To address the huge burden of mental disorders, the Government of India has introduced the National Mental Health Programme (NMHP) in the country since 1982. A total of 232 districts in the country have been covered under the District Mental Health Program (DMHP) to provide detection, management and treatment of mental disorders/ illness. With the objective to address the shortage of mental health professionals in the country, 11 Centres of Excellence in Mental Health and 27 PG training departments in mental health specialties have been funded. Besides, three Central Institutions viz. National Institute of Mental Health And Neuro Sciences, Bangalore, LokopriyaGopinathBordoloi Regional Institute of Mental Health, Tezpur and Central Institute of Psychiatry, Ranchi have been strengthened for augmenting the human resources in the area of mental health and for capacity building in the country. During the 12th Five Year Plan, the District component of National Mental Health Programme has further been restructured to include additional components like suicide prevention services, work place stress management, life skills training and counseling in schools and colleges.

No financial benefits are provided to the persons suffering from mental illness or mental retardation under the various schemes of the National Mental Health Programme.

There is no provision for direct funding of mental health care research under the extant District Mental Health Programme. The details of expenditure incurred by the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences, Bangalore and LokopriyaGopinathBordoloi Regional Institute of Mental Health, Tezpur, Assam on research in the field of Mental Health during the last three years is given below:-
