VP, Corporate Services, Tata Steel, graced the occasion as the Chief Guest. He applauded the efforts made by TMH and emphasized the need for organizing more of such programs to handle the problem of suicide. Dr. G. Ramdas, Chief, TMH proposed the welcome address and deliberated upon the reasons for the increased incidents of suicide, particularly in the younger age group.

Tata Main HospitalTMH, as part of its initiative to spread awareness on the cause of suicide prevention, has earlier organized several programs including an inter-school debate on Sep 6, 2013 and a ‘walk for life’ march on Sep 8, 2013.
