Mumbai, 15 May (HS): Dr Anand Nadkarni never looked psychiatry

as medical service, but a service from the social angle. He spoke to eradicate

social stigma attached to mental health problems and make the society sensitive

to people with such problems. Dr Nadkarni was consistently engaged in

generating awareness through his lectures stage shows and his articles and

books. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis condoled the death of

renowned psychiatrist and social worker Dr Anand Nadkarni with these words.

Fadnavis said with Dr Nadkarni’s death we lost a

social guide who tried to link several fields by removing the biased approach

of the society. His death has caused immense loss to various social fields. Fadnavis

also recalled his contribution to the society through his organisation Muktangan

in Pune.
