India’s National Mental Health Survey (2015–16) found that 70–92% of people living with a mental illness were getting no treatment. That gap needs doctors, counsellors and public care — and Tele-MANAS (14416) is free for any mental-health worry, not only emergencies. Manitya is not that care. It is for something quieter: the heaviness most of us carry without a name for it — a page for each feeling, with the words of home. Growing it is more than one person can do. That's where you come in.
Where you might fit.
Writers
Emotion pages and reading notes — in Hindi, Marathi, or English.
Translators
Bring the words home — vernacular reading-notes, authored with care, never auto-translated.
Mental-health reviewers
Psychologists, counsellors, or psychology students to keep the tone safe, accurate, and kind.
Designers & illustrators
Gentle visuals and quiet design, in the sand aesthetic Manitya is built on.
Developers
Front-end help to grow the site, keep it fast, and keep it free.
Outreach & community
Sharing, partnerships, and finding the people who need this most.
Lived experience
Share your story — anonymously, if you wish — so someone reading at 2 a.m. feels less alone. We will always ask before publishing, and never edit your meaning.
Something else?
Don't see your skill here? Tell us anyway. Good people find good work to do.
Want to help?
Tell us a little about yourself — what you'd like to do, and how much time you have. No experience required for many of these, and lived experience is its own kind of expertise.
Manitya will always be free to read, with no ads and no selling of data. It grows only through people who choose to give a little of their time. Thank you for considering it.
