The research aims to create a ‘stressor hierarchy’ by studying the mental stressors (for example: academic bearing, parental pressure etc.) that impact college undergraduates in Nepal. Additionally, with the help of the hierarchy constructed, the research, consequently, seeks to develop a Students Mental Health Index (SMHI) by taking into account the most pernicious stressors that contribute to the decline of students’ mental health across Nepal.
