Using a quasi-experimental design, the study involved 162 undergraduate women (mean age 18.55) from rural backgrounds; 80 volunteered for intervention and 82 for the control group. Participants completed pre-, post-, and three-month follow-up assessments, and the results showed significant gains in mindfulness, PERMA (Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment) flourishing, character strengths, and a reduction in psychological distress, with moderate to large effect sizes. A follow-up after three months showed persistent effects in certain aspects. This investigation among the Indian population contributes to the literature on MBSP in an Eastern context. It underscores the effectiveness of MBSP as a positive psychological, mindfulness-based intervention on college campuses for promoting well-being and mitigating mental health challenges among college students. 2024 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor &amp; Francis Group.
