Grand Inauguration of Sanmarg Mind Wellness – Nagpur’s
New Destination for Mental Health Care
Nagpur’s mental health landscape took a significant step forward on Sunday, 5th July 2026, with the grand inauguration of Sanmarg Mind Wellness and Rehabilitation Centre, a unit of Asssan Hospital, at Mauza Sukali, Panjari Lodhi, off Wardha Road. Positioned as “Nagpur’s New Destination for Mental Wellness,” the facility was launched in the presence of some of Maharashtra’s most prominent public figures, marking the event as one of the city’s notable healthcare milestones this year.
About the Event
The inauguration ceremony was held from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and brought together senior political leaders, social figures, and Nagpur’s medical community under one roof to mark the opening of this new mental wellness facility. The event reflects a growing, welcome shift in how mental health infrastructure is being prioritized in Tier-2 cities like Nagpur – historically a space where dedicated, large-scale mental wellness centres have been limited.
Inaugurated in the Presence of Distinguished Guests
The inauguration was performed at the hands of:
- Shri Mohanji Bhagwat, Param Pujaniye Sarsanghchalak of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)
- Shri Devendraji Fadnavis, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Maharashtra
- Shri Nitinji Gadkari, Hon’ble Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways, Government of India
The event was also graced by the presence of several other senior leaders from Maharashtra’s government and Nagpur’s political landscape, including:
- Shri Chandrashekharji Bawankule, Minister of Revenue, Government of Maharashtra (Cabinet Minister)
- Dr. Pankajji Bhoyar, Minister of State for Home (Rural), Housing, School Education, Cooperation & Mining, Government of Maharashtra
- Shri Pravinji Datke, Hon’ble MLA, Central Nagpur
- Shri Sameerji Meghe, Hon’ble MLA, Hingna Nagpur
The presence of such a wide spectrum of leadership – from spiritual and social leadership to state and central government representation – underscores the scale of importance being placed on mental health infrastructure in Nagpur and Vidarbha at large.
The Medical Team Behind Sanmarg Mind Wellness
Supporting the launch was a dedicated team of doctors associated with the facility, including:
- Dr. Sagar Chiddarwar
- Dr. Suleman Virani
- Dr. Nikhil Pande
- Dr. Shrikant Nimbhorkar
- Dr. Abha Bang Soni
- Dr. Abhishek Mamarde
This team represents the clinical foundation of Sanmarg Mind Wellness’s mission to deliver structured, compassionate, and modern mental health care to the people of Nagpur.
Why This Matters for Nagpur
Mental health care in India has historically been under-resourced outside major metros, and Vidarbha is no exception. The launch of a dedicated, large-scale mental wellness facility – backed by significant institutional and governmental support – signals a meaningful shift for the region. For residents of Nagpur and surrounding areas who have previously had to travel to Mumbai, Pune, or other metro cities for specialized psychiatric and psychological care, a dedicated centre closer to home is a genuinely significant development.
The name “Sanmarg” (meaning “the right path”) reflects the facility’s stated mission – “Nurturing Minds, Restoring Lives” – positioning it as a full-spectrum destination for mental wellness rather than a single-service clinic.

What This Means Going Forward
With formal operations now underway, Sanmarg Mind Wellness is set to offer Nagpur residents access to a range of mental health services, from psychiatric consultations to structured therapy programs. As the facility opens its doors to patients, it adds a significant new resource to Nagpur’s healthcare ecosystem – one built with visible institutional backing and a clear public commitment to mental wellness.
For those in Nagpur seeking mental health support – whether for depression, anxiety, mood disorders, or other concerns – having a dedicated, well-supported facility in the city is a meaningful step toward making that care more accessible and less stigmatized.
