This initiative
is planned as an expedition on road by the “
Falcon
team” that will cover the length and breadth
of India over a period of 3 weeks starting January 25,
2006. The primary objective will be to spread the message
of awareness on mentally ill women, the problems they
face in society, the lack of support groups that they
can depend on, how families and society in general can
care for them, and the work of The Banyan among this
very underprivileged section of our society. The secondary
focus of the expedition will be on capturing the vignettes
of urban and rural India that depict the transformation
of India towards the "Vision 2020" of our
President. Eventually, we are planning publication of
these photos as a travelogue with the same theme on
both print and the internet media.
