1. Support for the mind
Progress Report
2007 - 2009
"Past the seeker as he prayed
came the crippled and the beggar and the beaten.
And seeing them... he cried,
'Great God, how is it that a loving creator
can see such things and yet
do nothing about them?'......
God said, 'I did do something.
I made you.’

The members of Iswar Sankalpa deeply
regret the death of Dr. K. L. Narayanan on
10th April, 2008.
Dr. Narayanan was one of the key
visionaries of Iswar Sankalpa, and his
untimely demise leaves a huge gap not
only in the organization, but in the field of
mental health in West Bengal.

3. Kolkata, the City of Joy, is also the ‘city of unending nights’ for a section of
its people, the homeless mentally ill. Crudely referred to as ‘pagol’ on the
street, these hapless persons wander from place to place, lost to their
families, ignored by welfare and health agencies, and pariahs to the rest of
society. No one cares to understand that these people are not ‘crazy’ - all
they have is an incommunicable mental disease, - a medical condition that
can be reversed with medication, care and a little support.
Naya This report is the chronicle of the two year journey of Iswar Sankalpa’s
flagship project - Naya Daur, which takes care of Kolkata’s forgotten
population. It is estimated that there are over 400,000 homeless

More heartening than just quantitative gains are the stories that are emerging - of Manasi and others whose
lives have been renewed; of Sardar, who now chooses to stay in the community that looked after him and
refuses to return to his family; of Fulwari, one of our patient’s at Sealdah who has created a little community
of her own. And the story that humbles us all - care-givers emerging in the community - some of whom are
homeless themselves.
While the successes have been many, the untimely death of Dr. K. L. Narayanan, one of the founders and
key visionaries of Iswar Sankalpa, just a year into the project has been a body blow for the team. His loss
however, has made us more determined to live up to his vision of a world where the mentally ill, whether
homeless or other wise, are treated with the respect and compassion that is their right.
This report is a tribute to his vision.

with a difference - it provides care and treatment to a population that is
invisible to the rest of society the homeless mentally ill.
Identification and assessment of homeless mentally ill persons The metamorphosis
living on the streets of Kolkata Of Manasi
In two years, we have mapped 141 wards of Kolkata, and have
identified over 500 people in critical need of help. Apart from our own
surveillance teams, the Kolkata Police and concerned citizens help us
find homeless people who need psychiatric help, and have treated over
200 cases. While the psychiatrist assesses the clinical needs of the
patient, social workers assess their support needs and locate
community resources to take care of the patient. In cases where the
patient is in a critical condition, our Emergency Response Unit has a
specialized multi-disciplinary team to deal with the immediate crisis and

and injuries at general clinics / hospitals, as no psychiatric facility in the
city, either state or private, will treat serious physical problems. Persons
requiring hospitalization for serious mental diseases are transferred to
state hospitals. If we find that the patient needs only a daily dose of
medication, we ensure that the person is treated in the community
space which he or she is habituated to. In such cases, we provide
medication and advice to the care-giver, and make regular follow up
visits for evaluation and further treatment and support.
Currently, about 50 patients get food and medicines which is distributed

Karnataka (2), Maharashtra (1), Bihar (1), and Tamil Nadu (1). 8 persons
have been from the districts of West Bengal.

5. The team comprises psychiatrists, social workers, psychologists and
activists who work with the community, hospitals, homes and
shelters to bring acutely needed medical treatment those homeless
people suffering from psychological disorders.
Baseline survey and mapping
We have conducted the first baseline survey on the incidence of homeless
mentally ill persons in 141 wards of Kolkata. The baseline survey has
resulted in two significant outputs - for one, we now have an idea of the
disease profile of the primary stakeholders of our project. The second
output is a Community Resource Map Handbook, which lists agencies and
resources that are avaialble for the treatment and care of mentally ill
homeless patients in all 141 wards.
Advocacy with stakeholders
Advocacy with various institutions such as the police, the judiciary,
psychiatrists and doctors has resulted in influential stakeholders lending
their support and voice to our initiatives. More importantly, these advocacy
activites are bringing about a slow but sure change of attitude towards a
population that has been totally excluded from society so far.
Community Mental Health Committees
The stigma against the homeless mentally ill is born of ignorance -
ignorance of the disease and its debilitating effects on the sufferer. Two
mental health committees have been set up in Behala and Sealdah to
uphold the rights of the homeless mentally ill and to promote awareness
about mental health in the concerned wards. Two more such committees

