Create consciousness on mental health


Infosys mentor Narayana Murthy today urged India''s premier mental health institution NIMHANS to play a lively role in disseminating information on mental health and illness and to help eliminate the fear and stigma associated with it. Speaking at a function to mark NIMHANS (National Institutte of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences) 37th year, he said the institute should carry out an awareness campaign to help people realise that such illnesses could be treated. He also strongly advocated use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) solutions to take mental health care to the rustic masses.
