NISHKAM FOUNDATION
Nishkam Foundation is a non-profit non-governmental organization (NGO) working in the field of Mental Health and Drug Abuse. Working on a mission to empower and enable the community for promotion and restoration of mental health, we at Nishkam Foundation are cherishing a dream of contributing towards the mental health of our 1.2 billion strong community in India by developing and implementing community based innovative strategies and progammes in the field of mental health and drug abuse. We adopt a bottom up approach in which we think from the community perspective and act in the community context. We engage the community in mental health programmes and put community resources in use for the mental health of people in the community. We facilitate a process of people taking responsibility of their own mental health.
