About NIMHANS

The National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences
(NIMHANS) is a multidisciplinary institute for patient care and
academic pursuit in the field of mental health and neurosciences.
NIMHANS is synonymous with providing high standards of clinical
care, quality training and cutting-edge research in the frontier areas.
Combined priorities for comprehensive patient care, manpower
development and research, stem from the commitment to an
integrated and multidisciplinary approach which addresses societal
needs. The advances in genomics, computational neuroscience,
mathematical modelling, neuroimaging, molecular biology and a host
of new disciplines including public health, are being translated to
help humanity in need and promote the growth of knowledge.
A special feature of this Institute since its inception is the
combination of research and training with promotive, preventive and
curative aspects of clinical services in Mental Health and
Neurosciences.
The manpower development programmes at NIMHANS reflect the
strides in fusing together and nurturing behavioural sciences,
neurosciences, basic biological sciences and ancient health
systems.
The Institute provides inputs to the Central and State Governments in
areas including the establishment of new psychiatric facilities,
improvement of existing facilities and strategizing a national
programme for mental health.
The Institute has emerged as the nodal centre for evolving national
policies in the field of mental health, neurosciences and injury. This
exemplifies a unique model of successful partnership between the
Union and State Governments (Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare),
NIMHANS has made significant progress and is a centre for
excellence in mental health and neuroscience in the country.
NIMHANS has produced more than 1,000 Psychiatrists, about 600
Clinical Psychologists and Psychiatric Nurses so far—who are
working in both national and international contexts.
The Central Government recognized its eminent academic position,
growth and contributions, and declared it a ‘Deemed University’ in
1994. In 2012, NIMHANS was conferred the status of an ‘Institute of
National Importance’.
The history of the institute dates back to 1847, when the Bangalore Lunatic
Asylum was founded. In 1925, the Government of Mysore rechristened the
asylum as the Mental Hospital. The Mysore Government Mental Hospital
became the first institute in India for postgraduate training in psychiatry.
The National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS) was
the result of the amalgamation of the erstwhile State Mental Hospital and
the All India Institute of Mental Health (AIIMH) established by the Government
of India in 1954. The institute was inaugurated on 27 December 1974,
establishing it as an autonomous body under the Societies Registration Act to
lead in the area of medical service and research in the country.
On November 14, 1994, NIMHANS was conferred a deemed university status
by the University Grants Commission with academic autonomy. The institute
has been declared as an Institute of National Importance by an act of
parliament in 2012.
