Mission 80 — India's Mental Health Pledge
Azaadi from silence. Azaadi from stigma. Azaadi to seek help.
Take the pledge. Get your free certificate. Help mental-health support reach 80 people.
Don't just share a pledge. Share access to help.
Mission 80 also provides completely free human psychological treatment, Pan-India, with mode of care determined as clinically appropriate, for eligible severe or treatment-resistant cases facing substantial financial hardship.
The mission runs the whole 80th year — pledge on any day, your certificate carries your own date. Free, no sign-up, independent public-interest initiative.
Step 1 — take the pledge
Take the pledge, get your certificate
“I pledge to help make mental-health support easier to find. During India's 80th year of independence, I will thoughtfully share Mission 80 and free mental-health resources with at least 80 people.”
Free, instant and browser-only. Your tricolour Certificate of Pledge is signed by Dr. Nitnem Singh Sodhi, Founder of CheckMentalHealth.in.
🔒 Private by design — your name is processed only in your browser and is not uploaded or stored. A nickname keeps the pledge just as real.
Want to do more than share?
Mission 80 has a small verified volunteer team — students, clinicians and everyday people who help take the pledge to campuses, workplaces and neighbourhoods. Message us on WhatsApp and we will tell you what help is needed right now. Volunteers never handle anyone’s clinical information.

Freedom to seek help can be a public-health movement
“A mentally stronger India is not one where nobody struggles. It is one where nobody has to struggle in silence.”
Mission 80 turns a simple act — sharing a trustworthy starting point — into a collective pledge. The aim is not pressure or mass-spam; it is to make help visible inside families, friend circles and communities.
Silence
Make it easier to say: “I need help.”
Stigma
Normalise checking in on mental health.
Access
Put free 24×7 resources one tap away.
Ripple
Ask each person to thoughtfully pass it on.

Financial eligibility (BPL/AAY/equivalent low-income government category, or a qualifying government-issued family/household income certificate reviewed by Dr. Sodhi's team) AND clinical eligibility independently determined by Dr. Sodhi / Dr. Sodhi's professional team. An ordinary ration card, EWS status or Ayushman status does not automatically qualify.

See how the Mission 80 ripple can grow
80 × 80 × 80 … the ripple math
Using a rounded 2026 benchmark of about 1.46 billion people, the pure mathematical model crosses India's population in the fifth sharing wave.
- Wave 18080¹
- Wave 26,40080²
- Wave 3512,00080³
- Wave 440,960,00080⁴
- Wave 53,276,800,00080⁵
Cumulative through wave 4
41,478,480
Only about 2.8% of a 1.46 billion benchmark.
The fifth wave
3,276,800,000
≈ 2.24× the India benchmark, in theory.
Overlap
The same person may receive the link more than once.
Participation
Not everyone who receives it will forward it.
Unique reach
A share is not the same as a unique person reached.
Impact
Reach is not diagnosis, treatment or a guaranteed outcome.
Theoretical model only: it assumes every person shares with 80 new, unique people and that there is no overlap. Population benchmark rounded from UN World Population Prospects 2024. Mission 80 is a participation challenge, not a guaranteed-reach claim.
If you or someone needs help right now
Safety first
AI support and self-tests are not a diagnosis and do not replace a qualified clinician or emergency care. In crisis: Tele-MANAS 14416 / 1800-89-14416. Immediate danger: 112.
Mission 80 — questions
What is Mission 80?
Mission 80 is India's mental-health pledge. It runs through India's entire 80th year of independence, from 15 August 2026 to 15 August 2027: take the pledge, then thoughtfully share Mission 80 and free mental-health resources with at least 80 people so help is easier to find before someone reaches a crisis.
How do I join Mission 80?
Take the pledge on this page and generate your free certificate in seconds. Then share checkmentalhealth.in/mission-80 with your 80 people and nominate 8 of them to take the pledge too. You can join on any day of the 80th year.
Is CheckMentalHealth.in free?
Yes. The AI psychologist chat, 21 validated mental-health screeners and evidence-informed self-checks, 46 mental-health tools, Conditions & Insights and Ask the Psychologist answers are free to access according to their existing terms. AI support and self-tests are not a diagnosis and do not replace professional care or emergency help when required.
Who qualifies for free human psychological treatment under Mission 80?
Mission 80 provides completely free human psychological treatment, Pan-India, for eligible severe or treatment-resistant cases facing substantial financial hardship. Both financial and clinical eligibility must be verified: financial eligibility through BPL/AAY/equivalent low-income government category, or a qualifying government-issued family/household income certificate reviewed by Dr. Sodhi's team; clinical eligibility independently determined by Dr. Sodhi / Dr. Sodhi's professional team. AI chats, self-test scores or self-declaration cannot establish eligibility.
Does a ration card, EWS or Ayushman card automatically qualify me?
No. Only qualifying low-income government categories such as BPL/AAY-equivalent, or a qualifying government-issued family/household income certificate, are considered for financial eligibility. EWS status or Ayushman coverage is not automatic eligibility. Financial eligibility must also be paired with clinical eligibility assessed by Dr. Sodhi's team.
How do I request assessment for free treatment?
Message Dr. Sodhi's team on WhatsApp (+91 92353 44444) using the button on this page. Documents and clinical assessment are verified manually after contact. If both financial and clinical eligibility are confirmed, treatment is completely free; otherwise, standard consultation/treatment fees apply.
Is Mission 80 a guaranteed-reach claim?
No. The 80×80 ripple math is a theoretical model that assumes zero overlap and full participation. Mission 80 is a participation challenge, not a promise of viral reach or of any clinical outcome.
What is the Mission 80 certificate?
It is a free, tricolour Certificate of Pledge you can generate on this page and share with your 80 people. It is created entirely inside your browser and signed by Dr. Nitnem Singh Sodhi, Founder of CheckMentalHealth.in. Nothing you type is sent to us or stored anywhere, and the certificate is self-issued rather than a registry record.
How do I get a Mission 80 certificate?
Scroll to the pledge section on this page, type the name you want on it (a nickname is fine) and optionally your city, then tap Take the pledge. The tricolour Certificate of Pledge is generated inside your browser in seconds and downloads straight to your device. It is free, needs no sign-up, and nothing you type leaves your browser.
Is Mission 80 official or government-run?
No. Mission 80 is an independent civic initiative by CheckMentalHealth.in, founded by Dr. Nitnem Singh Sodhi. It is not a government programme and is not affiliated with any government body. There is no registry, no pledge counter and no account — the certificate is self-issued and participation is deliberately not tracked.
