Our Journey

The Udaan Initiative: Building Comprehensive Mental Health Care

Strategic Partnership Established

To address critical gaps in mental health services, Tata Trusts, in partnership with the RG Mundhe Foundation for Excellence and the Government of Maharashtra, signed a transformative MoU. This collaborative initiative aimed to enhance the District Mental Health Programme (DMHP) through a decentralized, holistic approach, building a more responsive, accessible, and comprehensive community mental health system across Nagpur district.

Visionary Leadership

All key developments under the Udaan initiative have been guided by the visionary leadership of Dr. Tasneem Raja. Under her direction, the project has made remarkable progress in advancing mental health care delivery and systems strengthening. Dr. Raja's commitment to community-centered mental health has been instrumental in driving the initiative's success and establishing sustainable frameworks for care.

Expanding the Vision

In August 2023, Gramin Adivasi Vikas Seva Sanstha (GAVSS) signed a new MoU with the Government of Maharashtra to extend the implementation of the DMHP in Nagpur district through 2026. Generously supported by the Indira Foundation and the RG Mundhe Foundation for Excellence, this phase ensures sustained momentum toward building an integrated, inclusive, and people-centered mental health care system.
