In 2020, a gentleman was rescued in Chennai by the MANASU team. After being missing for eight years, his family in West Bengal had lost hope, presuming he was no more, even arranging a new marriage for his wife out of pity.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the MANASU team in recovering his mental health, he and his father are now on their way home and will be reunited today.

Witnessing such moments of joy and gratitude reaffirms our mission. Thank you for being part of MANASU. ๐Ÿ’–