8. To hell and back
In March 2008, Malleswari was found in Kalighat. She
was a bizarre sight- a woman in her mid forties wearing
a loincloth, her head smeared with vermilion, marigold
garlands strung around her neck. She was thrashing
the cars passing by with the branch of a tree. Suddenly
a taxi driver stopped his vehicle and got
down to beat her. Dr. Narayanan, who lived
near witnessed the incident and intervened
immediately. He brought the agitated
Malleswari to his home and there she was
given food, clothing and was cleaned up.
She was very aggressive and muttered
curses the whole day long. After informing
the police, we took her to a nursing home,
and then to Antara for treatment. Later she
moved to Paripurnata- a rehabilitation
centre.
Malleswari and her son unite After about three months she began to
after 6 long years recover, and we discovered that she was
from Hyderabad. Through the Kolkata Police
Missing Persons Squad we located her husband and young son -

who had not seen her ever since the day she had wandered away
from home in a psychotic haze six years ago
On the 16th of January, 2009, a social worker from Iswar Sankalpa
escorted her home and reunited her with her family. Mother and son
stared at each other incessantly - it seemed for ages - until they
reached out and wordlessly embraced each other.
This is my family now
A resident of Bishnupur in South 24 Parganas, Prabir Kumar Sardar
worked as a labourer at a factory in Ballygunge. When he became
mentally ill, his family shunned him, and one day he left home never to
return. No one knew where he went, and his family made no attempt to
8 find him, not even to lodge a missing persons diary at the police station.
He used to roam naked and eat from garbage vats in the Kalighat Tuku’s story,as reported

Rashbehari area. The people used to make fun of him. Because of his in the Bartaman
flowing beard, long moustache and his habit of offering prayers, locals
called him Ramakrishna. A local lad, Sivaprasad Roy, developed a
fondness for him and brought Sardar's case to us.
Today, after a year of treatment, Sardar is a changed man, with little
resemblance to the ill-kempt 'pagol' roaming the streets. He continues
to live on the footpath, and takes a bath everyday at the Sulabh
complex. The very locals who tormented him earlier, now take care of
him. We contacted his family, who came to visit him and broke down on
seeing Sardar. They wanted to take him home, but Sardar refused to
leave the area. The closeness he has developed with the locals, and
the neglect he suffered at the hands of his family members have forced
him to stay back. Even the locals do not want to lose him. They are
planning to help him open a tea stall very soon. Sardar said: “ I have no
home. I want to stay here. These people are my family members”

9. The homeless mentally ill are often seen in
various states of mental distress and physical
abuse around railway stations, bus stands,
pilgrim centres and on street corners. They are
the 'invisible people', separated from and/or
abandoned by their families.
The Sealdah story
Sealdah station, a major rail terminus in Kolkata,
is one such ‘home’, as it were, for West Bengal’s
migrants and displaced people. In its attempts to
enforce stricter security measures, the Railway
Protection Force (RPF) is keen to clear the
station area of vagrants, but have chalked out a
humane plan to solve the problem in partnership
with us. They have organized health camps for
those living on and around the station premises,
helped us identify those in need of medical help,
moved the courts on our behalf to allow us to
take care of these patients, and are co-operating
with our efforts in repatriating them back to their
homes. Forty two year old Lalita can barely recall when she had first

and Ballygunge.
Fulwari and friends - building community
More than other homeless people who stick together in families and communities and survive by begging or
working for minimal wages, the mentally ill are the most vulnerable because they are isolated even from the
other homeless. Many have some form of psychosis, and paranoia causes them to distrust others. They
are unable to carry out basic self care, let alone protect themselves, forage for food and look after their
meagre belongings. Many lose their memories, and wander around in a constant state of hyper vigilance.
Those who have depression and other mood disorders have no motivation to look after themselves, and do
not even have social or familial support to protect them from the pain in their minds. 9
Sealdah station, home to the maximum number of homeless people in the city, is where an unlikely new
community is being born. A group of our patients, all women, have come together of their own accord, and
take care of each other. They cook together, bathe together, sleep together, and watch out for each other.
One among them, Fulwari, is the leader of the team. She keeps a motherly eye over her little community,
and reports to us when someone is missing or not being cooperative. When they sit down to share their
food, one of them divides it equally and then distributes it. Even though they do not communicate well with
each other, they know that they are safe and secure - they have each other now.
