Bharti Airtel Foundation trains Shimla teachers in Life Skills under Mindfulness curriculum

Bharti Airtel Foundation ran a two-day training of resource teams on its "Life Skills under Mindfulness" curriculum in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, on February 18–19, 2026. The original event description names the Foundation as the organiser and places the sessions in Shimla across the two training days.

The Foundation’s LinkedIn post notes that the organisation, "in partnership with Samagra Shiksha, Himachal Pradesh, proudly launched the Life Skills under the Mindfulness Curriculum." The LinkedIn copy added: "This collaborative initiative aims to nurture emotional well‑being, resilience, and interpersonal skills among students across Himachal Pradesh, equipping them with essential tools to thrive in the 21st century. Together, we are building a stronger, more mindful generation of learners." The post also used the hashtags #BhartiAirtelFoundation #LifeSkills #Mindfulness #EducationPartnership #StudentWellbeing #HimachalPradesh #21stCenturySkills #EducationMatters #TogetherForEducation.

According to the LinkedIn account of the event, the launch was inaugurated by Hon’ble Education Minister Shri Rohit Thakur, who reaffirmed the government’s commitment to innovative and future-ready education. The LinkedIn post lists key dignitaries present as Shri Ashish Kohli, Director School Education; Shri Rajesh Sharma, State Project Director, Samagra Shiksha; and Mr. Sameer Shah, Head – Program Operations, Bharti Airtel Foundation, along with officials from the Education Department and team members from the Foundation.

An Instagram excerpt corroborates the dates and curriculum, stating the Foundation ran "Life Skills under the Mindfulness Curriculum on 18–19 February 2026" and referenced collaboration "with the Directorate of" before the caption was truncated. The publicly posted reactions on LinkedIn included comments such as Mehedi Hasan’s: "It's inspiring to see how the Bharti Airtel Foundation is championing emotional well-being and essential skills for students in Himachal Pradesh. This initiative will undoubtedly empower the next generation to navigate challenges with resilience and mindfulness. Great work!" and Govind Sambyal’s similar praise.

The training is described specifically as targeting "resource teams," but the Foundation has not disclosed the number of participants, exact venue in Shimla, names of trainers or a session-by-session agenda. The Foundation’s broader education work cited on its site, 25 years of programs including Satya Bharti Schools, the Quality Support Program, the Bharti Airtel Scholarship and TheTeacherApp, provides context for the Shimla activity, and recent Foundation posts reference volunteer classroom activities in Delhi and a Teachers' Conclave 2025 in Ranchi with 91 educators.

The rollout framing positions the Life Skills under Mindfulness curriculum as part of a larger teacher-upskilling and quality support effort by Bharti Airtel Foundation and Samagra Shiksha in Himachal Pradesh; precise participant numbers, training materials and monitoring plans for statewide implementation have not been published.
