	Board of Student Welfare (BSW) ~~is a primary student-led organization~~ at ~~the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (~~IIT Delhi~~) dedicated to the comprehensive well-being~~ and support ~~of the student community~~. ~~Functioning as~~ a ~~vital bridge between the~~ student ~~body~~ and ~~the institute administration~~, ~~the Board operates with a mission to foster a nurturing environment that addresses the~~ academic~~, emotional, social~~, and financial needs of students. Its structure comprises a dedicated team of student representatives, including secretaries, coordinators, and hostel-level representatives, who work under the guidance of faculty members to ensure that every student, from incoming freshers to doctoral candidates, experiences a seamless transition into campus life. By positioning itself as a support system that creates a "home away from home," BSW plays a critical role in mitigating the pressures of a rigorous technical education through a wide array of programs designed to enhance the overall quality of student life.		The Board of Student Welfare (BSW) at IIT Delhi focuses on enhancing student welfare through various counseling and support programs. The organization aims to create a positive impact on student life by offering resources and initiatives that promote mental well-being, academic success, and community engagement.

	A cornerstone of the Board’s operations is its robust academic support infrastructure, which is designed to assist students in navigating the complexities of the IIT Delhi curriculum. The Board manages an extensive network of Academic Mentors who provide one-on-one guidance, ~~conduct doubt-clearing sessions~~, and ~~host peer-learning workshops for various core~~ and ~~elective courses~~. ~~Recognizing the diverse linguistic backgrounds of the student body, BSW has pioneered~~ a ~~Language Mentorship program where senior~~ students ~~assist freshers who face difficulties in understanding lectures or academic concepts due~~ to ~~language barriers, offering support in various regional languages~~. ~~Furthermore, the Board maintains a centralized digital repository that includes previous year question papers, information booklets,~~ and ~~a specialized Humanities~~ and ~~Social Sciences Review Portal. This portal allows students~~ to ~~access peer reviews on course workloads, grading policies,~~ and ~~attendance requirements, thereby enabling informed academic choices~~ and ~~reducing the stress associated with course registration~~.		== Activities ==
			* Workshops and Sessions: BSW regularly organizes workshops such as Music & Meditation sessions, Drama Therapy programs, and Intern Guidance sessions to support mental health and career development.
			* Support Services: The organization provides a confidential vent space for students to express their concerns and offers professional counseling services across campus.
			* Cultural and Community Events: BSW hosts events like Kite Flying and Freshers’ Dinners to foster community spirit and interaction among students and faculty.

	~~In the realm of professional development and career readiness, BSW provides structured mentorship~~ to ~~help students secure internships and placements. One of its flagship initiatives is the publication of the BSW Bluebook,~~ a ~~comprehensive collection of internship experiences and advice from senior students across various domains such as core engineering, technology, consulting, and finance~~. ~~The Board also organizes "Research Intern ke Fundae"~~ sessions~~, which offer specific guidance on securing research opportunities both domestically~~ and ~~internationally, including advice on CV building and contacting foreign professors. To ensure students are~~ well-prepared for the recruitment season, BSW hosts suit camps providing formal attire at subsidized rates and collaborates with external educational organizations to offer discounted test series for competitive examinations like the CAT. ~~These efforts are complemented by alumni interaction series and podcasts, such as "~~A ~~Look Into Your Story~~,~~" where former~~ students ~~share their professional journeys and offer insights into life beyond the~~ campus.		== Flagship Events ==
			* '''Freshers’ STIC Dinner''': An evening for first-year students to engage with faculty in a relaxed setting.
			* '''Music Therapy Sessions''': Weekly sessions aimed at promoting relaxation and mental well-being through music.
			* '''Sanskrit Course''': A course focusing on spoken Sanskrit, enhancing cultural knowledge among students.
			* '''Lost & Found Drive''': An initiative to help students recover misplaced items on campus.

	~~Mental health and emotional well-being form a significant part of the Board’s mandate, reflected in its multifaceted approach to counseling and stress management.~~ BSW ~~works in close coordination~~ with ~~the institute’s counseling unit to provide both day and night support services~~, ~~ensuring that professional help is accessible even during late hours within~~ the ~~hostels. The Board has also established a confidential "vent space"~~ for ~~students to express their concerns anonymously, particularly during high-stress periods such as minor~~ and ~~major examinations~~. Beyond traditional counseling, BSW introduces innovative wellness programs such as music therapy sessions, Sahaja Yoga meditation workshops, and drama therapy performances. The latter, often conducted in collaboration with ~~professional theatre societies, uses the medium of street plays to address sensitive topics~~ like anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional healing, specifically targeting both undergraduate and postgraduate residents. The Board also marks World Mental Health Day with campus-wide activities, including movie screenings and awareness stalls, to ~~normalize conversations around mental health~~.		== Collaborations ==
			BSW collaborates with various organizations, including the National Service Scheme (NSS) for joint events and initiatives aimed at student welfare. They also partner with external entities like Max Super Specialty Hospital to provide additional counseling services.

	Social integration and community building are facilitated through the Student Teacher Interaction Committee (STIC), a specialized wing of BSW that aims to humanize the relationship between faculty and students. The flagship STIC Dinner is a major annual event where first-year students and professors interact in an informal setting, featuring live music, interactive Q&A sessions, and shared meals. To assist new students in acclimating to the campus and the city, the Board organizes orientation programs, the "Tour of Stalls" to showcase various campus societies, and "Delhi Darshan" trips. Cultural celebrations, such as kite-flying events on Independence Day and Republic Day, serve to foster a sense of national pride and communal harmony. Additionally, the Board oversees the organization of Speranza, its annual welfare festival, which brings together the entire campus for a series of events focused on holistic development, leadership, and recreation.		== Event Timeline ==

	~~Logistical and financial support programs managed by BSW address the practical challenges of campus living. The BSW Student Loan Scheme provides interest~~-~~free, short~~-~~term loans to students facing temporary financial crises, covering essential expenses such as tuition fees, hostel dues,~~ and ~~mess fees~~. ~~For campus mobility, the Board facilitates an E~~-~~Cart service that operates during late-night hours to ensure safe and convenient transportation across the sprawling campus. Other essential services include the management~~ of ~~a Lost and Found unit~~, ~~which organizes periodic drives to return misplaced items to their owners~~, and ~~the provision of comprehensive guides regarding non~~-~~graded unit (NGU) credits and service requirements. Through its collaboration with external healthcare providers, the Board ensures that~~ students ~~have access~~ to ~~specialized psychiatric care~~ with ~~significant financial reimbursement, thereby reinforcing the institute~~'~~s commitment~~ to ~~student health. By integrating these diverse functions~~, ~~the Board of Student Welfare remains an indispensable pillar of the IIT Delhi community~~, ~~ensuring that student success is supported by a foundation of well-being~~ and ~~inclusivity~~.		{\| class="wikitable" style="width:100%"
