Abstract
Rural and community psychiatry has a special relevance to India because of the distribution of the population, limited professional resources, and the challenges of the multicultural societies in the country. Professionals and planners have pioneered initiatives to integrate mental health care with general health care, strengthen families' role in mental health care, and built up wide range of community care programs to “reach the unreached.” The progress has been impressive but much needs to be done. There is greater need to think of fully utilizing the potentials of “people” as the ultimate resource for rural and community psychiatry.
