Join the Race for Healthy Future - SHREE TMT Hyderabad 10K Run on 9th November 2025 at Gachibowli Stadium

In a nation of over 1.4 billion people, an invisible crisis is steadily gaining recognition: the challenge of mental health. For decades, conversations around mental well-being in India were shrouded in stigma and silence. Today, while the dialogue is slowly opening up, the statistics paint a sobering picture of the ground yet to be covered. Initiatives like the upcoming Shree TMT Hyderabad 10K Run – Mind Over Miles are crucial steps in transforming awareness into meaningful action.

Joining hands in this noble cause is the Little Ones Cure Foundation (A Unit of Bal Arogya Samvardhan), dedicated to giving critically ill children a second chance at life. From life-saving surgeries to essential medical treatments, their mission ensures that no baby is left without hope; a reminder that compassion and community care are at the heart of every change.

*The National Landscape: A Staggering Challenge*
According to a comprehensive study by The Lancet, as of 2017, an estimated 197 million people in India, roughly one in seven, suffer from mental disorders of varying severity. The World Health Organization has highlighted a massive treatment gap, suggesting that for conditions like depression, over 80% of people do not receive adequate care. This is compounded by a severe shortage of mental health professionals, with just over 0.75 psychiatrists per 100,000 people, far below the recommended rate of three or more.

The issue is not just a health crisis but also an economic one, with mental health conditions projected to cost the Indian economy *90 trillion* between 2012 and 2030. These figures underscore the urgent need for a shift from reactive treatment to proactive, community-based wellness initiatives.

*Telangana and Hyderabad: The Urban Pressure Cooker*
As one of India’s fastest-growing states, Telangana, with its bustling capital Hyderabad, faces a unique set of challenges. The city is a thriving hub for IT, education, and commerce, but this rapid development comes at a cost. The high-pressure corporate environment, intense academic competition, and the strains of modern urban life contribute significantly to rising levels of stress, anxiety, and burnout among its residents.

While cities like Hyderabad have better access to mental health facilities compared to rural areas, social stigma, lack of awareness, and the high cost of treatment remain significant barriers. It is in this context that community mobilization becomes a powerful tool for change, creating safe spaces for dialogue and promoting the message that seeking help is a sign of strength.

*SHREE TMT’s Run: A Step Towards a Stronger Society*
Recognizing the need for collective action, the SHREE TMT Hyderabad 10K Run – Mind Over Miles is being organized as a run for mental health awareness. The event aims to bring thousands of people together to champion the cause of mental wellness and shatter the associated stigma.

A spokesperson for SHREE TMT explained the philosophy behind the initiative, “At SHREE TMT, we have always believed that true strength is not only built with steel and concrete but also with the resilience of the human mind. In today’s fast-paced world, we often chase success and milestones, but real progress comes only when we balance achievement with mental wellness. The SHREE TMT Hyderabad 10K Run – Mind Over Miles is a reminder that mental health is not a luxury, it is a necessity. We are proud to be associated with this meaningful initiative, and we request everyone to come together on 9th November at 05:30 AM at Gachibowli Stadium. Let’s run for ourselves, our families, and our community to build a healthier, stronger tomorrow.”

This event is more than just a race; it is a movement to build a more supportive community. By bringing mental health to the forefront, the organizers hope to foster an environment where conversations about well-being are normalized.

“At SHREE TMT, we see our role as more than just building steel; we want to help build stronger communities. Mental health is an issue that touches each of us, whether in our homes, workplaces, or among friends. Too often it goes unspoken, but through this initiative, we want to bring it into the open. The SHREE TMT Hyderabad 10K Run – Mind Over Miles is about showing that together, we can make mental wellness a priority. We invite all of you — families, colleagues, youngsters, and seniors — to join us on 9th November at 05:30 AM at Gachibowli Stadium. Every step we take together will be a step towards a more caring and resilient society.”

*A Call to Action for a Healthier Hyderabad*
The core message of the event is one of empowerment and inner strength: “This run is about more than covering ten kilometers, it is about proving that when the mind is strong, no challenge is too big. At SHREE TMT, we have always believed that strong people build a strong nation, and that strength begins with mental wellness. By supporting the SHREE TMT Hyderabad 10K Run – Mind Over Miles, we want to inspire everyone to prioritize their well-being.”

The call to action is clear for every citizen of Hyderabad: join the run on 9th November at 05:30 AM at Gachibowli Stadium. Each step taken will be a collective stride towards a future where mental health is valued as much as physical health, building a stronger, healthier, and more resilient Hyderabad for all.
