One of Snehi’s most significant contributions to the mental health sector has been its role in advocating for the inclusion of mental health within the Government of India’s XIth Five Year Plan (2007–2012).
Working in collaboration with a network of mental health professionals, organisations, and advocacy partners, Snehi actively engaged with policymakers and decision-makers to highlight the urgent need for greater recognition and investment in mental health care across the country.
This collective advocacy effort led to a historic breakthrough. For the first time, mental health was formally acknowledged within the national planning framework, marking an important shift in India’s approach to mental health care.
Advocacy is an ongoing process. Building on this milestone, Snehi continues to work with partners, opinion leaders, policymakers, and institutions to promote the effective implementation of mental health policies and programmes.
Through sustained engagement and awareness-building, Snehi remains committed to strengthening mental health systems and ensuring that mental well-being remains a priority within public policy and social development initiatives.
