Ananya Panday has taken a heartwarming step beyond the spotlight with her mental health initiative, So Positive. Teaming up with Slam Out Loud, she has launched India’s first dedicated Kindness Curriculum — a social-emotional learning (SEL) module aimed at cultivating empathy and emotional intelligence among school children.
Nurturing Young Minds Through Empathy and Expression
This newly launched curriculum goes beyond textbooks, focusing on building emotional strength, self-expression, and kindness as core values in students. By personally interacting with children and educators, Ananya aims to help children navigate their emotions, foster respect for others, and grow into more compassionate individuals.
A National Movement Rooted in Kindness

The program is designed to be implemented across schools in India, offering educators a structured way to integrate kindness into their classrooms. Ananya’s commitment to making mental health accessible and emotionally empowering continues to set new benchmarks for youth-driven social change.
Kindness Becomes Action, Not Just a Word
In a world often shaped by competition and comparison, Ananya’s Kindness Curriculum reminds us of the strength found in sensitivity. With this initiative, kindness is no longer an abstract virtue — it’s a practical, learnable life skill shaping India’s future generation.
