The practice started after the school authorities viewed Yoga coupled with laughter sessions as an ideal method to eclipse traits of aggressive behaviour among students.

The school principal has stressed the need for such sessions in the school due to increase in instances of depression among the students. She said that the laughter sessions are an attempt to include laughter as a part of their general psyche.

"Children are not getting involved in physical activity and also because of the increased competition the stress level is going up. They are all the time wanting to fulfill the dreams of their parents and teachers and consequently their lifestyle becomes lopsided. We feel that they have to regain balance and it needs conscious effort on their part," said Kamini Bhasin, Principal, Delhi Public School in Greater Noida.

�Children are bothered about the marks they get and target they need to achieve. They are forgetting how to laugh. They should use it as a stress reliever and should not be inhibited because it actually is a very very effective medicine,� she added.

She also advocated the need to inculcate stress management skills in the curriculum for its better implementation and results.

Recently, in a shootout incident at a Gurgaon school two students killed their classmate. The incident has alarmed schools about the kind of stress students are in at an impressionable age.
