National Celebration of SEL
Rohit Mehta Lions Quest Week
A one-of-a-kind national celebration of Social Emotional Learning — seven days of simple, fun, and hands-on activities that bring together students, teachers, parents, and communities to experience the immediate, heartfelt power of SEL in everyday life.
What the week is about
Celebrating SEL — together
The Rohit Mehta Lions Quest Week is more than an event — it is a movement. Each year, schools, families, and communities across India pause to celebrate the skills that truly matter: empathy, self-awareness, kindness, and connection.
Throughout this week, every activity is designed to be accessible, joyful, and inclusive — so that SEL is not just something children learn in the classroom, but something everyone experiences together.
