The organisation has now extended its service to Angul district. Focusing on the organization’s
goal of reaching a more destitute population all over the state, a new center has been inaugurated
in the coal city of Talcher.
The center opened on March 1st, 2019 and houses over 40 residents. The family of Mission
Ashra, Talcher will grow in time.

Mission Ashra, Janla centre is the first Mental Health Rehabilitation Centre that People’s Forum
was established in 2003. The centre was opened at a time when no other organisation or individual believed in the magnitude of the problem that destitution and mental illness can cause in the Indian scenario.
The Janla centre features the following:

People’s forum established Mission Ashra’s satellite centre at Jharsuguda in 2016. The centre is the first of its kind in Western Orissa, which has rehabilitation centres for both men and women with mental health concerns. It was started with concerted efforts of Mr Sanjay Jhethi and Mr
Sukanta Samal, under the guidance of member secretary of people’s forum, Mr Gobinda Chandra Pattanaik.
Western Orissa has a sizeable population of those who are homeless and suffers mental illnesses. The district administration of Jharsuguda paid attention to the problem and took initiative to provide a safe haven for the people who have been discarded and tortured by society. Since People’s Forum has been working in this concern for long with discrete reputation, we were invited to replicate the Mission Ashra rehabilitation centre model in Jharsuguda.
In the beginning, the female unit had 25 beds facility, which grew exponentially with time. Now the centre has 100 beds facility. Similarly, the male unit which started with 25 beds facility has now increased to 50 beds.
