustration, loneliness, and sadness also intensify with age, peaking among students in Grades 11 and 12. The study emphasizes the widening gap between the pressures students face and the support they seek, with girls experiencing significantly higher levels of negative emotions than boys across all categories.",
