About SIDHARTHAN

SIDHARTHAN is a student wellness app for colleges in Kerala. It brings together ragging reporting, drug abuse reporting, counselling support and Mingle Time, with an SOS that alerts campus responders, so students and parents know where to turn.

Students and parents use the mobile app. Staff and responders use the staff side of the app and the web workspace.

How it is built

What guides the service

  • Set up by your institution

    There is no public sign-up. Institutions enrol students, link parents and guardians, and give staff the access their role needs.

  • People make the decisions

    Reports are reviewed and decided by people at your institution and, when needed, at university, district and state level. The app does not decide who is at fault.

  • Care kept separate

    Counselling and help with drug or alcohol use go to a care team, separately from reports that need a response and a decision.

  • Private by design

    Your request history stays behind your secret PIN, confidential reports are hidden from usual review screens, and staff see only the work their role allows.

  • Clear next steps

    Concern reports have service timeframes and move to university, district and state review if they stay unresolved.

  • Help is always open

    Help and emergency contacts are available in the app without signing in, and on this website.
