Dear Dr. Ashok, There are a few organisations providing services for India's wandering mentally ill : The Banyan <http://www.thebanyan.org/>, Anbagam <http://www.anbagam.org/what-we-do/> and Udavum Karangal <http://www.udavumkarangal.org/> in Chennai,Ashadeep <http://www.ashadeepindia.org/> in Assam, Shraddha <http://www.shraddharehabilitationfoundation.org/> in Mumbai, Iswar Sankalpa <https://www.facebook.com/iswarsankalpa/info?tab=overview>, SEVAC <http://sevacmentalhealthcare.org/howoutreach.asp> and Antara <http://www.antaraglobal.org/treatment.html> in Kolkata, Karuna Trust <http://www.srtt.org/institutional_grants/health/splh_karuna_trust.htm> in Karnataka, Abhaya <http://www.abhaya.org/what_we_do>in Kerala,IHBAS <http://delhi.gov.in/wps/wcm/connect/doit_ihbas1/IHBAS/Home/OPD/Out+Reach+Clinics> in Delhi, Mission Ashra <http://www.missionashra.org/> in Orissa, are some (in no particular order). There are at least a dozen more and a few individuals also providing a range of services - street care, residential care, treatment, rehabilitation, some reach out to women alone, some to men alone...
There a few psychiatrists on this egroup - they could contribute towards answering your query. For background reading you could refer these resources <http://www.thebanyan.org/workshop/>from a National Conference on Homelessness and Mental Health and relevant videos from this playlist <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vVBwIH9Anc&list=PLCA3DECA898F7E8E9>. Perhaps these perspectives may help in deciding what you can do to help in this area.
