    A community mental health programme was started in 2005 in response to the increasing rates of suicides in the community. Training to detect patients with mental illness was given to the health volunteers and staff of ASHWINI including doctors. Identified patients were picked up and given treatment close to home. The programme has become a well-established one with the support of The Tata Trusts and the formation of the Mental Health Team of ASHWINI further supported by Azim Premji Philanthropic Initiatives (APPI).
