Empowering Education: Building Strong Foundations with Social and Emotional Learning

My understanding from an excerpt from the book India Wins freedom by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is a transformative educational approach that equips students with essential life skills.
