Project Mann is being run in collaboration with the Aditya Birla Education Trust (ABET). An MoU in this regard was signed in November last year.
“The suicide rate of CISF has declined below the national average during the years 2024 and 2025,” CISF said in a statement issued after review of progress of Project Mann by CISF DG R S Bhatti reviewed progress of Project Mann with ABET chairperson Neerja Birla.
“DG CISF appreciated the role of the ABET professionals in creating mental health awareness through awareness building, counselling, clinical interventions and training of CISF personnel,” said CISF.
Under Project Mann, ABET has also trained 1,726 CISF officers and sub-officers to identify and manage low-risk mental health issues and escalate serious cases to professionals. This two-tiered structure has made psychological support more accessible at the grassroots level.

The initiative has resulted in counselling and interventions in the case of depression, marital discord, financial stress, among others, said CISF.
