Pukar is a free helpline where you can talk about what you're going through, without fear of being judged. You don't need to give your name. You don't need to explain everything. You just need to call. We'll listen. Maybe it's something in a relationship that's been weighing on you. Pressure from studies or work. Money worries. Loneliness. Grief. Something you've never been able to say out loud. Or maybe you're not even sure what it is, you just know it feels like too much. Whatever it is, you don't have to carry it alone. If you're having thoughts of hurting yourself or ending your life, please call us before doing anything. And if someone you care about is going through something like this, give them our number. That one step can make a difference. Our volunteers are trained to listen, not to advise. They won't brush aside what you're feeling or tell you what to do. They'll stay with you, hear you out, and help you find your way through. Pukar is based in Bangalore, with volunteers across cities. We speak Hindi and English. We are available every day, 10 am to 2 pm.
