This is an age of fiberglass, an age where there is no place for human emotions. In the name of development the focus is set on achieving materialistic things and least importance is given to other aspects of life such as religion, culture, sense of community and good relation between man to man and man to nature. The competitions are stiff, but impossible to avoid them in all walks of life. The pace at which everything is running is simply mind-boggling. No one stops for nobody. Stress, tensions and violence seems to be the order of the day. There is no peace of mind, no harmony in the community, no dignity of labour, the list goes on and the end result being the brimming of all sorts of social issues. Everyone here is busy satisfying their hunger for success in one form or the other There is no place for the weak, the strong engulf them. It is the call of the wild where the age old paradigm, "Survival of the fittest" is becoming true time and again. If we let all these to happen, then the society will not be an ideal place for civilized man to live upon. And it is believed, if unchecked in time the contemporary man may have the wrong notion of regarding economic prosperity as the only development, while the fact is that no development is true development if it fails to bring peace of mind, harmony and good relationship among men. A timely intervention is therefore required. "Making a mistake is being human but to reconcile it makes us more human". It is with this aim that (C.M.H.) Centre for Mental Hygiene, Sangaiprou, Airport Road, Imphal was started in the year 1979. We believe that together with a little effort now, we can make a vast difference in the future.
