Indian being a member of the United Nation and after signing UN Convention for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities had taken up the issue of human rights seriously with general population in diversified groups and places. However, special emphasis is being given to human rights violations against people suffering mental illness, which are least, recognized but is widely spread in the country. People with mental disorders are expose to a wide range of human rights violations within and outside the health care context. This includes social justice and empowerment; fighting for the right, liberty, freedom, dignity, equal opportunity, discrimination and abuse of all types witnessed in institutions and in the community. Given these realities, the problem related to human right violation is dependent on vigilant members of society and the intervention of courts for treatment, care, guardianship and protection. Mainstreaming these issues, first within the disability movement itself and then into other rights movements is critical to ensure a large and more effective lobby, besides generating awareness. Advocating for amendments in current legislations is an indispensable goal to protect the rights of persons suffering mentally illness. Parents, friends and family need to congregate on a national scale and form a unified voice for demands as care providers. Dr. Harshit Sinha on the behalf of Vardaan Foundation and with the support of MOHFW, GOI have taken leadership to develop these guidelines by organizing a workshop. It will make valuable contribution that not only benefit individuals suffering from the mental disorders, but also draw attention of the programme managers and policy makers for a practical approach to the extremely complex and challenging needs of human rights violation in the mental health sector. The guideline is available online at http://varfound.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Final_HR_311208.pdf
