IITs and IIMs Adopt 'No-Bag Day' Trend for Student Well-being

Several IITs and IIMs have introduced a 'No-Bag Day' initiative on campus to promote student mental health and reduce academic pressure.

The trend, which involves students carrying items like buckets or hangers instead of traditional bags, aims to foster a more relaxed and creative campus environment.

Administrators report that the initiative has been well-received, with plans to integrate more wellness-focused activities into the academic calendar for the 2026-27 session.
