Abstract:The Hidden Curriculum is an issue that effects the field of education. It refers to the transmission of educational content and ethics that are not formally communicated, established or conveyed within the learning environment. By studying the awareness of hidden curricular issues in 30 high school teachers in the Delhi- NCR region the research studies the existence of the concept in the Indian context and attempts to evaluate the awareness of the same. Through my study I concluded that although hidden curriculum is necessary to provide positive impact, it is possible to keep its negative consequences to a minimum by creating awareness among policy makers, teachers, parent and student community.

Abstract: Introduction: The pandemic has disturbed the mental health of people due to various reasons like loss of a loved one, financial insecurity, social disengagement, negative information through news channels and newspapers. During such difficult times, individuals with pre-existing mental health conditions become vulnerable to episodes of relapse and deterioration of symptoms. The unavailability of mental healthcare professionals due to the overburden caused by the current crisis restricts these individuals to home isolation which causes the family members to take up the responsibility of being a caregiver. The role of a caregiver amidst the pandemic can be very challenging psychologically. There is an urgent need to address the needs of this overlooked group of individuals through efficient support and interventions........
