    [abstract] => This review paper examines the evolution of mental health counselling in Indian schools, tracing its roots from traditional, community-centred guidance to the structured mental health services increasingly recognised today. It synthesises literature on school-based mental health support, emphasising the importance of early intervention and its impact on academic and emotional well-being. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 serves as a key catalyst, promoting a learner-centric model that integrates mental health services within schools. The paper highlights the critical role of teachers in recognising distress and fostering socio-emotional skills in their students. The paper will discuss the crucial role of teachers in identifying mental health concerns and promoting socio-emotional development, highlighting their significance in a culturally diverse educational environment. By addressing these key elements, the paper offers a comprehensive outlook on the future of school counselling in India, arguing that NEP 2020 serves as a roadmap for advancing the counselling profession and promoting resilience and emotional health among adolescents in an increasingly complex society.
