ABOUT ME

FOUNDER - #TRUE LIGHT 2025 

​

#TheTrue Light 2025 is a global mental health initiative focused on creating awareness, sharing knowledge, sharing field reports, and encouraging healing. Its goal is to openly talk about mental health—especially the areas that are often ignored or misunderstood—and to create safe space where everybody, especially, the students could feel supported to ask for help, share their stories, and worries and connect with spinsters, parents, guardians, friends, well-wishers and others in the civil society. A major part of this initiative is bringing together psychologists, therapists, and mental health experts from around the world.

These professionals will participate in online and in-person events such as conferences, workshops, and talks, sharing their knowledge and experiences to guide and help people better understand mental health, suggest means to overcome negative thoughts, and adopt the supports available, giving everybody a chance to learn, connect, and take action to lead a stress free and a positive life.# The True Light 2025 aims to break down the stigma surrounding mental health and make 2025, a year of real change. The message is simple and that is- WE ARE TOGETHER—AND IT’S TIME TO STEP INTO THE LIGHT.The intense pressure to succeed in highly competitive exams like JEE and NEET—often seen as the only viable path—has led to a tragic rise in mental health struggles among students. The core issue is that many students and their parents do not consider a Plan ‘B’ ever, which leaves the gifted students struggling silently with anxiety, depression, stress, and in some tragic cases, thoughts of suicide—often without timely access to counselling or mental health support. Even in prestigious institutions like the IITs and Medical Colleges, students face high academic expectations and social isolation, creating mental health crisis that demand immediate and systemic attention and a time bound solution.Recognizing the seriousness of this grave problem, the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India has very rightly and timely intervened, stressing the urgent need for comprehensive mental health frameworks, suicide prevention strategies, and support systems, nationwide.To address this grave situation, the Global Centre for Social Dynamic Research – the GCSDR has launched a nationwide initiative called “ # The True Light 2025 ” to tackle these challenges through a comprehensive mental health program by reaching out to the roots of this deadly menace.

This initiative spans from in-depth research to capacity-building workshops and the establishment of sustained support systems for the needy students.The issue of mental health has become much alarming and much more disturbing than ever before, in the society of today.In the recent times, almost every alternate day, through different electronic and print media reports or from the social media sources, we have been witnessing a growing number of really sadistic, painful and untimely incident of mis-happenings, those involving the brilliant young minds appearing for the JEE and NEET Entrance Exams, though they are otherwise with high potential; to be the strong pillars of India’s future.These adolescents and youth who could otherwise make significant contributions to the nation, get way laid and they fall prey and succumb finally to the undesired and unwarranted pressures of stress, anxiety, frustration, negative thoughts and mental health struggles; in absentia of timely advice and support, mature guidance, care and counselling at the right time of their life.Apart from above, the non-performers and school drop outs, face the same situation for want of resources and also due to their adverse family circumstances. Sadly, there has also been a heartbreaking and disturbing rise in brutal cases of criminal acts being committed by the minors even, necessitating the need to intervene urgently. WHY THIS INITIATIVE MATTERS​The intense pressure to succeed in highly competitive exams like JEE and NEET—often seen as the only viable path—has led to a tragic rise in mental health struggles among students.

The real problem lies because the students or their parents, do not have a Plan ‘B’ in their minds, whatsoever. Resultantly, many such gifted students often struggle in silence with anxiety, depression, and unwanted stress and negative thoughts in their mind taking the extreme step—without access to the timely counseling on mental health issues and challenges. “TRUE LIGHT IMPACT FUND”The GCSDR is deeply concerned to announce the launch of the “TRUE LIGHT IMPACT FUND” that will provide a sustained financial support for the student’s mental health programs, prevention measures, and resilience-building initiatives nationwide.
