March 17, 2026 – Capacit’e Infraprojects Ltd has reinforced its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitment by supporting the development of a dedicated psychiatric care unit at Bharatiya Arogya Nidhi Hospital in Juhu, Mumbai. This initiative reflects the company’s belief that mental health is inseparable from physical health and deserves equal priority, compassion, and infrastructure.
India faces a growing mental health burden, with over 197 million individuals affected according to the National Mental Health Survey (2016). Recent parliamentary data (December 2025) revealed that 7.3% of adolescents (13–17 years) in surveyed states suffer from mental health conditions. Despite rising awareness, nearly 80–85% of people remain without timely or adequate care due to limited access, lack of resources, and stigma.
Through this CSR initiative, Capacit’e is helping bridge the gap by creating spaces of care, dignity, and compassion. The psychiatric unit at Bharatiya Arogya Nidhi Hospital will provide structured, respectful, and specialized care, ensuring patients and families feel supported. Beyond hospital walls, Capacit’e has also introduced compassionate medical leave policies, workplace sensitization programs, and recognition of mental health as part of medical care—fostering a culture of acceptance and support.
Ms. Sakshi Katyal, Executive Director, Procurement, Capacit’e Infraprojects Ltd, said: “Our commitment to mental health is not limited to one project—it is a long-term vision. We see this initiative as the beginning of a larger movement where healthcare institutions, corporates, and communities come together to create spaces of dignity and compassion. Going forward, Capacit’e will continue to invest in initiatives that normalize mental health support, strengthen infrastructure, and inspire collective responsibility for a healthier, more humane future.”
Dr. Kersi Chavda, leading psychiatrist, emphasized: “Timely hospital-based psychiatric treatment is vital to bridging India’s care gap. Structured facilities can transform patient outcomes and restore dignity in mental health care.”
This CSR initiative complements national programs such as Tele-MANAS, which has already handled over 1.8 million counseling calls, and the establishment of 25 Centres of Excellence to strengthen mental health expertise. Capacit’e’s efforts align with international best practices and reinforce a rights-based approach to healthcare.
The completion of this psychiatric care facility represents more than a single project—it is a step toward normalizing mental health support across communities. Capacit’e hopes this initiative will inspire other organizations and healthcare institutions to integrate structured mental health services, thereby driving progress toward a healthier, more humane future.
