The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare will observe World Mental Health Day on October 10, 2026, highlighting efforts to improve access to inclusive, affordable, and people-centred mental healthcare. This year’s global theme, “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change,” emphasises the importance of incorporating the experiences of people living with mental health conditions into policies and services.

A key initiative is Tele-MANAS (Tele Mental Health Assistance and Networking Across States), a national mental health helpline offering free, confidential support around the clock through the toll-free number 14416. Launched on October 10, 2022, the service has received 4,756,444 calls as of October 2026, with 53 operational cells covering all 36 states and union territories.

Tele-MANAS provides counselling and emotional support to people experiencing stress, anxiety, sleep-related difficulties and other mental health concerns. It also facilitates referrals to specialised mental health professionals when required. Its telephone-based model is particularly relevant for people in rural, remote and underserved areas where access to specialised services may be limited.

The Ministry is also advancing MANN Jaagriti, a community awareness initiative designed to improve mental health literacy, reduce stigma and encourage early help-seeking. The programme promotes sustained engagement through schools, colleges, workplaces, healthcare facilities and community platforms, involving healthcare professionals, educators, families, carers and people with lived experience.

Mental healthcare is also being expanded through the National Mental Health Programme and the District Mental Health Programme, which has been sanctioned for implementation in 767 districts. In addition, mental health services have been integrated into the comprehensive primary healthcare package offered through more than 1.83 lakh Ayushman Arogya Mandirs. These services support early identification, counselling, follow-up care and referrals to higher healthcare facilities.

According to the Ministry, women account for 43.78% of the 1,335,275 recorded Tele-MANAS caller profiles analysed, while people aged 18–45 years represent 73.2% of these profiles. These figures highlight engagement with telephone-based mental health support among women and working-age populations.

The Ministry reiterated that mental healthcare should be accessible to everyone and that seeking help should not be hindered by stigma or discrimination. Through Tele-MANAS, community awareness, and expanded primary healthcare services, the initiative aims to strengthen access to support across the country.
