There are a plethora of variables that are responsible for the overall health of society. This includes both physical and mental health, which together lead to better development of a society. But as any disorientation in physical health is highly visible, mental health lacks that instant self-diagnosis. This leads to ignorance of mental health. According to the latest research by neuroscientists, the majority of health-related diseases originate from poor mental frameworks. Common people in society lack awareness and knowledge of the direct connections between mental and physical health. This degree project is primarily focused on portraying people’s mindsets regarding the education system, from specific demographics in India. The correlation between education and mental health is researched and profusely discussed in this paper. The thesis aim is to analyze the current scenario of mental health and propagate a sense of social awareness, especially among the youths, regarding certain undisclosed facts about the prevailing education system of the country. Along with a qualitative in-depth interview and online survey interview, the paper also includes a participation observation method. The participants involved were divided into four categories - teachers, parents, school students, and college students. For the in-depth interview there were 96 participants, for the online survey there were 138 participants and for the participatory video method, there were 22 participants. The theoretical framework devices for the research methods are the Media for Development (M4D) and Behavioural approach. The findings from the data analysis conducted revealed a lot about the mental health awareness and the impact of education among the young generation of the country, the behavior pattern among parents and teachers when observed in an environment of mental health mise-en-scene, created with the help of a compiled movie, was also quite insightful for the entire research purpose.
