Manovikas in Marathi means Development of Mind. This project is an edutainment program of mental health awareness. This one hour community program includes topics related to mind and its functions, positive and negative thinking and its effect on the mind, how to keep the mind healthy. Myths and misconceptions about treatment of mental illness are also dealt with. The program includes role plays, skits and poems which deliver the message about Mental Health. About 20 volunteers are part of the project. Till date, over 500 programs all over Maharashtra have been held.
We are pleased to announce that we have taken these programs in schools, banks, colleges, and senior citizen clubs and also

In the coming years we are looking forwards to more and more volunteers joining Manovikas.
