Mental Health initiative

On 10th-11th October 2011 the Public Health Foundation of India observed the world mental health day wiht a two day program in the IIC, New Delhi..We participated in two programs- one each at the Lady Irwin College (September 2011) and the IIC

A major part of our work is in the area of mental health and we are in the process of setting up a whole arm of mental wellness titled- MANSA. Several academics, psychologists and senior people have been requested to be a part of this venture, which starts initially as a think tank venture. Hope to accomplish some serious things through this and by putting mental health in the domain of the community itself.

How Hansadhwani was born and grows

This is the building-blog of Hansadhwani Foundation, where you get to look at the scenes behind the curtains: where we sit together to build the Foundation. Here you see how we slowly labour towards building a dream for the world we live in by using the performing and visual arts to contribute towards life and sensibilites by expanding the scope of the mind. Naturally we engage ourselves in issues of health and education.

But that is not all, we do wish to seriously engage in seemingly uncorrelated issues too- which are actually perfectly linked in the wiring of some of us- the issue of accountability in education and nutrition in health.

We are the change-makers of our times and THAT idea whose time has now come.

You are welcome to be a part of hansadhwani if you see a part of your own madness being reflected with something that we do; because most sane people will anyways worry about their own immediate survival issues only. Explore that- strengthen us and contribute meaningfully to the world we live in.
