Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt Gen (Retd) KT Parnaik on Wednesday emphasised that mental health should no longer be a silent struggle or social taboo but a shared responsibility among all.

At an event in Itanagar, the governor handed over grant-in-aid cheques of Rs 10 lakh to Deepak Nabam Living Home, Senki Park, and Rs 5 lakh to Mother’s Home in Lekhi village, Naharlagun.

Parnaik urged NGOs to increase their efforts in rehabilitating and reintegrating individuals battling mental health challenges, focusing on their welfare and dignity.
