Treatment gaps of 60-70%, reflecting, amongst many other factors, Human Resources shortfalls means that 150 million India never accessed mental healthcare. In Punjab, mental health training is required in primary health centers. A short-term synchronous training was conceptualized by the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences.

Task sharing and capacity building initiatives can be undertaken during the pandemic to meet the demand for mental healthcare service delivery.
